“I’ve sold a few houses along the way but this sale had new complications. It was out of state and had belonged to my Aunt who passed away last summer. Every part of this deal had to be handled over the phone, text or email. Meredith Ruiz was a true professional. She was punctual and knowledgeable along every step of the process. She also was a pleasure to speak with. She almost always answered the phone and was accessible at all times. Her attitude and great communication were exactly what I needed to get the house sold. I would recommend her to anyone and if I am ever in Texas again I would bring her more business. Thanks Meredith.”

“Brandee and her team were A-1 along the entire home selling process. We actually met with and interviewed 4 other realestate agencies along the way. However, from the first time that we met to the day we closed on our house we always felt good and comfortable. At times the home selling process can become very frustrating and stressful and along the way we ended up having one of those very challenging buyers. The kind of buyer that can make you feel like not wanting to deal with them. However, I felt that our realestate team kept the buyer and there realtor in check, yet at the same time being very professional along the way and made sure that we stayed focused on the end in mind of selling our home. I could not imagine what the outcome would of been if we would of chosen a different realestate group with less experience. Thank all of you again. Gary Z”
