“We have been working with Courtney for a couple of years now and have completed several transactions on both the buy and the sell side. I can honestly say that I have never dealt with anyone so thorough, professional or knowledgeable. We have worked with other realtors in the past, and are so thankful Courtney and the team were recommended to us. We have never had to worry about whether we had current market data, that documentation was submitted on time or that we were getting the best advice. She is so personable, reliable and will always make time for you. She really is there for you every step of the way!” - Susan Davis (Google Review)
