"We wanted a agent that was experienced in waterfront properties and found that in Bill Fanning. His knowledge of the unique aspects of waterfront properties, the market, and the process was exceptional. Using this knowledge he guided us at every step of the way from establishing a sales strategy that would maximize our return though the sales, inspection, and closing process. HIs experience and expertise was a clear asset as it seemed no matter what came up he had encountered it before and could offer us various choices on how to respond.
Bill seemed always engaged and on top of everything, proactively communicating with us. We ended up with complete confidence that Bill was and would take care of us no matter what came up making what can be a stressful process extremely easy. He went above and beyond offering expert advice on a home issue that was discovered during inspection, connected us to some contractors to quickly address the issue, and even took care of scheduling and completing the work.
In addition to the exceptional support and stress-free process Bill provided, the resulting return on our investment far exceeded our exceptions. We highly recommend Bill Fanning."

"Bill was wonderful! Always had a calming influence and had knowledgeable, well thought out solutions to issues that arose. At times acted as our contractor to get problems resolved thoroughly and efficiently. He certainly knows his business AND the area AND his clients. I'm very grateful he was referred to us and would highly recommend him to anyone selling/buying waterfront property.
Even though our property ran into some issues Bill kept the negotiations going, found resolutions to the issues and kept the prospective buyer interested clear to the closing. The sales money was in my bank account one day after signing the closing papers.
On surveys I don't usually give many "excellent" grades figuring as good as they were there's always room for improvement. Bill deserves every "excellent" given on this survey.
Bill's staff was always thorough, timely and efficient."

"Bill Fanning was the best realtor I have ever worked with. His knowledge of the real estate market and laws in CDA and Kootenai Co. is unsurpassed. His help with obtaining surveys, septic permits, etc was so important as I live out-of-town. I am disappointed that the lot didn't sell sooner, but I do not think that had anything to do with Bill's services or marketing. At the end of the day, he walked me through the sales and closing process, and is now still helping me sell my dock. Huge asset to Century 21!"

"Bill Fanning did a great job. I would recommend him to my friends. He did a great job of giving me an accurate estimate of the value of my property up front and his marketing materials were top notch. He did not pressure me to lower the price to get a quick sale like many agents do. It was a very pleasant experience and I believe I got a good price for my property."

"I can not say it often enough....we had no complaints in any area about Bill Fanning. Fantastic job!
Bill Fanning contacted my husband, John and I on the phone and suggested he come talk to us regarding a specific marketing plan he had for our home. We had selected Bill as our realtor about 3 years ago and were unsuccessful in selling our home. When he called in February, 2015.... our contract with another realtor/company had just expired and were impressed that Bill initiated contact with us by phone. We invited him to our house. After listening to his marketing scheme, we signed a contract with him that day. We have never been sorry that we did! He was fantastic and sold our house in a very short amount of time. Any time we had a question or concern (even as we were closing), we would call or text him and he responded to us immediately. We are very, very impressed with his professionalism and salesmanship. Our experience with Bill Fanning was absolutely positive in all aspects of the partnership we had with him."
