From the initial contact to our receiving our check Jean Schmaus was by our side. She went far beyond what was expected to help us ready the condo for sale. Garden City Realty is a first class operation.Calabash, NC
Jean Schmaus was our broker and she went far beyond what was ever expected. We had issues concerning the property that needed to be addressed. She kindly referred us to a business that could prepare the condo for sale, make all necessary repairs, and did excellent work at a fair price. Not being from the area, we could have been taken advantage of, thanks to Jean that did not happen. Jean kept us up to date on showings, advised us on pricing and was helpful and so pleasant to deal with. You are fortunate to have such a professional employee on your staff. Should we have any need for realty services in the future, rest assured that we will go to Garden City Realty and will recommend your office highly. Thank you for the wonderful service.Calabash, NC

Jean has been a longtime friend and found a home for myself and my late husband years ago. She has been actively proactive in assisting me to find a new home and we finally did. She is one of the best real estate agents I have had the pleasure to work with. This is my 4th home settlement and Jean was by far the best! I know how hard Realtors work as my dad was a Realtor who sold large farms and residential parcels. Your realty company should be proud of what Jean brings to her clients everyday!Elkton, MD

I wanted to thank the entire staff at Garden City Realty for their prompt, professional, and accurate service during our recent home purchase. In addition, the negotiation to obtain our new home into the Garden City Rental program was an important decision for us. I want to personally thank our agent, Jean Schmaus, who actually spent hundreds of hours with us since 2007, looking first at condos, then houses. I think Jean's patience in helping us achieve our dreams is what every agent should aspire to. It is what customers like us need. Her help and guidance through the process was irreplaceable to provide security and comfort to a difficult process of purchasing a home. As a new homeowner, it is often hard to decipher all the offers out on the market of companies wanting to represent our home. With a large amount of rental income already booked with the incumbent rental company, and their very attractive position as the previous company to represent our home, it was hard for us to choose Garden City because it meant they would have to 'replace' all that revenue. We had our doubts if we made the right decision. We thought it might be hard or impossible to do given the time of year. However, I am proud to say, our home has been 'on the market' for rental less than three weeks since inception with Garden City and they have successfully booked well over 50% of what was forecasted from the previous rental company. This shows me their dedication to web presence, as well as their ability to 'talk it up' when possible renters call in looking for high quality properties. I have no doubt their continued efforts combined with our home upgrades will make our place one of the best on the beach. Last but not least, the staff at Garden City Realty really listened to us during our meetings. They went beyond the sale, offering to support us in business expansion we are considering in South Carolina. This was unexpected, and just a sign of their longstanding business awareness and local presence in the market place. I would seek advice from them on ANY real estate question we have.Grafton, OH
If you truly and really want to sell your house, call Jean Schmaus.Granite Falls, NC
We bought our condo in Golf Colony 25 years ago. During that time, we became acquainted with Jean Schmaus, so when it came time to sell we naturally thought of her. During the time we owned our condo, there was an instance when our sister-in-law who was vacationing with us had a serious bicycle accident. Jean was one of the first on the scene. When she made the connection, she came to our condo, advised us of the emergency and then drove one of us to the scene. She stayed until the ambulance left and then drove me back to the condo and offered even more assistance. That made such an impression on us. We always knew she was professional and efficient, but that action showed compassion and caring as well. We live in Pennsylvania so, of course, we were a bit apprehensive about selling "long distance." Jean walked us through all of the steps, kept in touch with us weekly and at times more often. This was not a huge commission for her, but she did as much for us as she would have for any other seller. The closing went off without a hitch. Our condo was only on the market for about six months, if that. We credit her with getting it sold. Thanks, Jean for your stellar performance.Hershey, PA
Jean was the person to see. She made the whole experience easy and quick. Thank you Jean!Highland Lakes, NJ

Jean Schmaus came highly recommended by a friend of ours. Within a 30-day time period jean helped me to get up to speed on the market, had the patience to deal with all of my questions and once we both knew what I was looking for. She wasted no time in recommending that we take advantage of a very good opportunity and we successfully bid on our condo before anyone else really had a chance to see how great a deal it really was! Jean is a true professional, and we did this all remotely, from our home in Connecticut. We are looking forward to meeting her when we are there at the end of the year.Oxford, CT
