"Mary was great to work with. I was a first time buyer searching for my perfect place and I found it. Working with her was like having my mom with me, she was very honest in regards to how she felt in terms of safety at each place we visited along with price and value. I ended up finding a new construction building and her knowledge of construction was very valuable. She was patient and never made me feel rushed. I’m extremely happy with my purchase and look forward to coming home every night." - Holly H., Buyer ★★★★★
"I sing Phil and Mary’s praises to all my friends and coworkers.... telling them how easy you made the process for me and how lucky I feel that you were able to do it all in the middle of a pandemic." ★★★★★
"Phil was absolutely fantastic. He was easily accessible, encouraging and patient with us as first-time buyers. Mary brought an air of practicality to the process. She was able to keep us focused on what was going to be a "smart purchase" vs. what seemed like a "cool house" When we made a choice to go with a home and Mary approved, we knew we found the right one." ★★★★★
"We absolutely love our new home. We really couldn't be happier and we are so thankful for your help with the whole home-buying process."
