    Jeff was always very responsive to texts, emails and phone calls. No matter the time, Jeff was there to support. Jeff was able to provide numerous points of contacts for loans, lawyers, and overall has a great networked team.

    I have a very strict budget and Jeff helped me find the right house for me. He set up an organized everything from the inspection to the showings straight through to the closing. The mortgage broker and the lawyer that he recommended worked perfectly with my situations. His responding to my text messages and phone calls were in a very timely manner. All my questions were answered and if he didn't know the answer which was rare he investigated further and got back to me really quick. I would recommend Jeff to anyone looking to purchase a house.
