“Bought our home and decided to move just about a year later. Kevin and Amanda were able to set realistic expectations and create a gameplan that would work best for our situation. Throughout the selling process we made adjustments based on their experience and recommendations. Having a team you trust was a huge part of the selling process for us. I would recommend them to any family/friend in need of an agent.”
