We do much more than just help you find someplace to live – we make sure it fits your lifestyle.
Call Ronda White for a personal touch to your relocation!
As a first time home-buyer I think I’ve been spoiled –– Bill and Ronda didn’t just listen to
what I wanted in a home, they took the time to get to know me personally and made looking for a house a fun, exciting and enjoyable experience. I ended up with a great place... And great friends.
–– Dr. S. Ziegler, Conover Place Condominiums Bill and Ronda worked with us remotely to coordinate all aspects
of buying... They took care of absolutely everything! My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Bill and Ronda. I would recommend them to any of my family or friends.
They continue to work with us and help us despite the closing taking place weeks ago. I can’t say enough about what a great job Bill and Ronda did and are doing for us!!!
