Office Staff!


The office staff was amazing


From: Jackson


Bridget’s extensive knowledge of the area. She is pleasant, courteous and very helpful. She is a model for what a real estate agent should be. We traveled to the White Mountains from Virginia. Being new to the area, we were fortunate to hook up with Bridget. She educated us on the area, showed us quite a few properties and we finally settled in White Mountain Vacation Village. We’ve referred Bridget many times to friends and people we meet in the Village.


From: Schageman


From the very beginning, we felt like family with Clayton and Stephanie Crain. We were total strangers and it was a cold call for them and us and after the initial visit, we were no longer strangers. Very professional & knowledgeable.


This was our first home sale and we loved how simple Jenifer made it for us.


She most definitely did all of the hard work and sold our home fast! Jenifer Knaust was wonderful to work with and our home sale transaction couldn’t have went any better. She was excellent at explaining what was going on and fought for us to close at a fair price. She had just that right amount of contact where my wife and I felt like we knew how things were moving along without over contacting us. We truly cannot say enough good things about her and the job she accomplished for us.


Our Realtor Wendi Nelson


We felt Wendi really listened to us. She was patient, understanding, Professional and explained the process. And she didn’t give up on finding the perfect place for us to get out of the Valley of the Sun.


From Highfill

Debbie is wonderful!


We didn’t know about Mountain Retreat Realty Experts but we started looking for a cabin in the Pinetop-Lakeside area. Debbie was the first realtor to call us back out of 3 or 4 realtors. We saw a place we wanted to see and I started calling realtors attached to the listing at 7pm on a Friday night. Debbie was the first to call back. Maybe 10 minutes later. We couldn’t have been luckier because Debbie is absolutely wonderful. Mountain Retreat Realty is lucky to have her.


From: Schultz


This is the second time I have worked with Dave Bonebrake in purchasing a home and was very satisfied both times.


From: Gray


The agent Jennifer is the best, professional, always available to talk with and answer questions. My daughter and I looked for a house and bought together. We lived 4 hours away Agent Jennifer worked with us to show homes to us on a day trip. Everyone that helped with the process of buying was fantastic. We have already recommended people to contact the office when they need to buy. Highly satisfied. Jennifer was professional but made us feel like we were home and part of a family. Paperwork went very smooth. Will highly recommend.


From: M. Butler


I loved Jennifer's quick response to my text questions. Jennifer went above and beyond and helped to get things checked off my list that would have been a challenge while I was in another state. Jennifer listened to me and what I needed and helped me to sell my home quickly Jennifer was amazing! She thought of everything and helped me with getting things done and finding local contractors to help out. She helped me sell the home for what I wanted and it went smoothly even though I was out of the state for the whole process.

Dave Bonebrake was awesome. 


From: Mr. Jesperson


My son recommended Jennifer Knaus on the advice of a friend of his. I saw her at my Pinetop house last Oct. & was very impressed then. I also saw another woman realtor that weekend, but Jennifer stood out. She has been terrific all the way through this. I feel like she is my friend now. Too bad we're so far apart geographically.

After a long hot Summer in Tucson we decided to purchase a second home in the White Mountains. Stephen backed up by Stephanie, worked closely with us in a long distance situation and dealing with a hot market. They paid attention to our budget and list of "must haves". They have provided additional assistance in recommending local tradespeople and merchants to help us get settled. It had been quite some time since we purchased a home; the personnel of Mountain Retreat Realty Experts did a great job guiding us through the process.

Great Communication


Jennifer was great to work with. She kept me up to date through the whole buying process. She arranged for an electrician to come out to the house after the sale closed. Even helped me with contacting the electric company and arranging service when my computer was down. When you are new o an are and don't know who to contact it is much appreciated to have your realtor be there for you after the sale. Thank you Jennifer.

We never had a doubt that Stephanie wasn't always looking out for us. We could trust her and Angela to take care of our property and knew it was in good hands.
We had been with Stephanie for 7 years and always knew she would take care of our property and us. I have recommended her to several people will continue to do so. If we can ever return to the mountains, she's the first one we'll call to find a new home.

I won't tell you we are going to miss her because we will always keep in contact with her! Thank You so much Stephanie

Bridget is amazing.


Bridget is the best!!! Would recommend her, and already have. This is the second time I have utilized her as an agent and the fact that she is always available at the drop of a hat is the only reason I was able to purchase an amazing home in an awesome location. And her tenacity when it came to selling my property in Nutrioso was beneficial when dealing with the roadblocks we encountered along the way. Won’t use anyone else!!!


Ms. Goode


Bridget went over and beyond our expectations. She was always available right away for showing us houses that came up and so responsive at all times of the day & night in answering questions we may have had. It felt like she really loves what she does and wanted to make sure we found a house that was right for us. She even went as far as leaving us a most unexpected & thoughtful house warming gift. It was such an advantage to have someone like her in such a difficult market here on the mountain right now and we will in the future be highly recommending her to everyone !!


Mrs.Villalpando


Even tho Angela Olivas is my sister and choosing my agent was obvious, she made sure to deliver, always kept business very professional from the second we listed my property for sale, till the ending of buying a new home just after. Angela was always on top of any task, when I saw something I liked, she was quick to arrange. Angela was honest and certain to get me into a home id love, and she did just that. I’d use and recommend her to anyone in the market.

I liked that Stephanie and team were willing to learn the process of selling a Tiny Home.

Roy


I liked that Stephanie and team were willing to learn the process of selling a Tiny Home. No one had done it before and it was a learning experience for everyone. There was some challenges along the way but Stephanie stuck with it and was able to find solutions and in the end everything turned out great. I appreciated Stephanie's problem solving, very hard work ethic and her ability to get things done. We now have a process of how to sell Tiny Homes. Kudos to Stephanie for a job well done and also to her team for their hard work.

Bridget Wood


Our first contact with Bridget Wood was in Sept of 2019, when my wife and I decided to move from Vernon to Show Low. We met Bridget at the White Mountain Vacation Village sales office. After explaining our thoughts, she showed us 4 different options, and within 4 days we were under contract.

The next project was to sell our home in Vernon, Az. Again within 4 days we were under contract for the full asking price. Sidebar: She also had our neighbor’s house in Vernon under contract within a week. (they had been trying to sell for two years thru different realtors)

Jan 2023, due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to sell our home in Show Low, and move out of State. Again, Bridget handled the sale. Again Bridget did her magic, and the house was under contract in a very short time, for an agreeable price. We also had an RV Trailer lot in White Mountain Vacation Village, which she has sold for us – again from out of State.

Pros:
Knows her sales area.
Knows her product.
Knows how to present her product.
Knows how to communicate.
Keeps you informed/updated.

Cons: NONE

She has always been there for us & no requests have gone unanswered, even when we are ‘out of State.’ We are going to miss her.

Keep it up Wonder Woman !!
