A little over 14 years ago I found the perfect home with a Burns and Ellis realtor. The experience was wonderful. Recently an opportunity arose to find another home. I reached out to Jenna LaFermine, with Burns and Ellis to help me in this endeavor. I knew that I was in good hands with her, not only because she's passionate about what she does, but she also knows the market well. She cares about her clients, is patient and provides valuable input regarding the whole home buying/selling process. Additionally, she and her team at Burns and Ellis have contacts for every service you may need.... From home inspectors to painters. I am beyond thrilled with the home we found and am grateful for everything Jenna did!
I had a most wonderful experience with Shalini Sawhney as my realtor! Shalini is TOP NOTCH! She took the time and effort to understand the specific needs for my family and found us the most perfect home in a fantastic neighborhood! Shalini's dedication, enthusiasm, and vast knowledge and expertise of the real estate market in central Delaware truly makes her exceptional in this field! I highly recommend Shalini Sawhney without any hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home - you will not regret it!
Edna, thank you for the incredible job you did with our property. Without you, the house would still be sitting there, full of furniture, just sitting there. You found the right people and did it with so much integrity, it made selling the house easy and stress free! Thank you again Edna, we will never forget it!
Maggie was great and walked us through everything! She and her photographer did an amazing job showcasing our house which allowed us to sell quickly. She is easy to communicate with and is excellent at what she does. We would highly recommend her her for your buying and selling needs!
I had a fantastic experience working with Jenna! Jenna was knowledgeable, respectful, communicated with me, my lawyers and my lender throughout the whole process. She has been, by far, the best realtor I have ever worked with. She also kept surprising me with her wealth of contacts! It seems like she knows everyone in Delaware. I also contacted her after the sale for some questions and concerns and she always responded promptly. Thank you Jenna!
Worked with realtor Jenna LaFermine, and she was a great help through the entire process, and worked with my ever changing schedule. This was the first time buying a house and they were helpful throughout and helped me understand what was going on through the whole process.
Working with Jenna LaFermine has been an absolute pleasure. As an out-of-state buyer Jenna guided and educated my parents and I through the entire process. Jenna is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and has excellent communication skills - she kept us in the loop at all times! Jenna made the process of buying a home in Dover a wonderful and stress-free experience! I would highly recommend Jenna to family and friends.
Jenna was most helpful in the selling of our house. She made the whole process so enjoyable and stress free. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Jenna and the Burns & Ellis team!
My house buying experience with Jenna, was a very pleasant experience. She answered any and all of my questions without any hesitation and found the answers to the ones that she didn't already know. She was very professional and very accommodating to all of my needs. Even going into closing and pre closing inspection she was right there for me. She made this home buying experience a joy. I have bought 4 or 5 homes in my lifetime, and this was the smoothest and most satisfying experience of all of them. I will recommend her to anyone that may need a realtor in the future. In closing I would like to thank her again for I am not the easiest person in the world to work for. Thank you, Jenna.
Jenna is amazing. We have worked with her on several properties and she is fantastic to work with. She quickly responds to any questions we have and let's us know exactly what to do to make everything go as smooth as possible. She really cares about our buying experience. Would recommend Jenna to anyone buying or selling a house.

I had a great experience working with Mr. Peter Shade from Burns & Ellis Realtors. I was very impressed with his professionalism, real estate knowledge, attention to details, and positive attitude. He responded to all my questions/issues immediately and provided advice and solutions. I felt confidence with his ability to sell my house. If you plan to sell your house, go and ask for Mr. Shade.
Shalini Sawhney was my realtor who did an awesome job marketing and selling my home. She was always available during the day, as well as in the evening and so easy to work with. If you are selling a home, Shalini is the realtor for you! She is very detailed and has wonderful suggestions and very professional. She deserves a five star PLUS.
Jenna made the home buying experience so easy and smooth. She made sure the listings we viewed met my needs and was so quick to coordinate financing, contractors, settlement issues, and answer any questions along the way. I am so glad to have worked with such a professional!
I have taken a long time to write this, but I would be remiss in not letting folks know how much Edna helped with a real estate transaction that I undertook in June of 2021. I was living in Virginia Beach with my finance but knew that we needed a home in Dover. We were preparing to build a home, but the contractor had just told us that it would be insane to move ahead given the prices and supply chain issues he was facing. On a Saturday morning, I was out doing errands and Nancy called to say that she had found a home on-line and that I needed to come home to sign a contract with a buyer's agent. Edna has been her friend since childhood, and she suggested we engage her as our buyer's agent. I drove home not sure about the house and less sure I needed a buyer's agent. I have to say that Edna did not disappoint. Contracts needed to be in by noon on Sunday and Edna facilitated getting the contract in on time. By 9 o'clock that evening we knew that out contract had been accepted, at not a great premium over the asking price. If you are in need of a real estate agent, you should definitely consider Edna!
27 years ago my husband and I built our first home with the help of Edna Givens. She found us the perfect location and builder. Now we have sold that home with the help of Edna Givens, finding us the perfect buyer who will get to make great memories in a wonderful home. Edna made the process of buying and selling so easy. It has been a pleasure to work with Edna and we will always trust her with our business.
We are unable to find the right words that would describe how grateful and thankful for all Maggie did for us. She is capable, resourceful, well educated, knowledgeable, helpful, and always available. We are very sorry about all the personal problems she had to deal with, on our behalf. We love Maggie Haass. We will be recommending her to all of our friends and neighbors in Delaware.
Pete Shade was great to work with for both of our listings and we look forward to working with him again!
From finding a house in this tight market to navigating all the way to closing, the Burns & Ellis team held my hand and made sure no distractions got in the way. I couldn't be happier with their ability to identify things I'd never see. Thank you for all of your help.
We had the pleasure of working with Shalini Sawhney in the sale of our home, as well as purchasing our new home. It was a challenging time in the market, however, Shalini seamlessly guided us through it and made what is usually a very stressful event very seamless. She gets things done immediately and offers great suggestions and solutions to keep the sale on track. She was always available for any questions and she patiently explained the process to us. We highly recommend her!
Always respond right away!
We worked with Shalini Sawhney, she went above and beyond to help us find the perfect building lot on Silver Lake. She showed us several options and stayed in touch through multiple offers on different properties. We could not be more happy, she has been a tremendous resource for us and we would highly recommend her.
