Wayne, you were quickly available to support us in placing our back-up offer. As first time home buyers, we were unsure what to expect of the process. You were clear and concise, answered questions promptly, checked in with us regularly, and were so kind. Your knowledge, reassurance, and efficiency helped us secure our new home. Thank you very much.

Hi Wayne And Celeste. After much deliberation, Margaret and I have decided to stay put and not move to The Valley. Sad in some ways, but not in others. We’ll miss not meeting up with you guys, for one thing. We could not have worked with a better couple. You were most kind and helpful, and always very positive and cheerful - perfect assets in your profession, we believe. If any friends or relatives are ever looking at buying real estate in your area, you will be at the top of our ‘recommend’ list.
Best wishes to you both and many thanks for all your efforts n our behalf.
Regards,
— Margaret & Mike

Working with you, Wayne made a very stressful time so much easier.

Wayne was very professional and knowledgeable. He made sure I had everything I needed to made informed decisions. He was very quick to pass on new information or respond to any questions or concerns from me. I would highly recommend Wayne to anyone selling their home. “For Sale” to “Sold” in less than two weeks!

What we liked most about you was...”Your calm, professional manner, you always got back to me promptly if I had any questions; you did NOT overlook my elderly mother and just speak to me, you gave valuable advice when an offer came in. You gave your professional opinion and respected input from us as well; you have a “professional” bearing - you inspired confidence. Selling a house is difficult for an elderly person; you made my mother very comfortable and inspired her trust & confidence. Thank You!”
