Judy, Kathy and the rest of the team - Thanks for all your help and assistance and patience. We got a contract on our house in just 9 days!

You have been wonderful. Happy Holidays.

Geoff & Chickie Tobias

When my husband and I made the decision to relocate to the Lewes, DE area when we retired, it was based on having vacationed in the area for many years.  However, we knew we would need help in finding the right spot.  Kathy and team were so helpful to us in that respect.  She listened to what we wanted, identified many different alternatives to look at based on her deep experience and knowledge of the area and had great patience as we went through the decision process.  In addition, since we sold our former house sooner than expected, she found us a rental house for the interim period while we waited for our new house to be built.  We would have had great difficulty doing that ourselves in the short time frame we had. Our questions were answered quickly and we got lots of supporting information about the buying process and the area from Kathy and her team which was so helpful in making our move to the area.  The whole experience was positive and smooth from the beginning.  We are grateful and happily moved into our new home in a develpment we already love.  

Thanks, Kathy, Bill and Judy.

After we decided to retire to Coastal Delaware from Colorado, we were driving down Savannah Road, saw that colorful Active Adults Realty sign and pulled right in. Kathy, Bill and Debbie were able to help us find the house we wanted and gave us a really good feel for the area. Judy was great with taking care of our paperwork-even finding errors in the attorney's contracts and helping us save some money. We always felt that we were very important at Active Adults Realty. Thanks!

Sophie and Ted Krezel

Thanks you for all you've done for us. Peter and I had a very successful and happy trip to Lewes - lots of special people in our life to make our big dream just fall into place.

A friend of mine makes jewelry, I hope you like what I picked for you.

Linda and Peter Faerber

Thank you so much for all the extra little touches that other real estate brokers and companies do not provide. I appreciate your exceptional professionalism combined with kindness and understanding (and Bill's, too). Why anyone would go to anyone else when looking for a place in Southern Delaware or contemplating selling their place is beyond me. You also have the best office administrator (Judy) who knows the business and continues to keep me informed during this last step in the process. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Fran Schonfeld Ferrara

It is with heartfelt respect for and appreciation to you both that we write to thank you for all you did to sell our Milton home. From the moment we listed with you until the day of settlement you provided excellent customer service--which included superior knowledge of the market, an understanding and sensitivity to our personal situation, and most importantly to us, ALWAYS answering our calls and emails in a timely and helpful manner. 

When presented with a seemingly insurmountable series of circumstances (a failed septic two weeks before settlement, garage variance discovered in preparation for settlement, and sewer installation that took 8 plus months) you calmly and rationally worked to help us problem solve. Other agents might have turned their back on our situation, but your determined nature and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference in moving the deal forward. In addition, you are both incredibly compassionate people and we will not forget everything you did for us. 

As a team, you have the other agents in the region beat. Kathy’s knowledge of the market and Bill’s skills as a contractor were invaluable navigating our complicated sale and settlement. In your office, Judy competently handled the many transfer of documents seamlessly and efficiently.   We highly, highly recommend your services and would happily serve as a reference to anyone who might need one.

Melinda & Tom Huff

We recently listed and sold our home through Active Adults Realty.  Both Kathy and Bill Bell did everything they could to create a positive outcome by providing staging services, assistance with repairs when needed and being responsive to our needs.   Their support staff was most helpful as well. They are very knowledgable of the market and aware of what works and doesn't.   We wish them every success as they continue to assist people looking to buy or sell a home in Sussex County.  

Benedette & Jeff Cooper

You ... and we ... are lucky to have Judy as the Gal Friday for all our little questions, etc. She is a gem! Thank you for the great job you have done for us. We love our new home and neighborhood. It is a perfect fit for us. See you soon.

Beth & Bob Quackenbush

Pat and I feel lucky to have stumbled upon you, not only for the purchase of our new house here in Lewes, but for putting us in touch with another great realtor in Jersey.

Thank you for all your help during our 4-month adventure. both you and Judy were responsive and pleasant.

Anne French

A special Thanks to Kathy and Bill for steering us in the right direction.
Kathy found us a house in "The Retreat At Love Creek." We settled in late November 2011 and are loving life. Not a 55 and better but a wonderful active mixed community with most of us over and beyond the mid 50s...lol Cocktails around the pool on Friday nights, Ice Cream Social next Saturday, etc.... only a few lots left and we will be complete here...

Thank you for making our move to Milton so uneventful. It has been an easy transition. We love the house and hope to see you soon!

