    Joe Deardurff is definitely a GEM! He was clear and precise about every step, and made sure I understood everything when selling my condo. He was always there to help or lend a hand if needed. Due to my work schedule, I was unable to let the workman in to fix a problem. He immediately, offered to be there for the repair. Looking for a professional and attentive realtor, Joe is the one.
  • Rolando Herrera
    The Crotty Group is great, I specifically worked with Christian Castro. We needed help renting out one of our units. Christian immediately got to work and we were able to secure great tenants in a short period of time. Christian is a great communicator, he does a great job of explaining all the steps in the process and he provides consistent updates. On top of that, he's a genuine guy which makes it easy to build a relationship with him. I highly recommend you work with Christian and the Crotty Group!
  • Jessica Trusty
    There are too many good things to say about Joseph DearDurff He went above any beyond to sell my mother's home. After my mom became widowed, he was extremely patient and atuned to our needs. He handled every detail and with his competitive market analysis, we got a full price offer in one day! Even being out of state sellers, he handled everything seamlessly. Joe's knowledge of the market definitely paid off and I can't recommend him enough to be your next real estate agent!
