"We can't thank John enough for walking us through the process of purchasing our very first home. There is no one who knows the Elizabethtown market better! John showed us a few properties, then opened up our minds to building, which we never thought of - but are so glad we did! John gave us sound advice throughout every step of the process. He truly has your best interest at heart and knows how to put your mind at ease. John went above and beyond for us, even giving us suggestions on where to purchase and place a mailbox, lamp post, and framed mirrors for our bathrooms. He served as a great resource in communicating with our builder and our lender to ensure we got exactly what we wanted/needed. We appreciated John's positivity, humor and energy, and we would highly recommend him."

"We used John to buy our new home in Hershey, PA. We are moving from Oklahoma City and have incredibly busy schedules. John helped us find exactly what we were looking for through FaceTime, videos, and photos. He knew the market and the area really well. He went above and beyond when it came to every aspect of buying a house since we are not in the area. I couldn’t recommend him more!"

"I rarely write reviews. Everything is ‘amazing’ or ‘wonderful’ these days and that blurs the lines between what is outstanding and what is simply the norm, or just average, to the point that one rarely bothers to read them anymore. However, our experience over the last six months compelled me to write, for no other reason than it is such a rare occasion that one receives the kind of service, support, and professionalism that John Smith provided us across the extended COVID-19 period. Thank you to Michele – you really are amazing and truly wonderful. (and I don’t say that lightly)."

"Friendly and very helpful. Always there to assist you whenever you need it. I believe they went beyond the limits to assist us in our search. The whole staff was there for my husband and me. They were always there with us with the builder, and we all worked together to build our forever home. John’s staff were also there at times when John was out of town. If they did not know the answer, they would get in touch with John or the builder. I would, without a doubt, work with them again and also recommend them to anyone."

"Fantastic realtors and even friendly people. We were new to the area at first, and thankfully, we had John who knows the area very well, and was able to show us wonderful homes.

"John is truly the best of the best. I was very indecisive about what I was looking for or what I wanted, but he was patient and helped me look at multiple properties that each had something different to offer. With each property, he asked questions and tried to help me visualize myself in each space without pressuring me into a sale. He knows the Lancaster area inside and out, eventually helping me find the perfect fit me. John is honest and a man of integrity, and will be the only realtor I’d go back to."

He and his team were remarkable for their responsiveness and professionalism. We had a unique situation, and John was able to connect us with buyers within a week without a public listing. John listened carefully to our concerns and needs, and his team kept us informed throughout the weeks leading to settlement. When we are ready to sell our next home, we hope John is still available to represent us."

"I have been house searching for a long time with no immediate intent to sell my current home, but I was suggested to talk to Nate Shelly about the process to see if moving would be in the cards for my husband and me. What I can say is that having Nate reach out to me is the best decision I have made in a very long time. Nate made suggestions that could help us sell our 2-bedroom house, which isn’t the easiest thing to sell, and we were able to sell our home the following day after it had been listed with multiple offers above asking. Nate is always responsive and works with you every step of the way. I could not have asked for a better experience. We found our dream home with ease thanks to Nate Shelly from John Smith Realty."

She was always there for us during this process. Always professional. Always personal. Always a joy to work with!
Then when we had delays because of required repairs on the house we were selling in NJ, she assured the seller that we were going buy and to be patient with us. 5 stars is not a high enough rating!"
