It was, as usual, an absolute pleasure working with you and you know that I recommend your services every chance I get!
A home on Withrow got my sellers 105,000 over asking price, a home on Fallingbrook sold in under 2 months after being on the market for 6 months with no offers, Dartnell sold right away at full price within a day on the market…What can I say. There hasn’t been a single miss yet.
The house sold for 801,550. Thats 52,000 more than we thought we would get. Your staging was what sealed the deal. Thanks again for your invaluable help.
