Report
We recently bought a beautiful home with Doug Packard as our realtor. Doug went above and beyond to help us purchase this house. We trusted him to get us the best deal and he delivered 100%. He was quick to show us houses as soon as we expressed interest and he provided so much guidance for us first time home buyers. If he was not our realtor, we are certain we would not have gotten the same service. We will recommend him to any and every one looking to buy or sell a home!
