“I started working with Beth Hines after my father moved out of his house to be closer to family. She wasted no time getting the ball rolling, gathering information from and for me, providing updated measurements, square footage, and photos of the property, and making contractor recommendations. Her attention to detail was evident as she walked through the house and around the property, inquiring about several areas inside and outside the home that I had not even noticed. It was a pleasure working with someone who took the time to get to know my unique set of circumstances before assigning a realtor who was perfect for the job. I highly recommend the Beth Hines Team!”
