Our Results Speak for Themselves
“ Quality of Service”
"As the developers of Willow Creek and White Horse Subdivisions in
Metamora, I can attest to the quality of service provided by Christine and
Steve Schauble and the entire Schauble Team. The closings all went very
smooth and error free. I definitely felt that Christine and the entire staff
looked out for our best interest.“ - Jim Schrepfer
“ Huge Perks”
“Having the moving van available was a huge perk. Also having
Brenda stage the rooms in my home was great.” – Fern Blair
“ Bottom Line”
“Bottom line, we would like to thank you and your team. When calling the office,
the staff was very friendly, and the extra trips to our house to sign papers was very
helpful. Christine even came to my parents house for a counter-offer signature.
Wow! Thanks to the team for answering all of our questions as quickly as possible
and working in a timely manner to help us secure our home.”- Brad & Tara Wilson
