“Courtney was always present on time for reviews of the house of interest. She was genuinely friendly; more importantly, a real pro. Her observations both in regard to the house and contractural matters and attention to detail were excellent. Shannon coordinated and stayed in communication and did an excellent job of screening the contracts. Both Courtney and Shannon diligently extracted information regarding the house that the seller had not revealed initially. They were able to identify important issues that had not been fully disclosed. It was reassuring to work with them.I highly recommend them.They will represent you well.” - T Skeryanc (Google Review)
