Shannon and Jim were great to work with! They made it easy for us, as sellers, to get our home ready to show and provided great support materials and online postings to sell our home for top dollar. They listened to our concerns and needs and gave us great service to fill those needs and concerns. We would recommend them to anyone and feel very fortunate to have them as our agents!
