Our Testimonials

Mitch was incredible to work with. After two years on the market with one REALTOR we decided to try someone new. Within 4 days of him relisting it, it was under contract. I'm not saying he can work magic for everyone but he sure did for us. Great communication, went above and beyond to make things work, and was just all around nice guy. Wish we had found him sooner. Would work with him again in a heartbeat.
