Harris
They represented us professionally and, given the lousy market, persistently. Excellent communication on strategy, tactics and how our property was being represented in the marketplace. Superb service included guidance on how best to stage, actual staging included frequent open houses. The fact that their business includes home management made for seamless support in our absence. Highly recommended.
