If you are looking for a realitor and up in the air on who to go with. You can stop searching and trust me when i say go with leanne Willkins. She is the best. She helped us sell our starter home and also helped us buy our dream property. I know the market is crazy right now and selling is effortless. But we had a very unique situation and it was alot of work and trouble for everyone. But she made it alot easier on us. If it wasn't for her we would of stopped our process completley. She earned every penny she worked for. Willing to help. Friendly. And ALWAYS responded to every text and phone call

I've dont like relitors that tell you walhat you want to hear over what you need to hear. I am sure some people prefer that personally I prefer the truth or at the very least hearing you honest opinion. I just know I will never use them again.
