“Anthony was instrumental in assisting my family with the sale of my mother's home upon her death. He was informative and knowledgeable about our area and the challenges we were facing with the condiiton of the home. He was in line with our thoughts and pricing which proved to be beneficial to all. Anthony maintained constant communicatoins with us throughout the process and made this difficult endeavor as smooth as possible. It was a pleasure working with him, so much so that I made an immediate referral to a collegue and he sold their property within days as well. They also are very pleased. I would highly recommend working with Anthony for your needs and would definitely work with him again should the need arise.”

“As a first time home seller, Nichole Boyd expertly guided me through the entire process to a quick and successful sale. I never felt uncomfortable relying on her knowledge and connections, and I cannot overstate how responsive and communicative she was. She went above and beyond what I expected from a realtor, and I will continue to rely on her in the future.”

“Sue Simpson has been a trusted, proven professional that my wife and I have had the opportunity to work with on three occassions over the past 22 years. I would call no other agent to assist us with the preparation and listing of an unusual size home for the area: one with a unique floor plan and a desirable lot. We very much needed an experienced realtor with precise knowledge of area market trends and home values for this transaction; Sue Simpson was fantastic. Thank you - Scott & Emily Easton PS - It's really hot in Florida.”

“Terri i Parrish is no longer my Realtor....she is my friend! She "held my hand" through a difficult process for me as I am older and not as strong as I have been. She brought me coffee on the days the gas had been stopped and not restarted. She helped me move my belongings to storage! She returned every one of my frantic calls and soothed my concerns. She made sure every i was dotted and t crossed on every document. I must say that if one needs compassion in a Realtor and skills to sell, call Terri. I have one more to sell and she will be the listing agent!”
