?We could not have picked a better real estate agent for our recent home buying and selling experience Max had an expertise that made us feel comfortable from the outset, and he never disappointed Max lives in the area, knows the market very well, and has numerous helpful connections that were utilized throughout our search Max and his team helped us to secure our dream home in a wild market for a fair price that we do not believe we could have negotiated on our own

On the selling side, we were new to things and had a tight timeline Max guided us step by step and helped to keep us sane throughout this emotional process He was always responsive, calm, patient and confident without a hint of pushiness We were very pleased with the outcome of the sale

On a personal level, Max is a truly kind, warm person who clearly derives joy from his profession. It was not surprising to see that he was well respected by everyone we interacted with We couldn? t recommend him more highly?
