“April of Route 63 sold my house 27% higher than what I purchased it at only five years ago. I had to do nothing but sign on the dotted line. Could not have been made easier. When the property I was purchasing needed clean up as part of a handshake agreement condition of sale, her and a family member personally spent the day filling a dumpster. The purchase had numerous unique situations and conditions and amendments were drafted within hours each time something came up. Whether you are buying or selling Route 63 is the way to go!”

She was timely, friendly, and available when we needed her. April and the staff at Route 63 are amazing. Definitely recommend!”

We have been working with her for a couple years to find the perfect spot and she was always more than willing to check things out for us since we are 3 hours away and kept us updated.

April is by far the best agent I have used, and I’ve used many. My purchase was an as is vacant land. She went beyond what I would expect of an agent. She contacted land surveyors and Forrester for me, I had no resource otherwise. I highly recommend her for any buyer out there. Whether be existing home or vacant land, especially vacant land. Excellent job April, very pleased with your extra help.

“April is a very professional realtor that goes above and beyond for her clients. April worked very diligently in doing the groundwork gathering and answering our questions, working through the mazes of purchasing our first piece of property and shortly later a second piece of property. My family can’t express enough what a wonderful experience we had working with April and how she makes you feel like family not just a client and would definitely recommend her as your future realtor!”
Debra D.
“April at Route 63 does a phenomenal job with connecting buyers to new property. She responds to questions quickly and provides truthful feedback. I was selling and buying simultaneously; April helped make that process seamless. She worked with my finance institution helping to answer questions and provide information about the new property. When my home in Brule did not sell within the two months as expected, April spoke with the builder of the new Hayward home to extend my buying window. My sale and buy went through two additional months later, and I am happy in my new home in Hayward. I would go to Route 63 for any future real estate opportunities. Without reservation, I can highly recommend April and her team at Route 63.”
Sara Ross P.

She then went out of her way to fix a problem for the new owner that I was supposed to take care of and was already out of state, so she fixed it. This lady is all about the customer.”

April was great throughout the whole process. She made everything on my end very clear and easy to handle, no miscommunication or misunderstandings. She’ll get her feet wet if she has to in order to get the job done!
Karyn B.
April was fantastic to work with! She was very friendly and helpful and walked us through the process, making it easy and smooth for us. We live out of state, so when we wanted to purchase a small vacation cabin, having April there to help us handle the entire transaction remotely really saved us a lot of back and forth as well as worry. She made us feel like she really went above and beyond and was very professional every step of the way.

April Johnson was my realtor when I purchased my property in Hayward. She was
extremely knowledgeable about the property and area. If I had any questions that
she did not have personal knowledge of, she sought out the appropriate resource,
and always got back to me with an answer. I highly recommended April as a very
professional and personable realtor!
Frequently Asked Questions
When you are entering the market to buy or sell a home, you may find yourself asking a few questions about how to get started. To help you with this, we have provided a few answers to some common questions buyers and sellers have asked us.
What should I do first when starting the home buying process?
Get in contact with a couple lenders and find out what lending products they have available. Local Banks, Credit Unions, and Mortgage Companies offer different types of loans and rates. Check to see if they are easy to contact, whether they answer questions in a timely fashion, and are easy to work with. Once you have established a relationship with your lender and provided documentation for them to give you a pre-approval letter, then you can reach out to a realtor about finding a home. Realtors also have good working relationships with lenders, so if you are interested in getting a lender referral, a Realtor may be a good place to start. Here’s a helpful guide to the entire home buying process.
What resources are available to me when searching for homes online?
There are a few great ways to search for homes online. First, check out local realtor websites to see if they have current listings on their website. You can also search using Realtor.com or Zillow.com. Both of these site engines list current homes on the market and are relatively up to date on the status of the homes. Each of the sites also provide realtor contact information or can help you connect to a local realtor in the area you choose. Secondly, if you have a realtor already, they can set you up on automatic emails so you see first-hand when a new home is listed under your specific search parameters. Realtors can also send you additional property information on any property listed on the MLS (Multiple Listing Services) platform. Getting in contact with a realtor can help make finding a home online a whole lot easier.
How do I find local realtors in specific cities?
Are you looking to relocate or do you want to see which realtors are available in your hometown? Simply search Realtors, Real Estate Offices, or Real Estate Agents in your specific or neighboring cities for a list of available real estate agents. Give them a call and see who you prefer to work with. Ask them questions about their experience, certain cities or neighborhoods you like, and about the market to get a feel for their knowledge and background. Choosing an experienced and knowledgeable realtor will hopefully make buying a home an enjoyable experience for you.
How long does it take to close on a home?
Depending on both parties involved, a cash buyer can typically close in as little as two or three weeks from the time of an accepted offer. If financing, loans usually take 30 to 60 days to close with an average of 45 days. In that time frame, a buyer can choose to have tests and inspections completed. Loan originators need time to verify your finances in order to approve you for the type of loan you have requested. Title companies need to perform and verify marketable title in order to transfer the title into your name at closing.
What should I do as a homeowner to get my home ready to sell?
One way to help achieve the best sale price for your home is to view it from a buyer’s perspective. Buyers are looking for any potential defects in the home as they walk around the outside perimeter as well as the inside of the home. They look at foundation, roof, siding, doors and windows, as well as the curb appeal. If you see anything that needs to be fixed, it is best to do repairs before your property hits the market. Inside your home, you want it to show in the best light possible. Declutter so buyers can see the space of the rooms, floors, countertops and shelves. People need to imagine themselves living there and sometimes that can be hard to do if you have a lot of personal items in your rooms. Make sure HVAC, plumbing, and electrical are in working order prior to showings as any disrepair or issues can distract someone from making an offer.
