With the help of Rene and Catherine, my husband and I bought our first home in 2018. I'll never forget either of them. They were basically at our beck and call 24/7 during the entire process & trust me, I had tons of questions. I'd recommend them to anyone!!

I wanted to share my experience working with Lichenstein Rowan! Right from my initial call I received great customer service. My call was returned within 2 hours by Angie Moore who was responsive and engaged from the first moment we spoke! She came over within a day of our initial conversation so we could discuss any changes needed before putting our home on the market. We also had unusual showing requirements in that we did not want to show on Friday afternoons or Saturdays, Angie was completely accommodating and arranged for all of the potential buyers to visit during the times we requested.

Jeff Osborne represented us in the sale of our home this past fall of 2018. We were wonderfully surprised with the ease of this process and the quickness of the sale. The description of our property and the very realistic photos which accompanied was excellent. An outstanding job resulted in a quick sale with an agreeable outcome for all involved. Thank you Jeff. It was a great experience. Our home was located at 6742 Upper Craig Creek Rd Catawba Va
