We came to Raynetta after a negative experience with a different realtor. Her professionalism and attentiveness to our wishes were beyond reproach. She returned phone calls promptly, sought out answers to our questions quickly and was in contact with us faithfully throughout the process. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience with her! I would highly recommend her.

I could not have asked for a better first-time-home-buying experience, especially in this crazy market. Raynetta was extremely helpful, responsive and patient with me. She made the process fun and enjoyable. I would recommend Raynetta to anyone and everyone I can. She truly is a special lady who knows what she’s doing in real estate. 10 stars in my book!

Our experience with Raynetta was Phenomenal. We were looking for a home in a very specific location near the area many generations of my family grew up and still live today. This area is in high demand and has had little available. When our home went on the market Raynetta contacted us immediately. She found a section of my great grandparent's original estate where several generations of my family called home. There were several offers on the home already. She discussed buying strategies and helped us make an acceptable offer. After our offer was accepted she guided us through the entire process and took all of the stress out of buying a home. I would highly recommend Raynetta Praest to anyone looking for their dream home.

Raynetta was wonderful to work with! There can be many terms and procedures that might not be familiar to everyone buying or selling a home yet she explained everything in a very clear way so that we knew exactly what was happening at each step. She is very client focused and dedicated to doing everything possible in order to provide a positive experience. She made the time for us to have an additional walk-through the house before we put in an offer and then was willing to come to our house after a long day in order to help us write up the offer. It was a huge pleasure working with Raynetta and I'd highly recommend her for either buying or selling a home.

As first time homebuyers entering the pandemic market, to say we were feeling apprehensive is an understatement. Despite the difficult market, Raynetta made the process enjoyable! She listened to what we hoped for, encouraged us, took the time to help us learn in each step, was a warming presence, honest, positive, and knowledgeable. There were numerous occasions where she went out of her way for me and my fiance; she was flexible with our weird work schedules when it came to home showings, and did all the background work so all we had to do was show up. We can't recommend Raynetta enough! If you're looking for someone to help you navigate the ever-changing market, Raynetta's the one you want!!

My husband and I were very pleased with the service we received from Raynetta Praest when we recently sold our home in Holland. Raynetta used a phone application to make showing our home convenient for us as sellers. It was easy to use and kept all parties in the loop on the date and time of the showing. She was also readily available by phone if we had any questions about the process, which we found helpful. I would highly recommend Ms. Praest to any family or friends who wish to sell their house.

My husband and I bought property. From the time the sign was posted at the property to the acceptance of our bid was less than 72 hours. Raynetta was a true advocate to ensure we understood our options, bid, and final outcome.
I truly feel that her attention to deal and knowledge lead us to provider a quick and impactful offer. She also diligently called to obtain updates each day and communicated them back with us.
Her guidance and support made all the difference in which we will use her for any future home or land purchases.

Raynetta’s guidance as I was suddenly tasked with selling my sister’s home was invaluable. She responded quickly to my texts and calls and provided excellent advice. She has an open and friendly personality. I recommend her without hesitation.

Raynetta is great. She showed us around 30 houses. When it seemed like nothing was good enough for us, she assured us that the right house was out there. When a house sold and was off the market before we even had a chance to see it, she still had a positive attitude. Raynetta worked really hard for us, never pushed us to make a decision, and ended up feeling like a real friend.

Raynetta was an absolute joy to work with. She was very knowledgeable and extremely professional. We were in the process of relocating to Florida and Raynetta made us priority doing all she could to sale our home quickly and for the maximum value! We felt comfortable in knowing this could be done. After a little bit of painting and sprucing up, our home sold within 4 days! We are forever grateful for Raynetta's service and expertise :) Not only is she a fantastic realtor but she's a good, honest person. You can't go wrong choosing her as your realtor!

