{Laura and the rest of the team were excellent in every respect. As a retired banker I have worked with many realtors over a 35 year career. Laura is one of the very best I have worked with. Any questions we had about the lake or the property, she knew the answer. When we left our tritoon boat parked on the street until closing, Laura pulled it over to their building and stored it inside. What a nice surprise and what service!!

She was easily able to answer some tough questions on the offer contract, got right back with you if you have a question during the process and very professional. Very nice and easy to work with.
Thank you Laura and Dave for selling our lake home for us.

{Dave, Laura and team at Sunset Realty were amazing to work with. We had purchased 2 homes, but never sold a home going into our sale with Sunset Realty. They were extremely friendly and helpful from their very first visit to our home all the way until the sale was finalized and closed and beyond. They offered to check on the home while we were away and were willing to do anything to help make the process easier for us. They explained their entire process to us and are extremely knowledgeable about the local market. I would highly recommend Sunset Realty to anyone in the Lake Panorama and surrounding areas in Guthrie County.

{Our buying and selling process with Sunset Realty was better than I would have anticipated! Both Dave and Laura were very communicative about every detail and I never had to wonder where we were or what was going on during the process of both buying and selling. What very easily could have been an overwhelming experience, was the complete opposite of that. We always felt very confident in their abilities and knew we were in good hands.

{Angie and Sunset Realty were outstanding! A couple years ago, we shared our vision for a home with Angie and she was very patient in helping us find the right fit. We never once felt pressured to make a decision. When we did find the right home, she was so accommodating in helping make that transition seamless. Thank you for making a big life decision so easy.

{We can't thank Dave Wagler and the staff at Sunset Realty enough for all their professionalism and guidance throughout the entire process of buying our home at Lake Panorama. Sunset Realty knows the rules and guidelines of the Lake Panorama Association. Dave was able to provide us with valuable information on the market of homes in the area. His goal was to guide us through making the best decision for our family. We never felt any pressure during our buying process, only helpful and genuine advice. Buying a home can be challenging at times but Dave's professional integrity and expertise pulled us through and we couldn't be happier. Thanks Dave and Sunset Realty!☀️

{My wife and I have bought and sold our lake home with Dave and Laura. I'm actually in the mortgage business, so picking a Realtor can be a little tricky (I know a lot of amazing agents!) -- but when it came to picking someone at Lake Panorama, the choice was obvious.
Dave and Laura know the lake extremely well, they always seem to know what's coming on the market (before it hits, so you have a HUGE advantage working with them), they have a buyer's list of people actively looking for homes (so they were an easy choice to list with, you'll probably have showings lined up before you even list, we did).
I just knew that they'd be the best option at the lake. And, it proved to be true.
I first engaged with Dave on getting a market value, just because I was curious how things were looking after some renovations we'd completed.
He came back with a really detailed explanation of what he thought the current market value was -- and, gave a really clear path on how he arrived at the number. It was more than I would've anticipated, but the data made me feel good about it -- and, eventually decide to list it for sale.
Once we decided to do it we just wanted to get it done and the process moved very quickly (I got the impression they'd move at whatever speed we wanted though -- like, zero pressure).
Once we listed, we quickly found ourselves in a situation I personally hate to see happen, with dual agency.
Laura ended up bringing a buyer, and Dave helped us as sellers. I've seen this implode many times in my career. However, the way Dave and Laura handled it was extremely impressive (and I'm pretty high maintenance). It became clear they've had it come up many times before -- and I think they did an incredible job of maintaining confidentiality throughout negotiations and even through closing.
I wouldn't hesitate recommending them to others -- have already told a friend that was considering selling their lake home they should call them first.
To be clear, there are many great Realtors out there. But when it comes to buying/selling homes on the lake, I think Dave and Laura are the obvious option. They're full-time agents. They're local. Also important with a second home, they know everyone, so you won't be wondering who to call to do anything.
So glad we worked with them. Highly recommend you at least talk to them if you're looking at buying or selling at the lake.
(And, shout-out to Angie. who is also great, helping behind the scenes!)

Dave was excellent. He was professional at all times and offered a combination of objective and subjective information as needed. Dave was well-versed on all parameters of the real estate market and provided guidance -- but was never pushy -- to assist in our decision to buy a home on the lake. I would highly recommend Dave and Sunset Realty to anyone considering the purchase or sale of a lake home. He is fantastic. Joe

{Laura and Dave provided us with excellent guidance from the first moment we contacted them to list our home. It wasn't easy to leave our home of 25 years, or the idyllic setting of Lake Panorama. However, Laura and Dave took the pain out of listing and selling our home, which made the entire process quicker and less stressful. We're grateful to have had the Sunset Realty team as our realtors!

{We were long haulers, we looked for our perfect lake home for three years and Sunset Realty stuck with us the whole time. They were flexible with schedules, understandable when we weren't interested, and good to keep communication lines open the whole time. When we found the right place they made offer and closing convenient and even fun! You can't go wrong!

Laura and her partner, Dave, and office manager, Angie, were all very helpful and responsive, and are clearly a great team of real estate professionals who work together to make sure their clients are being taken care of. They know their stuff and make you feel like you're in good hands!

We had several items we wanted to negotiate on the home we were purchasing and she made it all happen. She worked with us to find the right home for us even with an extremely fast paced market! We appreciate all Laura and Sunset Realty did for us!

{When we made the decision to sell our home of over 47 years we had no idea where to start. I made a call to Laura. She came and walked us thru what the process would be. Within a few days the sign went up in the front yard and the showings began. Our patience was tested but Laura and Dave were great to calm our anxiety. They were always available by text, a phone call or to do a quick meeting with us. Our home sold and we couldn't be happier!! Dave and Laura were the best and would recommend them to anyone especially to first time sellers like we were!!

Late Spring, a house came on the market. It met our specifications, so we called Laura. She scheduled a showing for us, that very day. We had a fully executed Purchase Agreement, within 24 hours. We wanted to close, as soon as possible. Laura facilitated the closing, in 6 weeks. The whole process was smooth, we could not be any happier. Laura is friendly and professional. She knows the market and has the experience needed to do the job well. We highly recommend Laura and the team at Sunset Realty.

{We worked with Laura to buy our first lake house on Panorama and she was awesome! She professionally helped us navigate a very difficult situation when an inspection fell through and the seller was unwilling to acknowledge issues. Laura kept us looking forward and we could not be happier with the end result and the new house we secured. I would recommend Laura and the Sunset Realty team to anyone looking on Lake Panorama...no one knows the lake or area better! We've bought other houses in the past and this was by far our best realty experience. Thanks again, Laura!
