I am in awe how amazing Pat Cruz guided Me threw the stressful process of selling my home. Her honestly and professionalism was the reason I went with W&S Real Estate. In a week she got a great offer!! She went above and beyond to answer my questions on her phone day or night. I highly recommend to anyone to use this company and make sure you ask for Pat Cruz.

Once I had decided it was time to buy my first home, a friend of mine recommended that I contact Williams & Stuart for an agent. My agent Tommy St. Lawrence responded to my inquiry on the website with a few questions about what I was looking for and within a day I was using their online tool to search for exactly what I wanted. It was user friendly and easy to mark my favorites. To say Tommy was responsive is an understatement. He would get back to me at any hour on any day, usually within minutes, and provide an informative and enthusiastic answer. He also went well out of his way several times

Nobody knows Rhode Island better than Patricia Cruz.
Pat is an outstanding agent to work with. She is a skilled listener and negotiator, with very in-depth knowledge of the local market. My husband and I met Pat at an open house back in March, immediately we realized her professionalism, engaging, friendly and honest persona. She was extremely patient and generous with her time, we never felt pressure and always felt she had our back. Finally after many months we found our dream home and Pat's negotiation abilities helped us to win. We would highly recommend Pat to friends and family.

We had the pleasure of working with Susanna Lorente and would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase. She was incredibly thoughtful and responsive throughout our entire home buying process. We had a rather lengthy window between signed P&S and close date and she was constantly following up with us, giving us updates when it was available. Amongst lots of back and forth in the process with the seller and their representation, Susana was consistently a strong advocate for us providing sound guidance and always having our best interest in mind. Thank you kindly Susana!
