OUR Mission:

Upon meeting a new client and learning of what they are hoping to achieve by either listing their home for sale, purchasing a new home, or both, our intention as Realtors never waivers. We are "client first" Realtor's, and truly care about YOU! We strive to make your life goals possible through Real Estate, while being a supportive resource throughout the entire process. We pride ourselves in our proven track record of year after year being the #1 brokerage in closed sales within Lake Holiday, and feel confident that that is because of the relationships we build with our clients and resource partners. We want you to feel not only confident in selecting us are your Realtors because of our success within the market, but excited, hopeful, and at peace with the move you are embarking upon. 

Client Testimonials:

'"Nikki, you're going to hear this a bunch more times from us, but we so appreciate your patience and kindness with us. You truly are a pro! We were able to work through each option with zero pressure, great guidance, and at the same time neutrality. We appreciate every moment of the time you gave us!"
​- Rob & Deanne Ubert
If I had 1 word to use, “Phenomenal” Laurie went above and beyond to find my wife and I a house. She was just as committed on day 1 as she was a year and a half later when we were still looking due to my unwavering goal of finding a house in lake holiday with my budget. She was always on top of things. Very good at communicating and professional with all of our encounters. Laurie was always understanding to my wife and my needs during a time when the housing market was unfavorable to the buyer. I can’t say enough nice things about her. You can’t go wrong with Laurie.
Laurie was extremely helpful with the purchase of our lot and then with the sale of our Lake Holiday home after the completion of our construction. She was awesome. I would highly recommend Lake Holiday Homes!
Nikki, Pat and I are so happy to have picked you as our Realtor. We couldn't have picked anyone better. We are grateful for your quick responses. Also, the contractor list was a plus to help us along. YOU are exceptional and so happy you are our Realtor! 
​- Pat & Anna Doherty
Michelle helped my parents sell their home in Sandwich. It was a home they raised my brother and I in, most of our childhood, so it was bittersweet. She was kind, caring and made it an easy transaction for my parents."
​- Stephanie Casner

Michelle is the best! We dealt with two crazy buyers - like super crazy - and she handled it (and handled me through the crazy) like the pro she is! I was relieved but sad when everything was said and done - relieved the house was sold, but sad that Michelle and I wouldn’t be working together anymore!"
​-Kathy Marie

We worked with Michelle Dockendorf in 2019 when she helped us find our dream home. She is knowledgeable, professional, fun and a million other positive adjectives!"
- Pakula Family
We HIGHLY recommend having Heather as your realtor, whether you are buying OR selling your home! We used Heather for both! We rushed to put our house on the market- Heather took AMAZING photos of our home. Listed our house hours later... and within 4 hours of listing we accepted an offer way over asking price! With NO showings! her pictures and marketing made that contingency so quick! Buying in this crazy market was tough but Heather did an awesome job of responding within minutes anytime we had a question or concern. She was committed to helping us find a home with all our “must haves” and she did JUST that! She made this process so much easier and comfortable for us. Thank YOU Heather for selling our first home and finding our forever home for us. We are forever thankful for your hard word and determination!! You are the best!!!"
