“We found Jennifer through Zillow when we started our house hunting search. For our first house of interest, she was very responsive and went the extra mile to get us what we needed. We had no experience in the process and she helped us along the way. Referred us to a great mortgage team, attorney, and inspectors. We had a great team put together and we kept them along the way until we found our perfect home. The whole process was smooth and easy. Jennifer is great to work with and has the personality you would want going into buying a home. Being a first time home buyer we had the expectation that it would be very difficult. But on our end it was a piece of cake. And we have Jennifer to thank for it. Now that we have the house, we are still asking Jennifer advice on referrals for different projects. We highly recommend Jennifer!” - Liz and Russ

The entire process was impressive. - Dana and Michael 10/16/2019
