Stephen handled our house sale in a timely manner. Makes the sale a lot easier than trying to sell it yourself. I would recommend Adam Merrick to everyone.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐I was selling a house in Peoria; however, I live in DC. Stephen Bogart made this transaction flow seamlessly. Thank you so much for all the assistance, support, professionalism and expertise!

The Merrick Team has been and continues to help me with the process of selling my home. I'm very grateful for their help. My house sold within three weeks. Will post more once the closing is complete :)Update: The closing went smoothly. I'm very happy I chose them to help me with the sale of my house. They definitely know what they're doing! I would recommend them for anyone looking to sell their home.

Hi there, I’m Kaylee Jones, your friendly and dedicated Buyer’s Specialist here at the Adam Merrick Team. I've always had a genuine passion for assisting others and it's what led me to pursue a career in real estate.
Before obtaining my license, I had the privilege of working as an inside sales agent with Adam Merrick himself. This invaluable experience equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the real estate industry. Witnessing firsthand the joy that our team brings to our clients' faces and helping them turn their dreams into reality is what drives me each day.
Outside of work, you'll find me cherishing moments with my husband, two adorable children, and our beloved pup, Jax. We're all about quality family time, as my daughter fondly puts it “flamily time,” and we prioritize faith, family, and lending a helping hand to others.
I feel incredibly honored to be a part of this amazing team and I can't wait to embark on this exciting journey of finding your dream home together!
