Raving Reviews

We’ve been working with Brad and Andrea Sue at Buy Sell Build QC since 2009, and there’s a reason we’ve never looked anywhere else for real estate help in the Quad Cities. Over the years, they’ve guided us through both residential home buying and selling as well as commercial real estate investments, and every single experience has been exceptional. Brad and Andrea Sue are true professionals who understand every side of the market — from helping families find their dream homes to helping business owners secure the perfect property for growth. Their communication is always clear and consistent, their advice is grounded in real data, and they’re incredibly responsive every step of the way. Whether it’s a home for sale in Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, or Moline, or a commercial building purchase in the greater Quad Cities area, they know the market inside and out. What really stands out is how much they genuinely care. They take the time to understand your goals, your budget, and your vision — and then they make it happen. We’ve closed on multiple properties through them, and each transaction has been smooth, transparent, and handled with the highest level of integrity. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in the Quad Cities, or if you’re exploring commercial real estate opportunities, you won’t find a better team than Brad and Andrea Sue. They make what can be a stressful process feel simple, supported, and successful from start to finish. We can’t recommend Buy Sell Build QC highly enough — they’re our go-to realtors for life!

The absolute best at what they do! The Boeye’s are professional, innovative, research-driven and fun! They made selling our home so incredibly easy. We followed their plan and it sold exactly how they said it would. Over asking! This is the 6th transaction they’ve helped our family with. We’ll never use anyone else! Thank you Brad and Andrea and team!

When my Dad passed away, we knew the process of selling his house could be daunting. Like many modern families we were spread far and wide and could not be in the area the whole time. We needed someone reliable and trustworthy. Luckily our father left us a note recommending Brad and his group should we decide to sell the house. We are pleased we went with that recommendation. From the beginning, Brad was exceptional. He explained the whole process and how they could be as hands-on as we needed. He recommended steps we needed to take to prepare the house for sale. He was very knowledgeable with all the contractors and services in the area and was there to arrange quite a lot of the work as I was almost 2000 miles away. He was responsive to all our needs and paid attention to what we were saying. The Boeye Groups’ knowledge of the real estate market in the QC area was phenomenal, and they came up with an excellent marketing plan. We had plenty of interest and the house sold within a reasonable amount of time and very, very close to the recommended listing price. Brad, Andrea, Nikki and the group were very helpful throughout the negotiation process offering their professional advice. The period before closing was so easy and uneventful I felt like I was leaving something out, but the Group had it all handled. We highly recommend Brad, Andrea, Nikki and their whole team!

Our family have had the pleasure of working with Brad and Andrea for two purchases and three sales over the past several years. They are wonderful communicators and great advocates for their clients. Their social media outreach is top notch and their photography is awesome. We received asking or over on all three sales. They will forever be our Quad City realtors. Thank you Andrea and Brad for your superior service.

Loyalty

This custom presentation that I’ve shared with you is an example of the care and effort I put into each of my best clients. I recognize that real estate transactions are one of the largest financial transactions of your life and it deserves careful consideration and wise planning. In light of this, you should feel strongly that mutual respect and understanding are key components of hiring me to help you accomplish real results starting right away.

Reviewing each other’s roles and responsibilities as we embark on the next steps together is how we can decide if we are ready to move forward together.

Processes

1

Consultation

We’ll sit down together and help you determine your needs wants and goals while offering my personal industry expertise and strategies for bringing your vision to life.
Image

2

Pre-Approval

Getting pre-approved will help you know exactly what you can afford so you can confidently focus on the right homes. Plus, it shows sellers you’re serious, giving you an edge when making an offer.

3

Property tours

After you have reviewed and selected which homes you want to tour, we get to go shopping! This is where you can start figuring out what you really want in your new home.
Image

4

Write offer

Once we find the home of your dreams, we'll submit an official offer - including but not limited to sale price, inspection contingencies, and closing costs. The seller then has time to accept, reject, or counter your offer.
Image

5

Under Contract or Escrow

With your offer accepted, we enter a 30-day Escrow period. This involves a neutral third party company that holds funds while conducting a thorough underwriting process to ensure all aspects of the contract are upheld properly
Image

6

Appraisal

The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.
Image

7

Inspections

Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know what repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.
Image

8

Closing

Congratulations! You now own a home and can get moved in. It's time to celebrate and have your housewarming and show off your home. We will be standing by to answer any questions you may have about home-ownership and have a list of contractors if the need arises.
