“We couldn't have had a better realtor. With Geoff's experience, he was able to explain the process and the why's. Any realtor can help you when everything is smooth sailing, but when our sale started getting bumpy, Geoff was there always explaining options, ultimately leaving the decisions to us. He was definitely in our corner and earned our respect.”
