“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.

He worked hard for us and worked to give us the best chance of getting the house we really wanted.”
