Testimonials


 

Just a few words form my growing list of satisfied clients ...... 

 --------------------------------------- 

I would like to start by saying that I am no friend to Realtors. I have had several bad experiences with them while living in NY and while here in WV. I am very demanding of a Realtor's time and patience. However since October, there has been one Realtor who has completely changed my mind on the subject. I would say that the Keller Williams company is extremely fortunate to have Howard Kronthal on their team. His work ethic, knowledge of the market, time management and personality put him head and shoulders above his competition. He is a shining example of what a Realtor should be and I can say from speaking to his past clients that my experience is not an isolated one. He is always there with a smile on his face.

Another unique quality that Howard Possesses is that he is willing to actually represent his clients and their interests. We have taken several chances submitting offers that could be considered extremely low on several properties. I have never met a Realtor who hasn't tried to talk me into offering more, until now. Howard lets me offer what I am comfortable with. He never flinched when I went from wanting a house to looking at building lots, even though his commission would be considerably lower. 

Howard Kronthal has set himself apart by his work ethic and professionalism. I am in the Air Force and we have 3 core values. Integrity, Excellence in all we do, and Service before self. I would say that one of the best examples of those values that I have seen in my 12 years of service is Howard Kronthal. Although I know I am not his only client, he has made me feel like I am, and that is priceless. He will be the only Realtor I use and recommend, as long as he is in the business. 

Thank you for your time and thank you for changing my opinion about Realtors.

When Chuck and I decided to move back to the East Coast from Texas we were not sure where to turn or who to call. We knew we wanted to live in WV but we weren’t 100%, and since Keller Williams had an outstanding reputation and seemed to be the leaders in Real Estate for MD, VA and WV, we gave them a call. Howard was our realtor and how lucky were we!

We could not afford to fly back and forth from Texas to house shop (yes sounds crazy) so Howard hooked us up via the internet, and made the personal visits to the homes we picked out online. He connected us to a fabulous loan officer who quickly got the ball rolling.

While we were waiting for papers to process etc, Howard ALWAYS phoned us even if it was just to  “Check In” and see if we had any questions etc. I don’t think I ever made a call to him, he always beat me to it.

Within a couple of months we were living back East and couldn’t be happier. Working with him and his company was a fabulous experience and made our move from Texas a stress free event. I will always refer him to my friends, family and Co-workers”.

We recently purchased a "sold as is" home with Howard as our real estate agent. The home was listed with a different agent. Howard's perspective and insight was very helpful and valuable in the negotiation process.  He responded to our requests for information in a timely manner.  He was always courteous and polite.  We would happily contact him again as an agent with any future real estate transactions.

My occupation requires extreme candor and integrity.  Two things of which I also hold in high regard in my personal life.  Howard Kronthal was highly recommended to my family by a close family friend.  After several meetings with sufficient realtors Howard was a breath of fresh air.  Howard has drive, energy, and ambition but above that he truly cares for the average homeowner.  This was my family's first home and thus the first opportunity to sell a house.  Howard was considerate of our lack of experience and walked us through the entire process (and of course the house).  Howard's requests of us were simple, direct, and straight forward.  Available does not begin to describe how easy it was to contact him whether by phone, text message, or e-mail.  Howard embodies the character of what everyone hopes for in a realtor with his knowledge of the market, helpful suggestions to market the home for sale, and the ease in which he works making it seem effortless for him creates a calm for you and your family as you enter the world of realty.  When all was said and done we still received continuous contact from Howard to make sure we were satisfied and to answer any future questions should we think of any.  We were so pleased with the manner in which we were cared for I passed his business cards around my office.
Just another satisfied customer,

The service and personal attention we received from Howard Kronthal from Keller Williams Realty was exceptional from a Realtor! His knowledge of the local real estate market and his contacts in the community helped us sell our home during a difficult time in the real estate market. He assisted us in reviewing offers to make sure we got the best offer for our home!

Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend Howard Kronthal from Keller Williams Realty to help you in this life changing event. We could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide us through this process.

I was a first time home buyer and I was 22. Howard helped me very much by getting me into every house I wanted to looked at and gave me a lot of real estate knowledge. Howard is reliable and will tell  you the truth and do anything he can to help you. His knowledge is great and knows how to work with the other party to get the best deal out of it and at the same time he makes it easy for you.

I want to acknowledge the outstanding service Mr. Howard Kronthal provided my wife and me during our government relocation to Kansas City, MO.  After interviewing several outstanding agents, Howard stood out as the best.....We strongly recommend Howard Kronthal as a listing agent for anyone selling his or her house in the Northern Virginia area.  Howard worked diligently in marking and selling our home.  We truly appreciate his efforts.

Howard was referred to us by friends in Northern Virginia a few months before we were to re-locate from San Diego.  Little did we know moving to Virginia would be such a daunting process that would include countless open houses, bidding wars and escalation clauses. We eventually postponed our search only to wind up renting from the worst landlords on the planet.  All the while, Howard kept us apprised of what was taking place in the market, letting us know that he was in our corner and still there to assist with any real estate needs we might have.  We  renewed our search and just before our lease ended, we closed on a great town home just twelve doors down from place we were renting. 

 

Howard takes a no-pressure approach (as we told him up front that we really wanted no pressure).  He's patient, thoughtful, kind and full of great tips and advice.  Howard really knows how to listen.  He can help people achieve their goal to own a home no matter what the conditions of the market happen to be.

 

Howard returned our queries and e-mails in a very timely fashion and helped us to learn a lot about the market as well as home sales in the area.

 

Very professional, attentive, and dedicated, Howard, himself, knows how to invest in real estate as well as how to find what's right for his clients.  He will allow his clients, (as he allowed us) to have the space to get to know a property without getting in the way with lots of noise.

After almost a year of searching, we recently purchased our first home with the help of Howard Kronthal, our real estate agent. Many of our criteria changed throughout the process yet Howard remained patient, proactive and always available.  He was prepared to answer any of our questions and constantly drew from his experience to guide us throughout the process. As first time home owners, having a trusted agent to help us through each step, in the end, made all the difference.
