“She's very knowledgeable and she's the pro. She made a good deal with the property that I got. She was able to get a sellers credit that covered my closing cost. The amount is more than the closing cost itself. Ate Adora will guide you and explain all the details. She's also always available to answer your questions and is there when you need help. I highly recommend her. I'm grateful that I get to know her.”

“Working with Payal Kir was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She was there for every step of the home-buying journey—always accessible, highly knowledgeable, and deeply committed to making the process smooth and successful. Payal took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and provided thoughtful guidance and expertise throughout the search, negotiations, and final closing. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care truly set her apart. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“Several agents reached out to us with basic information, but Jane Cresswell's initial contact was a step above all the others. She'd done some research and already had some helpful information about our property. Outstanding from the outset and brilliant throughout.”

“Efficient and non-intrusive service. They recommended an agent, Craig Ackerman, who got us our dream home after only 3 weeks, 4 house-viewings, and one offer later. We'd gone through 3 ineffective agents over a 4 month period before this, so it was much appreciated!”

“Ms Hagley was referred to us by good friends. She understood what we wanted and came through with that. She guaranteed we’d be in contract no more than two weeks and we were in contract before the two weeks was up. It was a difficult decision for us to sale my grandparents’ place but I am soooo glad we did. I’m always throwing the name out there to people that are thinking of selling. I’m very grateful for the services that Cindi provided for us. I would highly recommend Cindi and her group because they stand by their word and commitment to you. Thank you again!!!”
