Client Experience Is Our First Priority
I don’t like realtors but I like Matt. I really ought to leave him three five-star reviews, because he helped me buy and sell my last home and buy my new home. He works hard, even showing me a house on a holiday. (Which was rude of me, sorry Matt!) He was always honest and advocated for me. You could not ask for a better realtor. Go with these people, you’ll probably be disappointed if you choose somebody else.

Hands down, the Bearded Realtor is the best of the best in Lancaster county. Matt Koch got our house on the market within our quick timeline and Brittany Fellin found us amazing homes to tour. Highly recommend this team! House went above asking and we had multiple offers within a few days. Their high quality videos they produce in order to advertise the home is par to none.

Brittany Fellin was an integral part of the success in selling my property. I will be working with her again and recommending everyone I know to work with her as well!

Working with Carissa and Brittany was wonderful! I trusted their insight into how to best improve, stage, and list our home. They were 100% right because it sold the first weekend at a price MUCH
higher than asking. We couldn’t believe it! Our house is now the highest selling in the history of our neighborhood. The time from accepting the offer through settlement was smooth and stress-free.
THANK YOU!!!!

We worked with Bety Pena and recommend her 1000%! She was so attentive and encouraging. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and she was always there with an answer. She went above
and beyond for us and we appreciate her so much. She even spent a whole Saturday working with us and the lender to try to submit a last-minute offer. She gave great recommendations and was always
there whenever we needed her. We couldn’t have done the home buying process without her! 🙂

My wife and I could not be more impressed with Bety and the rest of the Koch-Garpstas Team. This is our first home and the process from start to finish was so smooth we were actually waiting for
something to pop up, but nothing ever did.
My wife and I wanted to take a look at house( the first house we looked at) and when we shot them a message they let us know appointments were supposed to be over already but they would make some calls. Carissa called back quickly and gave us a time to meet Bety there.
We walked through the house moments after meeting Bety for the first time and we knew we wanted the house. We know there were other offers and this would be competitive. Bety gave us sage advice on how we can best shape our offer to make sure we got the home we wanted, and a few hours later our offer was accepted. First home, first offer and we were done. This is an astonishing feat for any realtor especially in this market.
Even beyond just their staff this team also has great vendors in place. Everyone both inside and outside of their operation was on top of every detail from start to finish.
All of this to say we cannot recommend this team enough and we are so thankful for making this process so easy.

The Koch Garpstas Realty Group was so wonderful in helping us sell our home! Matt was on top of every single detail and his team kept us informed and kept the process moving smoothly. Selling in
this market right now is so hectic, and the Koch Garpstas team got us a great offer within two days time! We truly valued their expertise and could not recommend them highly enough. Whether you’re
a first time home buyer or seasoned, the KG team should be your top choice for buying or selling your home!

We worked with Bety Pena and she was outstanding! We met her on February 25 and we closed on our new house March 28. She was supportive and available throughout our showings, offers and closing.
Highly recommend.

NEW REVIEW
When my wife and I decided it was time to start looking into selling/ buying our new home, we thought it was going to be a long, tough process due to the current market, but only ended up being a
short month and a half process. After we went under contract on our new home, before we could blink, we were under contract on our old home. It was all possible because of the quick work, great communication,
and awesome teamwork from the Koch-Garpstas Team. The day before settlement for both homes, Matt let us know he was in the hospital, lined up Carissa to sit in on both settlements, and was even texting
with us from the hospital to make sure everything was executed properly – If you have read this far in this review – why would you even consider anyone else!?! Thanks again

Carissa Garpstas is an experienced, professional, and caring realtor who helped us with purchasing our first home in Lancaster County. She is incredibly knowledgeable and responsive to her clients
needs. It is no wonder that we sought her service again when helping a family member purchase a home. I give her my highest recommendation!

NEW REVIEW
I bought one house and sold another with Carissa Garpstas and can’t say enough good things about her. She was responsive and honest, she listened to what we were really looking for when we were buying,
and gave great advice about high impact projects to do when we were preparing to sell. She’s smart and savvy about the market and does none of the smarmy high pressure sales tactics. She’s also just
a pleasure to relate to: warm, genuine, and empathetic. I’d use her again as a realtor in a heartbeat.

Matt made searching for a home & selling a home SO easy in this crazy market! He was available at the drop of a hat to show us houses, he knew exactly what we needed to put in our offers, and was on top of finding us houses that had everything we wanted! Both houses we put offers in on were accepted, largely because of Matt’s expertise. Highly recommend working with him & Koch Garpstas Realty Group!
Lauren Jefferson
What can I say, Matt is the guy you want on your side with any of your real estate needs. Buying, selling, investing… his knowledge knows no bounds! He will work hard not just with you, but for you, to find you not just a house but your home. Working with him was like working with a friend, so personable. Sometimes working with him was even like working with a therapist, cause we all know that this market is tough! But there was never a point where we didn’t feel like he wasn’t by our sides through it all; to guide, to support, to listen. We will be forever grateful for him for helping us find our forever home. He truly is a gem in the real estate market!

Great experience with Kristina Miller — a true gem in the realty world. We were new to the area and trying to purchase in a very challenging market. Kristina took her time to get to know us, understand our needs, and most importantly — was patient as we worked to find our perfect house. Highly recommend Kristina and the Koch-Garpstas team!
