“After speaking with Tyrone, it's clear he possesses the experience, expertise, local market knowledge and professionalism I was looking for in a realtor. Throughout the entire home buying process he patiently listened to me and quickly understood what my needs were in terms of amenities, community, location, proximity to work, and convenient access to shopping, dining entertainment, etc. And when it came to preparing and presenting our offer, it was collaborative because he valued my input! He had the foresight to establish rapport and an open line of communication with the listing agent early on in the negotiation phase, which helped tremendously! Aside from being a top tier real estate professional, Tyrone is good people...he's an honest guy and his integrity is beyond reproach!!! I recommend him highly, without reservation.”

“I knew I could trust Boris Miric because he came highly recommended from a well trusted source of mine. He made the home buying process less stressful and more enjoyable because he was very communicative each step of the way. He works very expeditiously and makes you feel like a priority, and ultimately he was able to beat out the competition for my place within parameters I felt good with. All around it was a great experience working with him.”
“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.”
“Donte Wade was a fantastic agent! My wife and I are first-time homebuyers needing to move to a city we didn't live in and couldn't visit, but Donte drove countless miles to have virutual viewings and helped provide local guidance on the various factors that were important to us. The most impactful thing that Donte did was provide a lot of insight and guidance during the negioation process to make sure that we were making our offer competitive and gave us the best chance of being successful. I will be recommending him to my family when they move into the area!”
“I loved John and Susan like they were my own family! Absolutely loved working with them! Communication was great and just the experience from start to finish was amazing! I would highly recommend John to anybody who needs a realtor! Words can't express nor describe what a wonderful experience I had working with John and Susan! They deserve the highest level of appreciation! Thank you for aligning me with them through my sale! The world needs more people like John and his sister Susan in the realtor community! Hugs to them!”

Paula is a true professional with a very approachable personality and friendly demeanour. She is the epitome of what first class customer service should look like. I couldn't be more satisfied!”
