Jody has single handedly won me over to why I/anyone would need a realtor in this day and age…read more Aside from granting access to prospective homes, As a first time home buyer I couldn't see why anyone would pay that kind of money for what seemed like such a basic service. Right from the start it felt like she was there looking at the house WITH us, like we were all buying it together. She took the time to go through the home like she was on a mission. This included poking her head into every single room/closet/cabinet, checking the plumbing, estimating (accurately I might add) when and where possible renovations or upgrades had occurred. The level of authentic partnership she brings to the table is incredible. And the moment we found a home we loved, she was off knocking on neighbors doors to find out the real goods about the neighborhood. She is professional, her communication was always prompt, and not once did we have to hunt her down for information/Taking action on something she had committed to. Buying a house in 2023 was not an easy feat as a first time buyer, but working with Jody was a real pleasure.

We have both sold a home and purchased a home with Richard. As house hunters, each home we viewed was followed up by questions Richard asked in order to fine tune the search, saving us a lot of time and disappointment. When we finally found the home for us, the negotiations required skill, creativity and experience, and Richard delivered on all three. As Sellers, we were able to rely on Richard's instincts and advice, experience and friendly manner. In a market where selling and buying comes with a heavy level of stress, Richard was able to minimize our worries and maximize our confidence. It has been a very profitable and pleasurable experience with Richard, and we recommend him with the highest degree of sincerity.
