“Chad Shircliff was a great help in selling our mother's home after her move to retirement living. He was knowledgeable about the area and brought his expertise and advice throughout the entire process. With his help we sold the property quickly, for over asking, and with no hiccups along the way. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends and anyone needing a realtor.”
“I had a great experience working with Thomas. He is professional, kind, and truly a pleasure to work with. Thanks to his guidance and support, we were able to complete an excellent real estate deal together. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy agent.”

“Crystal was absolutely amazing. Not only did she help me during a difficult time, but had all the resources available to help find a home quickly and exactly where I wanted to be. She helped me with every aspect of securing a bridge loan quickly, and finding the perfect place for me within weeks. She walked into my house as a stranger and walked out the same day as a friend. I have never received more support and help from a realtor, it was all about me and my needs, never about her. She was always available to help, explain and answer all my questions, usually within minutes. I dont think I would have gotten through this with out her help. But she made it easy, quick and (almost) painless. She was a total Godsend.”
