He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I felt confident every step of the way. No question was ever too small, and his expertise made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable.What really stood out was how friendly and genuine he was. He didn’t just treat me like a client—he treated me like family. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and was always patient, supportive, and honest in his guidance.I’m so grateful for his dedication, professionalism, and kindness. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and will have your best interests at heart, I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

LaVerne P Blowers, Elkhart, Indiana | Home Seller

Wayne was as amazing to work with the second time around as he was the first! We sold our old home and bought a new one with his help. Thanks to his many years and dedication to his craft, he's built up a thorough reputation with the realtors in the area and a heavy majority know him and have never had anything bad to say about him. Wayne builds excellent friendships and relationships with whoever he has the pleasure to work with, and my wife and I are always happy to see him!

Sawyer Fell, Mishawaka | Home Buyer

Mr. Birkey is the most knowledgeable, helpful, thorough, kind, caring, effective, responsible, trustworthy, and down to earth Real Estate Agent that I know. Mr. Birkey was not only a Real Estate Agent for decades, he also has experience in building houses for 45 years. Mr. Birkey went above and beyond helping me buy my first and recently helping me to sell the same house. Through the interactions with him, I grew in my sense of trust in him. Mr. Birkey‘s rich knowledge and experiences was an extremely satisfying experience for me. Such an experience will be remembered for the rest of my life. I will highly recommend Mr. Birkey to my friends and others.

Wayne was critical in the success of buying a home. He goes the extra mile to make sure we're not spending too much. He crunches all the numbers for us so we know exactly what to expect before closing. I could go on and on about all of Wayne's hard working attributes. I highly recommend Wayne Birkey if you're buying or selling a home.

BRANDON GUTHRIE, Wakarusa, IN | Home Buyer

My home selling experience with Wayne Birkey was excellent. His experience in real estate is very helpful. His knowledge of the housing market helped us price our house perfectly. I believe we sold our house so quickly because of the detailed description and great pictures Wayne listed. His hard work ethic and care for my family through the selling process are just a couple reasons why I'll continue to work with Wayne in the future.

BRANDON GUTHRIE, Wakarusa, IN | Home Seller

I highly recommend Wayne Birkey for anyone purchasing a home. Wayne was amazing helpful and patient. Since he has a lot of experience both building and selling houses, he has good suggestions and critiques that helped me evaluate what I was looking for and what I should expect. He walked me through the process in detail so I always understood what needed to be done as I purchased my first home. I also appreciated that he always responded quickly to my questions and concerns. I never felt pressured by Wayne to purchase property I wasn't excited about, and he made it easy for me to make an offer once I was found one I loved and was ready. I would definitely work with him again in the future and am recommending him to my family and friends.

Michele Weldy, Mishawaka, IN | Home Buyer

Wayne Birkey was very great to work with. He guided me throughout the entire home buying process, and it made the process much easier for me!!! He is really appreciated! Thank you ??

Alexis Reed, South bend, Indiana. | Home Buyer

Wayne Birkey is the absolute best realtor with whom I have ever worked !! After a number of real estate transactions and potential transactions, both as a prospective primary residence and as a rental property, I have never encountered a realtor as thorough, caring and hard-working as Wayne Birkey !!! His attention to detail and ability to anticipate what might be needed are second to none. He continually goes beyond the call of duty and exceeds expectations of a real estate professional. Unless you have a relative or close friend to whom you are beholding, Wayne Birkey should be your only phone call ! I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. Rather, you will wish you had worked with Wayne in the past !!

Jerry D., South Bend, Indiana | Home Seller

Wayne was excellent with quick and accurate communication during the whole process. He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the transaction. He listened to what we wanted, and gave great advice on listing and negotiations during the transaction. I highly recommend Wayne for any real estate needs!

Briana, South Bend,IN | Home Seller

We tell everyone about Wayne Birkey! He is simply wonderful to work with. Wayne is very professional, knowledgeable, considerate, timely, and a true gentleman. He made selling our home so easy and painless. We also think his son is pretty fantastic as well. Wayne's son, Doug Birkey, covered for him when he was having surgery. Doug actually drove up and met me at work to hand-deliver the check. Excellent customer service!

