- Some perspective. We have lived in nine states and bought and sold twelve homes. Have worked with more real estate agents than we can remember. Scott is at the top of the list. Simply fantastic. He listened and offered honest opinions. He learned what we wanted and delivered to the best of his ability. We bought the home site unseen and had complete trust in him. More importantly, when the sale concluded, Scott has continued to work wit us as we get the condo ready for winter )we are snowbirds). He helped us find an interior designed and a painter and a flooring company. He has facilitated their getting into our home to get started on the redesigns. He found us insurance agents and home security companies. Scott finds the time to talk to us weeks after we closed on the condo. Incredibly helpful person. We couldn't have asked for more.
Mr and Mrs John F
- He is very thorough in his knowledge of Real Estate. Scott took us thru several homes to find the right place. He knew the area where we wanted to move to and had all the helpful information about it. Scott knew what to expect in negotiating the contract. He also helped with getting a qualified inspector to check the house. He is very friendly and listened to our needs.

Anon - Buyer
- We knew after 5 minutes talking with Scott, he was who we needed. We have been looking for a house for over 2 years with no house. Scott was extremely knowledgeable about the area, CDD fees, and the numerous extraneous pitfalls to avoid. We are extremely grateful we found Scott at an Open House. Within 1 week we put in an offer and bought our dream home. Scott has answered every text, every call, every email in a timely manner. He has been supportive even after the sale. Thank you Scott for everything!
anon
- Scott goes the extra mile to make inquiries (especially for nervous first time home owners like us). He is always willing to view houses when it's convenient to us. I recommend to Scott to anyone for their own special home.

- Scott was an ideal choice for selling my home in North Venice. He has simple and tasteful solutions for staging unique elements of the property. The house went on the market six days before the pandemic was announced, which created several challenges moving forward. However, Scott was always positive, resourceful, creative, respectful, the ideal professional and communicator. When we ran into a couple of snags with the inspection, Scott had a wonderful repertoire of resourceful professionals who had the skills we needed in a short timeframe. And three hours after the purchase and sales agreement was signed he had found my next home. He truly is so knowledgeable about the Gulf Coast area. I couldn't have asked for more in a Real Estate agent!

