CLOSED PURCHASE LOAN. Amazing to work with, Ken was always quick to respond, very knowledgeable, and clearly there to support us. We had been first time home-buyers and having Ken on our side was a blessing. I know that if I ever look to buy and sell again, Ken will be the first person I call. I recommend that if you are serious just give Ken a call and talk to him, even if you don’t go with him you will leave the conversation feeling more confident in your new adventure!

I typically don’t take the time to write reviews but, I felt compelled to write this due to my recent experience with Samantha.

Overall, it was the best experience that I could have asked for and she surpassed my expectations.

We were very skeptical to get started but he has made the process really easy and answered all of our, sometimes silly, questions with a lot of patience. We contacted many agents we met at open houses but chose Mike to work with because of his amazing follow up and follow through. I will definitely be recommending Mike to friends and family!

HHHHH HHHHH HHHHH HHHHH
This was our first experience buying a house or using a realtor. We were amazed with Matt’s commitment to us. When we got discouraged he always said, “Don’t panic. We’ll find the house you love.” Twenty-two houses later we found it. I never thought a realtor would work as hard as Matt does. Saturdays, Sundays, Monday evenings, he was always ready to go. He gave us a lot of advice and guidance throughout the entire process, from buying new versus buying old, advantages and disadvantages of the towns where the houses were, his advice, knowledge and experience was fabulous and made the entire buying process fun and enjoyable. Matt always returned our calls and I never once felt like we were “bothering” him, although I am sure, at times, we were. When it came time for closing Matt knew I was out of town on business and did the final walk-through for us. I have and will recommend Matt to anyone that needs a realtor.