Adam and Quin Powell, Mishawaka, IN | Home Seller

Being first time home owners, we entered the market very stressed and unprepared. Wayne was able to soothe all concerns almost immediately. He was highly recommended to us and overdelivered on our expectations at every level. He fully prepared and equipped us for purchasing our first home and always advocated for our best interests. With the current market, we encountered many obstacles. They each were met head on and overcome with ease. Wayne's experience was invaluable to us and we will be looking his way in the future.

Braden and Melissa Fish, Elkhart IN | Home Buyer

Wayne Birkey is a wonderful agent who readily shares his knowledge and goes the extra mile for his clients. He has been delightful to work with; his kindness was only surpassed by his expertise of the real-estate industry. Wayne equipped me with many resources, answered all my question, and even gave me a book to help guide my house search and help me get the best possible deal. As a first-time home buyer, I felt blessed to work with an agent like Wayne.

Aurelie, South Bend | Home Buyer

Wayne has his pulse on the market, maintains a realistic point of view, and helped keep us on course when we got skittish. Thanks Wayne!

Wayne was very knowledgeable and always responded in a timely manner. I always felt like I had someone guiding me through out the whole process. He always gave me his unbiased opinion and always put my needs first. He made my first time home buying experience a breeze. He was always explained everything in detail especially in the closing process.

Estrella Diaz, Elkhart, IN | Home Buyer

Working with Wayne was really great for my wife and I. We liked the fact that Wayne was trying to sell us just any house. He gave us the time to walk through houses we were interested in. When we were finished looking around, Wayne already knew where we stood as far as wanting the house or not. Wayne has a lot of experience and knowledge to share, he had our best interest at heart, and we really enjoyed his time spent with us.

Cole DeFries, Warsaw, IN | Home Buyer

Working with Wayne was a pleasure. He was very responsive to our needs and willing to go the extra mile to get our home sold.

Michael & Maryann Whiteman, South Bend, Indiana | Home Seller

This man was a gentleman from the very beginning! Always honest, consistently truthful, highest integrity, extremely detail oriented, and fast response time. Wonderful man to work with. He really listened to what my husband and I were looking for when searching for our home and gave prudent advice and instructions. Fantastic realtor and wonderful human being.

Quin Powell, Mishawaka, IN | Home Buyer

Buying my first home with Wayne Birkey was nothing short of amazing. Imagine having a former home builder with decades of real estate wisdom guiding you every step of the way – that's Wayne for you. From our first chat to the closing day, he shared insights that only someone with his background could offer.Wayne's super approachable and professional, turning what could be a maze of complex steps into something I could easily grasp, especially when it came to the nitty-gritty of the inspection report. He was always there to break things down and steer me in the right direction, boosting my confidence and making me feel fully supported.I am 100% satisfied with how Wayne handled everything and I'd jump at the chance to work with him again. If you're looking into real estate, Wayne's your go-to guy for a stress-free and positive journey. I can't recommend him enough for anyone looking to buy a home. You're definitely in the best hands with Wayne!

Lisa Weiss, South Bend, IN | Home Buyer

He is very punctual and always available to address concerns quickly. He demonstrates great business ethics while getting good results. I appreciate how he smoothed over some rough parts of the negotiations that I would likely have handled abrasively and blown up the deal over had he not stepped in. He goes above and beyond what is expected on him and seems to genuinely care about his customers.

JR Tito, Mishawaka, IN | Home Buyer

Wayne was amazing to work with. As a first-time home buyer, the process of finding and purchasing a home can be very daunting and stressful, but Wayne made it manageable and even easy for me. He handled everything and did a lot behind the scenes to keep the purchase process moving that I didn't even have to worry about, leading us to close in only three weeks! He even provided instructions on the processes that I had to carry out myself to simplify them and these were extremely helpful! Throughout the entire process (searching for a home and purchasing), Wayne only had my best interests in mind and gave me his honest opinion on multiple occasions, so I didn't make the wrong decision. He is very trustworthy, and I absolutely recommend him.

Ashley Fulbright, South Bend | Home Buyer

As I am an investor I always call Wayne to look at a property. His follow thru after the sale is top notch.

