Testimonial

"Josh and Eric were great to work with. As first time home buyers, it was no understatement to say we 'knew nothing' about anything involved with the home buying process. Josh was always a phone call away for all of our questions. At one point during the process Josh said to us, 'everything is taken care, just sit back and relax!' He was right! We got into our first home much easier and cheaper than we anticipated. We are very pleased with the entire process and would highly recommend using Josh and Eric when buying a home!"
