Testimonials

Penny is an excellent real estate professional. What impressed us most was her immediate response to any questions we had during the home search and closing process. She consistently responded in minutes to texts, emails and phone calls and always provided us with information within a 24 hour period. We resided out of state and due to work schedules and Covid-19 guidelines, we were not able to travel to Missouri to view the homes in person. Penny provided personal virtual tours of the homes in which we were interested and once we made an offer on a home she guided us smoothly through the home inspection and closing process even though we were 750 miles away. Penny was so great at providing details, information, virtual tours and pictures that there were no surprises. In fact it felt like home on our first walk through. My husband’s career has moved us around the country and as we a result we have worked with many real estate agents and Penny has been by far the most professional, competent and pleasant agent we have worked with when purchasing a home.

~Nancy

Penny was fantastic at helping to find the perfect property for us. I told her what we were looking for and within days she called us with a property to look at. It fit every aspect of what we were wanting and we had an accepted offer the day after we sent it! She offered us updates as we went through the process and answered any questions very quickly. I highly recommend Penny Swearingin for your real estate needs.

~Julie

Penny is an awesome real estate agent. She goes above and beyond to make the home buying experience painless. We are from out of town so we greatly valued her knowledge of the area. She would take us on virtual tours when we couldn’t make it in person. What we most valued was her integrity. We gained a great agent and friend!”

~Zach and Heidi

She was very good!! Penny took control from the beginning and she didn’t stop till the end. Penny gave us an answer to every question we had, putting us at ease thru the whole process. I highly recommend Penny for all your real estate needs.

~David & Terry

“I need to tell anyone that is looking for a Realtor that Penny is the best realtor I have ever met. She did everything in her power to help us find our property. She went above and beyond what a Realtor should have to do. I would highly recommend this woman, she is the best that you could find in this area”
