We would highly recommend Becca. She went well above and beyond for us in the sale of our previous house and getting us into our dream home! She was quick to get back to us and answer any of our questions and or concerns. She handled the few hiccups we had with ease. Nothing but great things to say!
"nothing but great things to say!"
Becca is very easy to work with and guided us through our first home buying purchase smoothly!
"very easy to work with"
Becca is so sweet and knowledgeable. I’ve worked for her and seen her in action with clients and would recommend her 1000%!
"would recommend her 1000%!"
Becca is so wonderful to work with! She listens, gives advice but never oversteps, and is on your side throughout the whole process. So refreshing to work with someone who communicates effectively. Becca made this process doable for us…recommend 100%!!!