Dick & Nancy Trask

Wow, how to begin to describe Kathy Sperl-Bell as a real estate agent. Let's see, she cares about her clients, she will do whatever is necessary to support her clients, she will answer questions morning, noon and night, she knows the area, she knows the builders, she understands familial relationships with regards to the buying process, she takes time to understand her client's needs, she will offer good advice as needed and she's married to this dude named Bill who, when necessary, brings a builder's technical perspective to the table in a way I've never encountered before - they are a great team! In addition, Kathy is just an all around sweetheart. So it is without hesitation that my wife and I recommend Kathy Sperl-Bell as THE real estate professional to work with in Sussex County, DE. 

Phil & Ellen Kane

Do you want a great Realtor? Contact Kathy Sperl-Bell, she is fantastic and also her husband Bill.  I listed my property with her and she was right on it.  She told me how to show my home .  I did all she suggested and within 6 months, my property was sold.  She and her husband Bill are Fantastic to work with.  I not only wanted to sell my property, but I needed to buy another property and she was Right there for Me.  We looked at several properties and I decided on one and she handled all for me.  All I can say is that Kathy is there from the beginning till the end and she fights for her clients.  She did for me , I sold my property, and now am in a wonderful development that she had shown me and I am so Happy.  I would recommend the Kathy - Bill Team to anyone, they have one thing in mind and that is their Client.  This Team wants to make their Client Happy and they know how to do it.

After using a realtor who just sent us multiple listings I found the baby boomer specialist on the internet. We met with Kathy, giving her all the pertinent details of what we were looking for. She showed us many homes in the area until we fell in love with our house. Kathy helped us through the entire process and was always there by our side. After we moved in Bill did a beautiful job painting our house and hanging lights and fans. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts to you both. You helped make our transition very easy.

Dear Kathy and Bill,

Just wanted to let you know how much you are appreciated. Dinner last night was absolutely wonderful, thank you.

A huge thanks for all that you've done throughout the years in helping to make our dream home a reality. You worked above and beyond for us and we intend to sing your praises to anyone who will listen.

Thanks again for everything.

Kathy helped us purchase our retirement home near the beaches in Delaware in 2008.  After finding a description of the house on the Internet, we searched for local real estate agents and left a message on Kathy's phone.  She called within an hour to discuss our interest and needs.  Within a day or two, Kathy went to the property, shot many interior and exterior photos and reported on the condition of the home and its landscaping.  She also checked other listings for similar properties for us to see.  We soon traveled to Delaware and met Kathy. With all of the information Kathy had provided us, we were able to make a quick decision and write a contract on our dream home.  Kathy made all the arrangements for the inspection and several other contingencies, and the closing could not have gone more smoothly.  Kathy has since been a great help to us in finding contractors to do minor repairs and additional landscaping.  Thanks to Kathy, we are looking forward to spending many enjoyable years in our new home.

With all the chaos of a quick settlement and then the travel immediately after, not sure if I properly thanked you. You did an amazing job getting us easily through the purchase of Grenache Court. Your gift of the (address) stamp was brilliant and I stamp all sorts of crazy things just to use it. We will derive endless pleasure from our Lewes book, as with each visit to the house and reading it, we learn some great new facts about our future new home. Sorry we were too rushed to enjoy a dinner with you and Bill the day of settlement but look forward to some good times when the holidays are over and we are able to be down there more often. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a very blessed and joyous Christmas. Thanks again.

"My initial contact with Kathy Sperl-Bell was via E-mail and phone from Florida as I planned a house hunting trip to the Lewes - Milton area in August of 2005. With her assistance, we found a home and neighborhood that fit the very particular needs of a recently retired couple and an aging senior citizen. Kathy immediately impressed me with her grasp of the unique style, age and design of a home that would satisfy the contour of our needs while at the same time meeting our budget. Her knowledge of the market and its trends together with her vast experience and credentials were invaluable as were her guidance, patience and diligence. We are most grateful for our experience with Kathy during the home search as well as before and after the purchase since it was pleasant and professional at every turn. The entire process was certainly complicated by the fact that we were more than a thousand miles away and yet we hardly noticed. Nearly a year has passed since my initial contact and we are very happy in our new home. Kathy Sperl-Bell has left quite an impression in our minds and a very large footprint upon the real estate market of Sussex County Delaware."

"What makes Kathy and Bill special is they listen to my wishes. They respond to my requirements. They communicate with me and know what I want. And they deliver."
