About these stories

  • We ask every client for a short note after closing. We publish a first name and last initial, and we never change the substance of what someone wrote.

  • Often, yes. Several past clients have offered to take a call from people considering working with us. Ask your agent and we will make an introduction.

  • Please do. Reply to your closing email or use the contact form, and tell us whether we may publish it.

  • We read all of it and reply to all of it. When a note points out something we could do better, we say what we changed.
