Brian Pearce was was willing to go the extra mile for my home purchase. When I was willing to pay more he got it for less! Was willing to hammer out any issue after the sale.

I have worked with curtis and sons for a while now, i bought my home from them. They also helped me sell my moms home and my friends home after they passed. Which made it less stressful fir ne during a very diffucult time. So when i decided to go into real estate i decided to stick with them. Ashley Duncan is not just looking for a paycheck she is looking to make your dreams a reality!! We close on my 2nd rental next month! Thank you Ashley and all the staff at Curtis and sons!!

Posting a review on google since I posted a review on the Facebook page months ago and was told (and cursed at on the phone) that I needed to delete it by JJ Curtis himself. He deleted my review from Facebook about how unprofessional I thought he was when treating friends of mine. All I said was he was unprofessional and he took that as a bad rep for his company. Curtis and Sons might be okay to buy a house from, but I would never ever rent from this company. Taking the time to post this review on google since it cannot be deleted by the company owner, so people can know that there ARE bad reviews

Ashlee was a life saver! I inherited 9 run-down properties when my mother died. After taking a leave absence to take care of her for 6 months, I was beyond exhausted and desperate to get rid of all the properties that were just costing money. One of the properties was two hours away from my home. The kitchen was partially remodeled and didn't even have a kitchen sink. A realtor at another agency wasn't able to sell it in 6 months, but Ashlee had a contract in the house within 3 weeks! She arranged for an HVAC tech to fix an A/C issue, hired a plumber to install a sink, and even picked up a faucet
