Client Testimonials he had our best interests in mind We had an overwhelmingly positive experience working with Keith. He is very personable, attentive, quick to respond, easy to get a hold of and extremely knowledgeable of many of the nuances of the overall process. We always felt that he had our best interests in mind and worked toward getting us the best house for us within our price range. As first time home buyers, we didn t know what to expect. He was always realistic and besides giving good advice, he made sure we had a good understanding of the reality of the situation and helped us put things in perspective. He was also very patient with us. I would highly recommend Keith!!! - Kamilah C. willingness to go above and beyond Keith helped my wife and I buy our first house in a market that was very tough for buyers. Our situation was made even more difficult in that we ended up going into contract at the same time that we were heading out of town for 10 days. His expertise, flexibility, persistence, and willingness to go above and beyond what could be considered standard service were very important factors in our success. We would certainly recommend him to any of our friends. - Lon and Cindy C. an excellent agent to have on your side in a competitive market Keith helped us get a highly-desirable property in a very tough market, with a standard 20% down offer. Keith did a very thorough job in choosing an offer price based on recent comparable sales. Our offer was aggressive, but not excessive. We chose a very short closing period of two weeks, and Keith made this possible by getting inspectors to the property at very short notice. These made a substantial difference in the total amount we eventually paid. During the escrow period, Keith was available until late at night to answer questions and sort out the details. As a courtesy, he even had the house cleaned at no expense to us just before we moved in. Keith is an excellent agent to have on your side in a competitive market. He took most of the pain out of the process of buying a house, and I thoroughly recommend him to prospective buyers. - Jonathan M. gave us unconditional and tireless support Keith is a complete professional with a big heart. He took his role representing us personally and gave us unconditional and tireless support. My wife and I are extremely pleased with Keith in his commitment to our home search. He really went to bat for us in an extremely competitive market. - George V.
