Testimonials
Riverbend Realty Group strives to ensure client satisfaction.
Dave Strassman was extremely helpful and attentive given a very short time window to purchase a home. He responded to my request immediately and worked constantly to present and show numerous properties. Not being from the area, it was critical that I had someone trustworthy working on my behalf. Dave Strassman was that person.

Dave helped us buy a great place where the competition was stiff...meaning there were several showings on the same day. Dave had several creative suggestions to ensure that we got the home that we wanted. He was very enthusiastic about the property and was very responsive to our questions and was quick to answer phone calls. He is personable and easy to work with.

Riverbend was a joy to work with during our first home buying experience. They were patient, attentive, and was able to answer all of our questions about the process and even made sure to bring up points we hadn't considered. If you're looking to take some of the stress out of home buying, I would strongly recommend talking with Riverbend!

We worked with Dave to buy our 'forever' house. He took the time to show us many homes. We never felt pressured from Dave and felt he was very knowledgeable of the area. He understood our family’s needs and worked hard to meet those needs the best he could. I felt Dave was always available to answer questions that arose during our search. Working with Dave made our search enjoyable as well as stress free. I would and will recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

We just bought our first home with her. She made everything seem very easy and simple for us. Candice was very nice and was able to answer any questions we had. We moved to a different town, but it was great that she filled us in on the area. She guided us through every step before closing.

Dave was highly recommended by a friend, and he did not disappoint! He gave us great advice regarding when to list our house. He also spent time helping us to determine what would make our house appear as great as we thought it was! Our house sold in a matter of hours, with multiple offers. We could not have asked for a smoother process. We would gladly work with him again!

We had a great experience buying our first home with Dave! He always too time to answer our questions, which was very helpful! Will definitely be using him again!

Dave was extremely helpful and available to help us find the right house and navigate the entire process. We were in no hurry to find the right house, and Dave was very patient with us while dedicating many unpaid hours over more than a year before we finally found the right place. We had to move fast and Dave worked well to get us the house and the right price and sell ours at above our asking price!

Dave did an exceptional job of listing and selling our homes, as well as helping us purchase our new home. He is very knowledgeable and always prompt and professional. Dave took time to answer our questions and to lead us through the process in a seamless and timely manner. We highly recommend Dave for your buying and selling needs.
-Linda
AMAZING!!!!! I really couldn't ask for a better realtor. Not only did Dave sell our house in 36 hours but he found us our dream home the same day. He knew the market enough to get us the best cost for both homes and was great to work with. I can’t say better things about him. I honestly feel that people who do not go with Dave are missing out!!!! For such a stressful process he made it a breeze!!! I would refer him to all of my friends and family!!!!!
-Danielle
I can't say enough good things about Candice! She is so knowledgeable and works hard for her clients. She will answer all of your questions, day or night. She is great at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone!
😠We were first time home buyers, so we knew nothing, and she walked us through everything. She is personable and will check up on you throughout the whole process. My husband and I felt like we were her only clients she was focused on, because she does such a good job. She is great at "taking care of business" and taking care of people. 
😊Highly recommend!

"The first thing I need to say is you cannot go wrong with Candice. If you need to buy or sell a house she is the person. I was very impressed with her responsiveness. If you have a question she replies 7 days a week. She went way out of her to please my wife and I. She had excellent knowledge of the market. She thinks about all the little details that made our home purchase quick and easy. I had 100% complete faith she was always representing our needs and desires well. She's a scrapper and was willing to do what it takes to get the job done. do not hesitate pick Candice."
