“We were new to TX and I wrote an inquiry about 55+ communities, Brad Evans happened to answer my inquiry. I can’t say enough about his knowledge and expertise, he is a top notch realtor. We purchased a house with Brad’s help, but unfortunately had to pull out of the deal because there were structural issues. Brad stuck with us through everything, including finding a rental and then finding our forever house. He was always accessible, responded timely and worked incredibly hard to support us in every way possible. I can’t say enough good words for Brad - he was a true professional for us.” - Betsy Torrence (Google Review)
