Mary Lou's Team did an outstanding job for our family! There was constant (consistent) communication throughout the entire process; they listened and went above and beyond expectations. We found them to be professional, diligent and reliable. Our home was listed and an Open House scheduled within one week of our initial meeting. We received multiple offers on our home and the entire process - from listing, accepting a contract, to final closing was completed in just over a month. We couldn't have been more pleased or grateful for the service that they provided. They were a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them!

I absolutely loved working with Mary Lou's Team. Chris and the rest of the team were incredibly flexible with my wife and I when looking for a house in Alabama. We were moving from Idaho, and he picked us up from our hotel and had a long list of houses for us to check out when we arrived. It really was incredible! Easiest 5 star review I've given!

Mary Lou, Chris and Deborah are truly a one of a kind team. My wife and I are both in our 80s and health issues required the sale of our home as we are unable to to maintain the home to our usual standard. From the first discussion to final arrangements to close, the team members have been available to assist with every phase of the sale and moving to our new Adult Living Community. They truly live out their Christian values in their business as well as their personal lives. Thank you Mary Lou, Chris and Deborah. GOD BLESS YOU! B&B

Chris, MaryLou & Deborah are an amazing team. They are patient, encouraging and wise about the area. They never made me feel like my questions or concerns were silly and they listened and understood what was on my checklist. They are in tune with the real estate market so much that they helped us negotiate a fair contract and get to closing seamlessly. Their commitment to superior customer service is exceptional and uncommon in the industry. They are simply the best in the business.

I'm considering selling my home. Chris was kind enough to come to look at my home and make recommendations as well as talk with me concerning possibilities about whether or not to do certain remodels or sell as is. He and Mary Lou are so considerate and keep me updated on homes selling in my area. I felt they were trustworthy and caring about my wellbeing. I would use them to handle the sell of my home as well as assist me in purchasing a home.

They have exceptional market knowledge, and are able to help you make the most informed decisions possible while purchasing or selling your home. They are authentic, and honest. They were always prepared and prompt while answering any questions we had, and making sure to explain everything so we felt secure during the process. Their communication is unparalleled. We truly experienced how much they care about their clients! This team is so organized and never missed a thing. We are so grateful to them.

Always a fantastic experience working with Chris Vonderau at Mary Lou's team. He was the buyers agent for both of my daughters on their house purchases. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality agent in the Birmingham area.

I met Chris Vonderau when he sold me my first home 28 years ago. I was just out of college and he made me feel at ease every step of the way. Years later I relocated and Chris and Mary Lou's team helped me sell quickly, listed and sold in one week. What I didn't know is Chris set the bar for a standard I would not see until I was fortunate enough to work with him again! Our family sold our home and had 3 weeks to find a new one. Chris immediately set his attention to showing us as many homes as we could in a very short window and we found our home within days. What could be a stressful time was fun and guess what, I was made to feel at ease! Chris treats his clients like family and his honesty and integrity is evident every step of the process including researching lenders and other contractors needed. I highly recommend Mary Lou's team for making selling or buying a home a fun thing! Chris Vonderau still sets the bar all these years later!

Mrs. Mary Lou and Mr. Chris were an absolutely pleasure to work with. After a long 6 months of struggling to find a buyer for my home, they gave it their all and communicated with me every step of the way. They kept my budget as close as they could and gave me updates as soon as they had any. I leaned on Chris like he was my father helping me sell my home, and he delivered to the best of his ability. Thank you very much to Mary Lou’s team!

Let me be completely upfront and honest about our dealings with Gene and Mary Lou Vonderau. First of all, we have known each other for several years as we are all members of the same Sunday School class. Secondly, we did not sell or buy any real estate. On January 16, 2016, we had a house fire. It didn't completely burn, but it would call for the complete gutting of the interior walls and roof replacement. We would be out of the house for at least 6 months. Initially, our insurance was putting us up in a nearby hotel, but then Mary Lou and Gene offered one of the houses that they had on the market, for us to move into while our house was being rebuilt. We moved into a very nice home in Helena, the insurance rented furniture for us for the duration, and a very worrying situation became almost pleasant. They didn't have to do it, and no one would have thought anything about it if they hadn't of giving us such a great opportunity, but they did do it, and they will always be in our thoughts and prayers. Oh, BTW, we aren't the only ones that have benefitted from the Vonderau's large hearts, but I'll let others tell their own stories.
