Testimonials
Thank you for your patience, compassion and honesty during our search for a house. Some people are just a blessing to meet as you walk down the road of life. You are one of those people! Thanks for all you both do and for all of your help.
Jennifer Jordan
Jim and Linda were incredibly helpful throughout the entire sales process.
As a military family attempting to sell their property from out-of-state, it was particularly important to have local representation that was willing to go beyond the usual realtor expectations.
They also provided very timely and relevant communications so that we felt comfortable with the showings and status of the property. We highly recommend Jim and Linda.
Thanks again for the help.
Matt Shipley
Choosing to sell your home is an emotional time and you need to have confidence and trust in the person you choose to do that for you.
We chose to work with you because you have a very calm and professional outlook. You were very thorough in your research but also willing to listen to our thoughts and concerns.
The information you gave us to help us sell our house was extremely useful. We also appreciated the time you spent at the house and your help with de-personalizing and looking at the house objectively.
Probably the single most useful piece of advice on staging was suggesting that I go and look at model homes and take note of what was NOT there. It gives you a whole new perspective.
We appreciated your promptness with everything that needed to be done and your communication made the process smooth and as stress free as possible.
It was a pleasure working with you to sell our house and also your help to purchase our new home and I would encourage anyone needing to sell their house to put their trust in you.
