Your Trusted Commercial Agents
As the Shaffer/ Vestweber Team heads into its second decade in the business we continue to cherish our roots and look forward to the future of real estate in our region. When you “Live-in-Our-Town” it is more than just a tag line to us. Grant, Mike and I want you to know we care deeply about the lifelong relationship we build with our clients. Each year we invest just a bit more to continuously improve what we do for our clients.
Our team approach to making sure your transaction is handled in the most professional way it can be from start to finish is our daily goal. Our team is made up of some of the very best in the business. Mike just celebrated his 50th year in real estate and our team has a combined 80 years of experience in the residential and commercial spaces. This allows us to cover all aspects for our buyer’s and seller’s in ways an individual agent is challenged to accomplish on their own.
“We typically become friends with our clients, so we end up caring a great deal for them and getting to know them well. We truly enjoy what we do and the company we work within. We genuinely want our clients to enjoy the time they spend with us. Over 85% of our business is repeat or referral business every year. We hope you are the next satisfied client to work with The Shaffer/Vestweber Team.”