- Shirley, Oh my gosh, where do I begin? You were a pleasure to deal with and went above and beyond our expected vision! You made a difficult situation almost a pleasure. If you ever need a reference, please don’t hesitate to use us. Thanks again.
Anon
- Before moving to the Cape and buying our house in East Sandwich with the help of Shirley Bahler, my husband and I owned and sold four homes. So we have worked with a fair number of realtors over the years. But we can easily say that Shirley is by far the best real estate agent we have ever had the pleasure to work with. This is even more amazing considering that we did not even know Shirley when we first started working with her. We found her through her web site…but as soon as we started talking to Shirley, we could tell there was something very special about her. Shirley took the time to truly listen to what we were looking for. She asked lots of questions and gave us honest feedback. She prepared extensively for the days she took us out to look at properties and researched every property she showed us. Because she was so organized and knowledgeable about the area, she was able to work within our time frame and price range and help us find a home in East Sandwich with deeded pond rights that is also only minutes from the ocean!
Anon
- Just a short, belated note to thank you for your professionalism and follow-through in helping us find the waterfront home we purchased this fall. As we have told you, you were the only realtor we contacted (and there were many over the past several years!) who was willing to work with us until the right place came on the market. Having had property on the Cape for 20 years, we knew the area and what we wanted pretty well. We were more interested in finding the right place than finding something right away. We had been going to open houses last winter and spring to get an idea of what was out there and met you at one of the open houses. The house you were showing was not of interest, but you talked to us and offered to put us on your e-mail list of waterfront homes. You dutifully sent us updates every week for months until the house we bought came up. We had talked to many Realtors over the years, asking them to notify us when something of interest came up and telling them we were looking for the right place and weren't in a hurry. Most, if we heard from them at all, called with a few of their own listings, and then lost interest after a few weeks and never followed through, and at least once we were disappointed to find that something that might have suited had sold without us knowing about it. You, unlike many others, showed us properties that were listed by other agencies, and informed us as soon as possibilities came up. You were the only one who did what we asked, and therefore we were more than happy to have you show us the house! As a result, we were the first people to see the house we eventually bought! You were also extremely thorough and helpful in taking us through the negotiations and closing. You even impressed our lawyer's paralegal with your attention to detail and caught some details that had been missed by us! We found you very pleasant, non-pushy and easy to work with. Thanks so much for your service. We are recommending you to some friends who are looking for Cape property and will continue to do so. Hope to see you around!
Richard and Jeanne
- Dear Shirley, Our thanks and appreciation are long overdue for the excellent job that you did in handling the sale of our former home in Centerville. Your expertise, knowledge, winning manner, integrity, positive suggestions, all add up to the winning team that you are. To the above list of sincere complements, I must add that your rapid response to all of my various phone calls and questions enhanced my already strong confident assurance that the Lord sent you our way to get the sale done and complete in such a pleasant manner.
Pastor Richard
- Shirley, Jeanie and I want to thank you for the wonderful job you did helping us find a home. You are without a doubt the most thorough and knowledgeable Realtor we have ever met. Please feel free to use us as references. Also, we will recommend you to any friends or relatives in the future.. Looking forward to seeing you socially. When I asked the sellers in an “after sale survey” what was the single most important reason they selected me to assist them in the sale of their home, they replied “Attention to detail and the amount of time and thought put into the presentation and market research. It made it very easy to comprehend the correct listing price.” They also said they would recommend me “in a heartbeat” and “Shirley, we all agree it was the most pleasant experience and WE thank you!"
Thank you Shirley
- Dear Shirley, Steve and I want to thank you for representing us as a buyer’s agent in our recent purchase of a home on the Cape. We had not purchased real estate in over thirty years and the process is quite different now. We appreciated the fact that you listened to our description of what we were looking for and set up viewings so that none of our time was wasted. Your knowledge of the Cape and its neighborhoods was very valuable in helping us find the right piece of property as quickly as we did. Being able to contact you anytime with questions and concerns and having you looking out for our best interest made the experience as stress free as possible. We felt that you dealt with us and our attorney professionally and promptly right through the closing and look forward to the updates you send us now on sales in our area. As you know, this was an extremely difficult time in our lives due to a death in our family and having you in our corner was very reassuring.
Steve and Pat
- Absolutely wonderful to work with Shirley Bahler, and I am saddened that we have moved out of the area and won’t likely get a chance to work with her again. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone that is looking to buy or sell on the Cape. Her compassion, patience and understanding of the cape market allowed us the ability to sell in a timely fashion and hold on to a house (out of state) that we really loved!
Anon
- We have dealt with Shirley since 2003. We would not consider anyone else. Shirley is always on point as far as pricing and marketability. She cares about her clients and works tirelessly until the property is sold. As far as we are concerned, she is the best in the business. She has found us two houses and sold three for us. We refer people to her any time someone mentions selling their home. Our {Dennis} home went on the market with 6 showings in three hours the first day and we received 3 offers and the next day another offer came in. Shirley’s strategy was spot on. She is terrific at what she does. She does her homework. Our attorney told us that we have the best realtor in the business. She said that Shirley anticipates what paperwork is needed and is always one step ahead of them. Shirley is always very knowledgeable, and she is very professional.

- Colleen went above and beyond the call of duty for this transaction!! We purchased during the Corona period and Colleen had to show us properties virtually on many occasions. Because we were out of state she had several visits she would normally not have had including letting contractors in, doing two walk thru’s virtually and giving advice. Thank you Colleen for a Job well done!
anon

