Richard MacDonald has been amazing! He was extremely patient to teach us about the Hilton Head market as we began our search. He was always prepared and had done all the legwork for us. Through numerous issues with the house, Richard was on top of everything, even after the closing. Hes professional, thorough, accessible, and super easy to deal with. He was our advocate in every step. We cant say enough good things about Richard!
