“Jill simply went above and beyond as my realtor. As a first-time homebuyer searching for houses while living in another state, Jill was proactive to help me find a home in an active market. Once we found my perfect home, Jill served as my advocate in difficult negotiations with the builder/seller. Jill’s experience, knowledge, and attention to detail were crucial in the success of the purchase of my first home. I trust Jill and would highly recommend her to any home buyer!"
