Nancy has done a great job from the beginning. We are from out of state and she lined up multiple homes for us to look at when we came to NC and she took her time to show us all around the area. Nancy helped us find our dream house, and with us being from PA, she has gone above and beyond helping us every step of the way right until closing. It's truly been a great experience working with Nancy! Thank you Nancy!

We recently bought a house and the seller was using them as an agent. When we had the house inspection there was multiple small issues that we simple fixes but had only asked for 3 of them to be addressed. Biggest being the air handler/electric had terrible corrosion on outside of the unit and was very dirty. They used a hvac person who has been doing his own business unliscescned to inspect the unit. And put HVAC duct tape on multiple spots to try to fix the pan drain. . He said it was in working condition just a lot of corrosion. As a person who works in the HVAC plumbing business for 12years
