"I remember well what you said to me a while ago--that people don't remember the hassles of selling an apartment. I know in time I'll forget a lot of this year, but I will always remember your professionalism and your tenacity. Barbara L."My compliments concerning your good design, communication skills, and excellence in keeping me informed as well as caring how I feel about what is happening. You and Ian have been more than agents, you have treated my husband and me with concern for our wellbeing and care.” Shannon S."Selling is a once in a lifetime event for us…we can't thank you enough for all your efforts in steering us through the process. I think we have already told you how great your "staging" of the apartment was. And it was an immense pleasure dealing with you at all times.” Doris B.Awards & Recognition
