…the most kind hearted, attentive, professional person…

What can I say about this man….he is the most kind hearted, attentive, professional person I’ve met in a long time. He made my purchase as easy and smooth as it can be. He’d call every week just to check up or just to say Hi, I don’t know many agents that do that. I remember one of the first things he said to me when we met…..It is easier to find a home than a man lol….That will stick with me for a long time. Step by step he guided me through the whole process, answered all my questions and when I felt like giving up, which was often, he encouraged me not to in so many ways. He always knew the right things to say and make me smile. When he would say, I’m here for you, no matter what day of the week it is, believe me, that is a true statement . Throughout the process, not only did I get a home, I’ve gained another friend for life. Jim is truly heaven sent and I would highly recommend him and his team in a heart beat.

Thank you Jim for the jokes, laughs, encouragement and for putting up with me 🙂 YOU’RE MY MAN 🙂
