Report
I had the pleasure of working across the table from Charles and I can say without a doubt that Charles is an exceptionally strong real estate broker with outstanding negotiations skills. He is also extremely responsive to questions, often responding immediately, even after normal work hours. He also showed great attention to the details enabling the transaction to close smoothly and on time. His depth of knowledge allowed him to negotiate effectively, yet he remained tactful in all our communications--a mark of a true professional. Thank you for an easy transaction, Charles!