This is hard to do because this woman is so many good things. When you hear the term above and beyond, and if you ever see it, Raynetta is sitting much higher and further. She communicated with me and my fiancé on every problem that was an issue. She was there literally every step of what was kind of a long road for us, not only was she there for us, she was there with a smile and the most amazing attitude. I'm all for doing things myself so they get done correctly and efficiently, but with Raynetta, your mind is at ease. She is a truly amazing person and I aspire to be like her honestly. Amazing is short of what this woman is she is just good, so so good. None of this was possible without her. She deserves much more recognition than she gets I'm sure. Modest, honest, and every good word and then some. So think the best thoughts and I promise this wonderful wonderful woman will just show above and beyond. Thank you again Raynetta for all you have done and all that you are.

Raynetta is not just a realtor, she in the match making business. She does not want to just sell you a house; She wants to help you find your home. Through out the whole process she was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to reach. She was always able to quickly and accurately answer our questions, and as first time home buyers we had a lot of them. We couldn't have asked for someone better to help us through this experience.

Raynetta did a fantastic job in selling our condo. She was always very professional with quick thinking answers and explanations to our many questions, and returned phone calls and emails quickly. We were traveling and out of the state through this whole process. Raynetta and her team always seemed to be on top of any concerns that came up and made the sale run smoothly. If we were ever in need of another realtor I would definitely call Raynetta and highly recommend her to our friends and family.

Raynetta was very helpful in selling my condo, found a buyer just hours after I listed with her.

If you are looking for a realtor to help you buy or sell I strongly recommend Raynetta.

We met Raynetta of Five Star Real Estate a year ago, when first looking for a home. She stuck it out with us all the way. This year even through the pandemic, she and her team made sure our home buying experience was as smooth and safe for all involved. We loved this. They all had great communication with us and each other, through email, and Zoom, making sure every I was dotted and T was crossed until our final stage of the home buying process. We highly recommend Raynetta and Five Star for your home buying process. You won't meet a more reliable and caring person to work with. Thanks Raynetta and Five Star, for helping us achieve our home buying dream!

Raynetta did a pre-listing walk-through and gave us suggestions that helped maximize our curb appeal, as well as tips on interior upgrades to reflect today's styles and colors. She walked us through a myriad of documents required for the sale. We had a buyer within 12 hours of publishing the listing. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she constantly kept us updated with progress reports. Raynetta is a superb real estate salesperson!

I am very appreciative of Raynetta Praest as my realtor. Raynetta is professional and personal approach. I had rare and stressful circumstances in selling and buying my homes.

I would highly recommend Raynetta as your realtor and would call on her in the future first!

We had a great experience with Raynetta. She gave awesome advice and input on selling our home. We had no issues what so ever with the sale. She worked hard for us and held open houses. She followed up with the people who came to the open houses and also with the realtors that showed the house. Feedback was always prompt and if we had questions, Raynetta got back to us right away. It was wonderful working with someone you can trust. Great work ethic!! Our house sold quickly.

Raynetta is awesome! She will give you her professional opinion on a property and not just to make a sale. She will let you know both the good and bad about a place so that you make the right decision in the end for you. She is super knowledgeable about what she does and very patient with any questions you have.

Raynetta, Shelly and I are so grateful to you for the quality of service that we received. For those who sell homes, it has been a few weeks to a few months, unlike our journey from a market analysis and waiting (perseverance and patience) for us to list. Your approach to listing and advertising was different than we had seen in thirty years, but obviously it worked. We were so pleased with your honesty and absence of 'bragging bluster.' Thank your for walking with from the listing to the closing and never 'leaving it all up to us.' We wish you the best in the future, and are grateful for our relation in recent months.

Raynetta far exceeded our expectations for a realtor. My husband and I began working with her in 2015, but didn't buy a house until November 2017. Even though we had her showing us houses off an on for 2 years we never once felt rushed to make a decision or purchase a home - she was always patient and understanding and it was clear her only goal was for us to be happy and have peace of mind. Immediately upon meeting her she made us feel comfortable and showed us that she really cared for us as more than just clients. I would highly, highly recommend working with her... it will be the best and smoothest experience ever!
"
- Jared & Anna

Raynetta was a very knowledgeable Realtor that treated us professionally and courteously. She is attentive to your wish list in a new home and helps find that perfect home! She is very quick to respond to your calls or texts but is not pushy in getting you to buy a house Raynetta lets the house sell itself to you! Raynetta is a true professional in her field!
