“It was a true pleasure to work with Staci Mildenstein and Sarah Monceaux! They helped me and my husband find our dream home at Lake Monticello! They were so responsive, communicative, and attentive. They were very competent, professional, and pleasant. They even noted items in the home inspection that we missed and helped us address them. They were so helpful throughout the whole process of buying our dream home! I highly recommend them as a team and individually! Many thanks to Staci, Sarah, and Avenue Realty!”

“Jenny DeBell was amazing at helping with the purchase of our new construction, managing and attending meetings with us and the builder, and a real advocate for our side of the purchase. She was also our realtor for the sale of our prior residence, and brought knowledge of trades people for us to hire for fixes needed to put our residence on the market. She found a great photographer for our listing photos, and we had a full price contract within the first week on the market. I can't imagine having a more responsive and helpful realtor - both transactions were extremely easy and successful for us, and we give full credit to Jenny.”