Dave Jones | Home Buyer

Wayne is very knowledgeable in his field. He goes that extra mile to make you feel comfortable and in control. Wayne is a master of knowing what info you need and has it to you before you even know you need it. Wayne is one of the most professional and down to earth people I've ever had the pleasure to know and to have dealings with. If there was a 5 star rating system I'd give Wayne 100 stars because he's that good and deserves more. I will recommend Wayne to anyone I hear about looking for a new home.As I stated in the previous comments. Wayne is the most professional realtor there is in my opinion. His overwhelming knowledge of his field and his consideration for you getting that perfect forever home is one of many , and I mean MANY, reasons I'd recommend Wayne to anyone looking for a new forever home. Wayne made this sale easy and stress free.Keep being you, Wayne

Mathew Faunce, South Bend | Home Buyer

We worked with Wayne four years ago when we sold our home. He was extremely professional and did a great job for us, and it only made sense to use him again when we completed this recent transaction. He was equally professional this time. We could not ask for anything more.Wayne is kind and thoughtful in his approach. He is an excellent listener. These qualities made him the perfect choice for us. The purchasing and sale of real estate can be difficult and create a significant amount of stress throughout the process. Wayne was very relaxed and calm during all phases of the process. This approach put us at ease. Wayne is always focused on the details of the transaction. He is diligent in his approach. He communicates clearly and makes the process extremely easy.

Mike and Pam Lenahan, South Bend, IN | Home Buyer

Dave Jones, Granger | Home Buyer

Wayne was amazing! He advocated for us during the process and was honest. Wayne is extremely knowledgeable about the area and process. Wayne was so detail oriented as well. He wasn't interested in just getting us into a house but getting us into the right house.Wayne was amazing when it came to handling the buying process. One of our inspections didn't pass. He made sure that it was communicated with the seller and that he was in constant communication with them. Wayne made sure that we always had the right paperwork so the deal wouldn't fall through.Wayne is an amazing person. I couldn't find a negative thing to say about him, even if I tried.

Kim Phillippi | Home Buyer

Wayne was very knowledgeable and experienced with every step of the process, and especially patient with walking a first time home buyer through that process. He was very helpful to have at house viewings for his insights on the more technical aspects of the home especially. Wayne is very kind and friendly, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know.

Adam Matteson, Elkhart | Home Buyer

We were paired with Wayne out of random selection after clicking a "contact agent" button on a well known home-listing website. Looking back, we could not have been more fortunate! Wayne is knowledgeable about the real estate process, to be sure, but is set apart from others in his knowledge of home construction. As a veteran builder, Wayne was able to guide our home selection by combining our ideal preferences, with his honest assessment of what was built to last. It took my wife and I a little time to find our own combination of preference and build quality in market of limited inventory, and we never got the impression that Wayne was growing impatient with us. All in all it was a great experience.

Eric & Lindsey V | Home Buyer

Wayne was amazing Would recommend Wayne to all my friends and colleagues

Bill Broyles, South Bend | Home Seller

Wayne went above and beyond for us. We wanted to tour the property numerous times and he was always available for us. We also text and called him well into the evening and always got a speedy response. We are so glad we got to work with Wayne! He has been amazing. So knowledgable not only with real estate and the area, but buildings in general. As first time home owners we are in the dark with a lot of things to do with owning a home and maintenance. Wayne has been so helpful in this respect too. Answering questions for us about basement windows and drains. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor, truly. We literally have no complaints!

Julia Oliver Mishawaka IN | Home Buyer

Hi Wayne,My family and I are very thankful for your assistance. We could not achieve our goal of finding a house without your help and patience. We hope there will be more realtors like you in this industry, so many families get support. Our journey was short but very satisfying as both parties did well in their jobs. I will recommend Wayne Birkey as one of the most professional, kind, and understanding with any matter in this field. He does not care if it is raining or late, but his concern is to serve his client. What amused me most was when he replied to our concerns as soon as he got our calls or messages and was always on time during meetups. Also, Wayne Birkey is very professional and respectful and does not entertain calls while he is with us.We are lucky to have Wayne and hope he will serve more families who need him as he knows mostly everything and is very compassionate.Best Regards,Zeiger Family

