“The service was great, and for the agent, you couldn't ask for anyone better.”
“My agent, Nisha Smithrick, was the ideal agent. We had tried to work with other Baltimore agents over the past year and they were terrible. Nisha was amazing from the get-go. She reached out immediately. She asked questions to understand our specific desires for my son's first home. She presented relevant listing within a day. She made herself available for appointments to fit our schedules. She showed us a great selection of homes. She followed up, gave her honest advice. She then was a great sounding board for creating an offer and negotiating with the seller. She was responsive and proactive through the whole process including to inspections and closing. She answered all our questions thoroughly and quickly. I highly recommend Nisha.”
“This is our second time working with Tanya Cunningham and she continues to be incredible in all aspects of real estate transactions. She went above & beyond several times throughout our sale process to make it as easy on us as possible. I want to be like Tanya when I grow up. Would highly recommend to anyone in need.”
“Vicki was excellent. She handled every detail quickly, accurately, and professionally. She was available every time we needed to contact her. We were in Florida during the process of selling our home so Vicki had to handle all details and necessary actions without our help and she did. We are totally satisfied.”

I will rate Don Roberts as a five-star Realtor. Job well done. ”
