    As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I couldnt have asked for a better real estate agent than Mimie. From start to finish, she was incredibly helpful, persistent, and patient. Mimie always respected our decisions while guiding us with her insight and experience. She took the time to educate us on every step of the process, ensuring we fully understood what to expect. Mimie showed us a variety of homes that fit our needs and was always encouraging, kind, and friendly. She stayed on top of every deadline and made sure we did too, following up consistently and keeping everything on track. What stood out most was how much she truly cared about our happiness. Mimie went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and her professionalism and punctuality were top-tier. One thing she said that was very reassuring and impactful for us was, aEURoeYoull know when you find the right house because youll just be able to feel it and know that thats your home.aEUR? ?? Her personality made the entire experience enjoyable, and we genuinely cant recommend her highly enough. If youre looking for someone whos knowledgeable, reliable, and truly invested in your goals, Mimie is the woman to do it!

    Tenekia is an amazing realtor. Working with her took all of the stress away from purchasing my first property. She stood on business and advocated for me when it came to negotiating. Knew exactly what I was looking for and delivered!

    I had worked with a few realtors before but wasnt able to sell my property. When I started working with Mitch things changed completely. His pricing analysis was spot-on, and his market strategy really made a difference. Mitch was able to attract higher offers which helped me sell the property successfully. He was professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed throughout the process. I'm very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Mitch to anyone looking to sell their property.

    Mitch was truly the best realtor during the process of the sale of my house! He gave me reasonable advice and recommendations of improvements to make to the house prior to going on the market. He also kept me updated almost daily throughout the whole process. We also hit a bump in the road during the sale and Mitch and his team jumped in to help save the day! 100/10 recommend.
