Most of the broker are brand new and have no clue. Do yourself a favor and go to an established company.

There are not enough words to express how extremely disappointed I am in this company!! Ive given them several chances and still, they cease to amaze me on how TERRIBLE their customer service is. I have dealt with this company both personally and professionally, and every encounter was a nightmare.

DO NOT use this company they will lie and not be upfront yet charge you market rate. No one showed up at my closing and I was forced to do it alone!! Later the title company discovered a hugh error and I was actually owed almost a thousand bucks that I would have never seen had it not been for the title company.

Our realtor was awesome! He found us a home that fits our family perfectly. Being a first time home buyer, we were very nervous and didnt know what to expect. He was there to answer all our silly questions at all times. He worked around our schedules. He was awesome! Ive already recommended him and Listing Leaders to a couple friends (we closed 2 weeks ago).