- What made our experience great? Colleen!!! A true professional with a heart of gold. She did it all for us and went above and beyond to make sure our sale went smoothly for us. Even when the road got bumpy (closing date was delayed) she stayed with us and helped us with the builder!
Anon
- I communicated with Colleen 7 mo before we purchased it in Florida. We are from Northern Illinois. Colleen was also a resident in Illinois and understood our quest for looking toward warmer climate. Colleen sent new listings via email emails on a consistent basis, which made our hunt a little easier. When we arrived for the winter she was very helpful in locating various listings that we might be interested in. After a short search we decided on a new build. Colleen held our hands the entire way
Anon
- Colleen’s personality is so friendly and she made us feel comfortable right away. Even when we got overwhelmed and completely changed gears from looking at houses to condos, Colleen never waivered from being patient and supportive. She listened to us and quickly got a feel for what we were looking for. Her help all the way through the buying process was great, and she went above and beyond with the final details and closing since we were back in NY.
Anon
- Colleen was proactive and responsive throughout the process - professional, and always pleasant and helpful,
Anon
- Colleen handled us with extreme patience while we slowly decided what type of house and what what location we would like to be. Then she helped us find the perfect home for my wife and I. We were pleased with her advice throughout the buying process and would highly recommend her to any friends of ours meeting the service of a realtor. She is a gem!
Anon
- I had a lot of questions and I often asked for clarification. My emails and phone calls were immediately returned. I put off this process for a long time because I thought it would be too much work - my experience was just the opposite.
Anon
- Colleen Waldoch is an outstanding real estate agent! I was able to get a lot of work done in a short period of time with her amazing attention to detail and efficient utilization of time. She has her homework done well in advance and although she is an assertive saleswomen she never makes the client feel like they are being pushed into anything. My experience with her was a solid 10 and I know a lot about real estate. Going forward, if I have any Real estate needs, Colleen Waldoch is the one I will choose.
James Beatty, CRNA
- Colleen is honest, conscientious, hard working, excellent communicator - just a wonderful professional to work with!
Dec2019
- We can’t speak highly enough of our experience with the Colleen Waldoch team at HomeSmart. This is the second time we used Colleen and again she did not disappoint. She is always calm, listening carefully, very trustworthy, and responsive in a professional way . We received multiple offers the first day the home went on the market, thanks in large part to Colleen’s incredible work. She and her team brought in a fabulous photographer and videographer to showcase our property online which attracted serious buyers. Her team was wonderful in keeping the transaction moving along and close in a timely manner. It was truly a five star experience, and will use her and her team again in the future.

- Sabina was wonderful! My fiancé and I were first-time home buyers and we didn’t know everything about the process. Sabina was very patient with us and explained all the steps of home buying. When we found the townhome we decided to purchase, she negotiated a fair contract and price for us. We saw A LOT of places and Sabina was great about it. She really made the home buying experience a lot less stressful. My fiancé and I 100% would recommend her to anyone!

I would recommend Sabina to everyone!

- Colleen always exceeds expectations. We made 2 purchases with Colleen and as out-of-town buyers having her on our side made all the difference in the world. Excellent at communicating and following up on every detail. Much more than an agent Colleen has become a very good friend.

- Over the decades we have purchased and sold many homes. As you might imagine, the level of service we received from the various realtors has varied greatly. From the very start working with you has been exceptional. This has been the first home we have ever purchased remotely and, had it not been for you, it could have been a difficult experience. Thanks to your proactive positive guidance and actions we truly have purchased “Sunshine from Sally”. From the beginning you did all of the leg work to find our Florida dream home. When we flew in there was no time wasted because you had already visited lots of potential places that fulfilled our desires and sent us photos and critiques. You even picked us up and returned us to the airport. You narrowed the field down to a small number of top options. They were so on target that we only looked at the first two and fell in love with the first one. The purchase process was also smooth. While we sat in Indiana, you did all of the local things typically associated with buying a home for us. Home inspections, visits to take pictures in answer to questions we had, taking care of the things the finance company required, and more. We have never experienced the unheard of level of service after the sale that we have with you. Because of other commitments we have not yet been able to return to Florida to take care of a few things in our new condo like new interior paint, fixing minor air conditioning issues, and a couple other things needed to complete our vision. You volunteered to be our feet on the street and eyes on the prize by keeping a spare key and coordinating contractor access in our absence. That’s a big responsibility! Thanks to your bulldog like attention to detail, you have kept the contractors to their highest level of attention to their commitments. You are small but mighty. THANK YOU, Thank You, thank you! We so appreciate everything you have done and continue to do for us.
Anon
- Sabina was truly wonderful to work with. She was very knowledgeable, helpful and patient. I would recommend her to anyone buying and/or selling a home. We are very thankful we had her as our realtor and would work with her again!
