Doug was a pleasure to work with, selling our old home and buying our new home. His expertise is obvious and negotiation skills exceptional. Low fees too. Highly recommend

Doug was a true professional. He’s very informative and knowledgeable about the area my house was located . The title company he uses is also top notch and very organized. I will use Doug again if I purchase property in the area he covers

Doug was very helpful in advising on what our target asking price should be. His suggestion to list the property for just one week and then close to allow for bidding offers was exactly the right call. We sold the day the listing was closed. His advertised discount rate is what attracted us. His ability to manage the listing is what kept us to list for us.

Doug was really great to work with on selling an inherited property that was selling as-is and we knew would be hard to sell. He negotiated for us and got us the best price, way more than we were expecting. He answered my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. Doug was extremely professional and I would definitely use him again.

Doug handled the sale of my house perfectly! I couldn’t be happier with how the process went. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell. He is very knowledgeable and efficient. I look forward to working with Doug again in the near future.
