"I was able to get a hold of Ryan whenever I had a question. He was responsive and made the process really easy. Ryan helped make the conversation with the seller really easy. He advocated for us and made sure our deal went through."

"I was annoyed that the appraiser required a second visit and inspection items such as smoke detectors and a stair railing. Everyone involved (agents, lawyers) said that was beyond what appraisers normally do. It cost us extra money and time. We would have implemented the safety precautions before we moved in."
