“Bill did an excellent job helping us sell my brother's house. He made recommendations of what to do and what not to do which were most helpful! After listing the house we had two showings with an offer on the second showing! Bill was most helpful during the negotiation process and we closed within six weeks! I would recommend Bill to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this area! He's honest, trustworthy and just the BEST!”

“Leslie Smolkowicz was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. I told her what my needs were, my price range and she hit the nail on the head ! She did all the legwork, and found me the perfect neighborhood, the perfect home! She was there EVERY step of the way, through the inspections, the paperwork... She was so knowledgeable, and professional. We were so in sync, I trusted her completely , and boy did she deliver! Attention to detail was an understatement for her , she's sharp as a tack lol, nothing gets past her. Thank you Leslie Smolkowicz, there aren't enough words to express my gratitude. You are the prime example of the phrase of having a "passion for what you do, and you will excel" it certainly shows . God Bless”
