Thanks again, Sally and Brad." —Jerry Keneally “I recommend using Brad Kuhns if you are interested in selling your home. He is knowledgeable, responsive, provides good advice and gets results. We sold our home in less than 30 days after listing it with Brad! He had our home listed for sale online and with a sign in front within 24 hours of getting the listing. He provided very good advice on pricing the home, educating me as to why my home was worth more or less than others on the market or recently sold. He updated me regularly on who had toured the home and the interest level expressed. He ensured that the buyers had the funds to purchase our home so as not to waste my time. You could not ask for a better agent.” —Dean Altman
