Thank you for getting us in our new home so quickly. Tony and Rachael were extremley responsive and quick which is exactly what we needed. They got us closed and we moved in within 15 days and negotiated a fantastic deal where i didnt even really have to pay much at all to actually get in! Also thank you to Gus Ollofson for remaining responsive and pretty much having every resource we needed to complete everything we had to get done as far as inspections. We would recommend this team to anyone buying a house in the area.
