Issaquah, WA

"Tony, you really earned our respect. You even found someone to show us around when we could only come up on a weekend you were out of town. You always returned by emails and calls promptly. I really liked the fact that you read into what we were looking for in a home. You knew the areas well and even gave pointers about the commute times I could face for work. I appreciate all that you did and would refer you to a friend or family member in the future. Thank you for everything!!!"

Jennifer & Jeff Killingsworth

It was a pleasure helping Jeff and Jennifer! They relocated to the Seattle area from Southern California for her business. I helped them buy a great Issaquah home, which I know they will enjoy for many years to come! Here is a photo:
