Reviews and Testimonials

"This house-hunting was a true odyssey -- attempting to buy a home in a pandemic in a real estate market that was anything but intuitive. Gail Carpenter was fabulous. She quickly understood what we were looking for, and went through listings daily to identify properties that might make sense for us. Our thinking evolved along the way, and Gail never grew tired of our changes in direction. In the end we found a great house - one that was nothing like what we thought we were looking for! She was recommended to us, and we would gladly recommend her to others."

"Gail was very helpful, supportive, and knowledgeable during the entire experience. She walked me through every step of the process and gave me good advice while encouraging me to make my own choices and decisions. I was very pleased with how smoothly the process of selling my house went, and I have Gail to thank for that. "

"She was professional, efficient, personable and understanding. Gail was a pleasure to work with selling my condo."

"Gail was fantastic from start to finish, even though we didn't get to spend much time searching with her for our first home. She was always available if we had any questions throughout the day, and was flexible to meet at newly discovered homes with very short notice. With her experience, Gail was able to educate us on things to look for in a house, and make us think the correct way when we found some questionable features. Going through the negotiation stages turned out to be a bit more challenging than expected, but Gail was on top of it and helped us to save a significant amount of money to pay for previously undiscovered plumbing and electrical issues. Although we only had the chance to work with her for about 2 months, I would 100% suggest anyone to choose Gail and Steve when looking for their next house."

"She was always available to answer any questions I had. Gail took the time to explain everything to me and really built a friendship. I trust her completely and would never go anywhere else."

"Gail is amazing! She listens to what is important to me and provides as much detail as requested. She really thinks about what I am interested in and need to know about a situation. I've worked with Gail 3 times now and would recommend her to anyone."

"Gail went the extra mile to make the home buying experience as easy, pain and hassle free and enjoyable as possible. She used all of her available resources to answer our questions as quickly and as accurately as possible. Moreover, it was clear that she was not just in it for the commission, but she actually cared about us and wanted us to find a place that we would be more than happy with for the years to come."

"Greatest real estate agents around Gail and Steve Carpenter. #1 agents.”

"Gail was just wonderful! She was available to us for an area that wasn't her 'home area'. Drove countless hours to see houses with us, sometimes and often at the drop of a hat. She was very professional and knowledgeable about the markets and reading people for their likes and dislikes at each house. We are very thankful we were introduced to her both personally and professionally and thank her for all of her help!!"

"Being a single father who was looking for a new home in a competitive market, I was overwhelmed with looking for a house on my own. After I had interviewed several realtors in the market I decided to let Gail and Steve help us look for a house. I did not regret that decision at all as Gail and Steve provided me with the exactly what I needed when I was making what is arguably the most stressful and complicated decision that most people make in their lifetime. Throughout the entire process Gail was attentive and provided direction when I had questions about any property. She and Steve both went out of their way to get answers to any question I had from the sellers of a property or about a property I was interested in. Additionally, Gail and Steve were both crystal clear about their part in this purchase and did everything they could to provide me with everything I needed to allow me to make a fully informed decision when I did decide to make any offer. If I were to have any friends looking in this area for a home in the future I would highly recommend using Gail and Steve to represent them as a buyer within the market based on my experience."

I wanted to take a moment to express our thanks to you for spending as much time with us as you did and being so open and honest about the area and why you chose to live there. Your passion was infectious to say the least. If anyone is on the fence about whether to move to Sussex County, spending 10 minutes with you should convince them. You are an asset to your profession.

These are people you can trust. It's that simple. They care about you and you can trust them to represent you and look out for your best interests. I worked with Gail Carpenter and her husband Steve at Active Adults Realty and they are good people, not just good at their job.

We decided to go with Active Adult Realty to assist us in our pursuit for a new home in Delaware after reading all the positive reviews. We worked closely with Steve and Gail and once they understood our requirements, pointed us to the various new communities in our preferred location. Steve and Gail were always available to answer questions, conduct site visits with us and were helpful in the buying process once we had decided on a home. Overall, pleased with the services provided and happy with our new home.
