“Maria helped prepare my home for market when I wasn’t in a position to handle the updates myself. She arranged landscaping and power washing, allowing the expense to be recovered at closing. The improvements resulted in beautiful photos and multiple offers over list price. I truly felt she went out of her way to help me maximize my profit.”

"Michael and his team were absolutely fantastic in both finding an amazing home for my family AND with selling our old one. He was incredibly helpful, flexible and professional in searching for a home that made sense for us both in terms of space but finding us a "deal" or at least the best price we could get in the recent market. Our old home was sold to non-investors and at full asking! We too… Read MoreRead Less

"This may not be everyone’s opinion, but when you’re choosing a surgeon, the one who’s “Insta-famous” for funny posts is not the one I want operating on me. I want the one who’s focused on their craft, not their follower count. Same goes for realtors IMHO. There are realtors—the sales reps —and there are REALTORS—the ones who actually care, think, and do the work. John is a REALTOR. The kind of … Read MoreRead Less
