Testimonials
Report
I had the pleasure of working with both Doug and Bryan during my "house hunt" this year. The market conditions were atrocious for buyers. I was concerned that I would NEVER find a house that I could both afford and enjoy! They proved me wrong. They were motivated to find the right house for me, and had the confidence and experience needed in an aggressive market to make it happen.
