Our family first bought and sold a home through Leslie at RE/MAX about 10 years ago. Even after the process, she kept in touch, always remembering birthdays and special occasions, which left us with such a warm impression that we turned to her again when it was time to look for a new home. This time, we worked with Ms. Joan , who guided us for almost three years until we found the perfect house. We were also able to sell our previous home smoothly through him. The RE/MAX team was incredibly fast, accurate, and professional with everythingaEUR"paperwork, showings, photography, inspectionsaEUR"and their responsiveness gave us complete trust. Their work was so seamless that I would happily recommend them to friends and family. Having been both a buyer and a seller, I can say with confidence that Joan and the RE/MAX team always provided answers that were thoughtful, helpful, and in my best interest. Thank you again, Leslie and Joan!

We recently worked with Liz and her team to sell our home, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the start, Liz demonstrated true professionalism, guiding us through every step with clear communication, expert market insights, and a strategic approach that maximized our homes value. Her team was incredibly attentive, always quick to respond to our questions and ensuring we felt supported throughout the process. What truly stood out was how efficiently she handled the saleaEUR"she managed to sell our home not once, but twice in a short span, navigating a competitive market with ease. Even better, she had solid backup offers lined up, which gave us peace of mind and helped us close smoothly without any hiccups. If youre looking for a realtor who delivers results with professionalism and a dedicated team, Liz is the one to call. Highly recommended!