Daniela and Cristina Zeiger, 14638 Day Road, Mishawaka, 46545 | Home Buyer

Wayne Birkey sets extremely high standards for realtors. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of anxiety and very little knowledge about the whole process. By chance, we were put in touch with Wayne and thank goodness for that! Over the course of two months, Wayne not only found our new home for us, but also taught us so much about real estate, the area (we moved from out of state), and houses from the inside out. In the end, the man has spent more than forty years in this business and another couple decades in construction, so his wisdom is boundless. He helped us decode the inspection report and offered amazing advice on all things financing, bidding, signing, and renovating. Thanks to his experience and large network, Wayne also served as our compass for finding reliable contractors once we got our dream home. Plus, there is no ulterior motive to all of his hard work. Wayne cares deeply and genuinely about his clients –a lost art in today’s world. He is highly organized, efficient, tech-savvy, persistent, and extremely hard-working on behalf of his clients. His warm personality, subtle sense of humor, grace, and politeness quickly turned our initial anxiety into excitement, confidence, and happiness. If we decide to move in the future, we will choose Wayne Birkey again. We emphatically recommend him to anyone else searching for their dream home because Wayne provides unsurpassed quality service and sets standards very high.

Emily & Michael, South Bend, IN | Home Buyer

Having dealt with Mr. Birkey before, we knew we would get fabulous service. He has helped us twice before (once a sale and once a purchase) and is honest, friendly, knowledgeable, detail oriented, and a fun person to be around. He is double and triple checking the facts relative sales and purchases and then making sure there are no additional needs!!

Jim Scheetz, Granger | Home Buyer

Enjoys an impeccable reputation in the community from years of ethical and competent business practices.I could not ask for any greater level of service.

Rich Hill Granger, Indiana | Home Buyer

Wonderful person. Wife and I both like him very much. Great person to work with.

Ronald powell , GRANGER IN. | Home Buyer

I am extremely satisfied with not only the home I purchased, but also the way Wayne treated me and my family throughout our time together.I felt like Wayne had a perfect grasp of his surroundings when it came down to finding the perfect home for me!Great, extensive knowledge of his business in and around the area of South Bend. His previous work experience made him a valuable asset when making the choice to buy my current house!Wayne was very kind and respectful to me and my family throughout this whole process. I felt like he was one of the family by the time we were signing the papers for my new home!

Conner Loveless, South Bend | Home Buyer

Wayne Birkey made my first house buying experience a smooth and easy one. He was always responsive and quick to set up viewings. Every time I asked him to set up a viewing ASAP, we were viewing it THAT day. He was very flexible and even moved his own obligations around in order to get offers in on time or view a house. Due to this being my first home buying experience, his many years of building experience came in handy and he was able to answer all of my questions. He never made me feel like any question was stupid or trivial, he even welcomed me to ask as many questions as possible. I would recommend anyone looking to buy a home to work with Wayne. He is a very funny, kind man who is always looking out for your best interest. Overall, I could not have had a more pleasant experience buying a home with Wayne by my side helping in every single aspect that he could! I am so grateful that I had Wayne as my realtor, going above and beyond, throughout the whole process.

Ashley Crotteau, South Bend | Home Buyer

He was very knowledgeable and helpful in finding us homes that fit our needs

Rickie | Home Buyer

We had delt with Wayne before, he's a real pro.Any questions or any concerns were answered right away.Wayne was very helpful and informative, he made sure that both sides of the transaction were satisfied and happy. I would recommend Wayne to anyone selling or buying a home.

Robert U | Home Seller

We were connected with a couple of different agents before Wayne, but none of them showed the personal investment in helping us find a home that Wayne did. Wayne went above and beyond in helping us find a home. We were excited to find someone we could trust, and his experience both in building and real estate was a huge asset. Wayne walked us through every step of the way, and I never felt like I was bothering him when I had a question or request. He was kind, timely, and savvy throughout the entire process. We’ve already recommended him to some family members, and I would strongly recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Thanks for your time and attention. Awesome job! I really appreciate his attentiveness and willingness to go above and beyond for us. He was kind and courteous on the phone and has offered to video the property for us. His return call was prompt.
