Confused by the buying or selling process?

“As first time home buyers, we are so grateful for Mike Van Cleve and Lexie Kaestler! From the very beginning of our home search, they were so patient with us as we looked at lots of properties until we found the one for us. They answered all of our questions throughout the process, they got us (many!) showings scheduled very promptly, and we were so happy with how our experience went with working with them over the past several months. We had to take our new baby with us to every single showing, and Mike and Lexie were super flexible with us and our schedule! We never felt any pressure to buy, and genuinely felt they both were so honest with us during showings, pointed out things we didn’t think of, and were so helpful during the offer/buying process. We plan to move again in a few years, and when we do we will absolutely be calling up the Mike Van Cleve team!”

“We can't thank Mike and his team enough! We moved to Peoria from out of state and Mike's knowledge of the area was essential to finding our new home. Our experience was great, communication was quick, showings done at a moments notice. We really appreciate how much Mike and his team helped us, we would not have had a better experience if we had gone with anyone else.”

“Thank you so much for everything you did to help us sell our home. From start to finish, you were always there to answer our questions, keep us informed, & make the whole process feel much less overwhelming. We always felt like you genuinely cared about us, not just the sale. Your hard work, honesty, & dedication meant a lot to us, & we're so grateful for everything you did. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor & would highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“Mike, Jacob, Hanna, and the entire team went above and beyond our expectations when selling our rental property. I was thrilled when they suggested the asking price, and even more excited when they got it! We hit a snag during the process because of one of the buyers, but Jacob handled everything with professionalism and confidence. I found myself saying, "I'll do whatever you think is best," because I trusted their expertise completely. Looking back, I can't imagine navigating that situation without their guidance. Communication was outstanding from start to finish. They kept us informed every step of the way, responded quickly, and handled every detail efficiently. Thanks to their hard work and experience, our property sold for an excellent price. I can't thank them enough. If you're looking for knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy real estate professionals, I highly recommend them!”

“Our experience involved repeated communication challenges. During the purchase of our home, we frequently had to follow up multiple times to obtain basic updates. When we later prepared to list the same property, we aligned on a pricing strategy and listing timeline. However, the listing agreement we received reflected a significant reduction in the previously discussed list price without any prior discussion or explanation. The listing timeline also slipped by about two weeks despite the fact that we had reorganized schedules and made arrangements in preparation for the launch. For transactions involving major financial decisions, proactive communication and alignment are critical. Unfortunately that consistency was not our experience.”

“Mike and his team are excellent at guiding their clients in all aspects of buying or selling a home. They provide the information needed for making the best decisions in home buying.”
