Danielle Izen has been the perfect realtor for us. Her knowledge of real estate is vast and helped us to focus on both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new home. The process was made smoother because of Danielles calm and reassuring advice. Shes been wonderful to work with, always answering every question and using her expertise to guide through the entire process. On a personal note we admire Danielles warmth, responsiveness and concern. We felt fortunate to have her as our agent. Howard and Gail

Working with Liz has been such a great experience from start to finish. She was always professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Liz made everything easy to understand and was quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. Her communication was consistent, and she truly went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Thanks to her guidance and dedication, what could have been a stressful process ended up being enjoyable and exciting. I'm so grateful for all her help and highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for a reliable and caring realtor. Thank you again, Liz, for all your hard work and for making this experience such a positive one!

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!
