Testimonials "Holly and Michael were a pleasure to work with. They not only found me the perfect house, they negotiated a great price, and helped coordinate everything from the home inspection to recommending a great closing attorney. They are very knowledgeable in their field and were able to provide professional guidance each step of the way. I would definitely recommend them!"
"What a great team! They referred us to a terrific network of people from plumbers to electricians that helped us prepare the house for sale. They brought in a wonderful photographer to showcase our home with its best possible views; It looked amazing! Their greatest strengths are their excellent communication skills, negotiating style and marketing/ technology background. They were always available to answer questions and give feedback and are very hardworking and professional. Both Holly and Michael have a talent and passion for their work. We really felt they went above and beyond for us and treated us more like family. We are very happy!"
"I was out of the country on business when the house I wanted came up for sale on Zillow. Michael and Holly went above and beyond including going to the property during a snowstorm and shooting video for me to experience the property from my location. Because of their use of technology, I was able to feel good about making an offer remotely. That extra effort eased my mind on the purchase. I am in the house now and could not be happier."
