Maria Gillette is the absolute best. She went well beyond the call of duty. Very honest about telling you the good and bad about each property. In the end we found the best property for us and we are just thrilled. We feel lucky to have met her and have made a lifelong friend and honored to be part of her family.

We were first time home buyers and never dreamed we would be able to own a home, but Maria Gillette really did make a dream come true for us. She was so patient with my inquisitive nature and she made us feel so comfortable leaving things in her hands when we made an offer right before traveling. Her positive attitude and strong competency made buying our home a breeze. Highly recommend the real estate team at Building the Bluegrass and will definitely go to them again if we decide to move in the future. Thank you!

Kelly Thompson on Building The Bluegrass

First time home buyers and Maria Gillette with Building the Bluegrass was there with us every step of the way. We learned so much through the process and we were so grateful to have Maria’s expertise. She was a wonderful guide and always available to show us new homes, answer any questions and envision new possibilities. She was a steady presence that allowed us to explore and when we found the right one she made the entire closing process so easy and fun! She has so much knowledge and wisdom coupled with the ability to tell you how it is, her can-do attitude is a constant reminder that anything is possible! Vivacious and fun loving, Maria is a pleasure to work with. We found a very special home and we are very grateful she was by our side through it all!
