Chad was our real estate agent from the first home we purchased, through the sale of our first home and through the purchase of our current home. Always professional and extremely knowledgeable. Chad gives friendly advice that makes total sense and he makes buying and selling a home stress free! Even years after the purchase of our home, any issue we've encountered we typically ask Chad and every time without failure he provides contact information of professionals he trusts with whatever our specific issue is.We highly recommend Chad!

Emily was very helpful to my boyfriend and I buying our first home. We didn't know all the things to look for and she pointed out everything to watch for. She was really good about getting back to us with information on the homes we looked at. I would 100% recommended her!!

Emily is an excellent Real Estate Agent! I had the smoothest purchase process anyone could experience and I honestly couldn't be happier. Prompt, professional and genuine are just a few of the many great qualities that she had displayed throughout the transaction. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for agent to help guide their next transaction.
