“Wendy Teixeira was outstanding! ”
“I was immediately connected with an agent and used her services. A home was located and I was in Escrow within 1-2 weeks. I was very satisfied with this agent, who really went above and beyond to take care of every detail.”
“I contacted Agent Pronto and Heidi Parkins responded to my call within 5 minutes. She was nothing but helpful, caring and just all around wonderful. She knows what has to be done and does it. I'm recently widowed and Heidi was an angel sent to me. I couldn't have done any of this without her. She is the best and will always have a place in my life. She is a go getter, very professional and very ambitious and will make things happen for you. I can't say how much I appreciate and love her. She was with me every step of the process from selling to purchasing, and is still there helping me even after the purchase of my house. Heidi Parkins is top-notch in her field. I'd recommend Heidi for any of your real estate needs. Thank you, Heidi, for everything you've done to help me. You are truly the best!”
“It was fast and professional. I would recommend.”
“Thank you for quickly responding with a very good agent at the top of your list for my area. I am using Jameson to manage my newly acquired property. He did a great job finding the property I finally bought!”
“Mr. Holland was very goal oriented and practical. He allowed us to choose amongst three plans and provided some of the best crews to complete that plan. He wasn't a hands-off agent but actually got his hands dirty to help out. It shows he enjoys what he does and gives his best. Anyone who works with him would not be disappointed. Thrilled he took us on.”
“We had Matthew Welch as our realtor and he was so easy to work with. What I appreciated most was the consistent open communication. He was available to us at all hours and assisted with anything we had questions about. Matt has a very positive outlook and reassured us that our perfect home was out there. He was right. He worked hard for us and worked to give us the best chance of getting the house we really wanted.”
“Kelly is a really professional agent. She always quickly responds to my requests or questions. And during the selling and buying process, she has been coordinating between different parties, helping me solving all kinds of issues and even mentally support us. I can't make it without her! ”
