Thanks a million Walla Walla You have no idea what this means to us.

We strive to continue a tradition of deep appreciation for our customers.

Since 1872, Green & Jackson has delivered the best possible customer service and health care solutions.

In a time when independent Medical Supply Stores have to struggle to remain open, Green & Jackson has continued to find solutions to medical reimbursement cuts. It is only because of our loyal customers that we continue to survive the health care roller-coaster.

Therefore to quote a phrase from Orrin Danielson, previous owner of Green & Jackson, “Thanks a million”.

“I want to say thank you to all of our loyal customers for voting me as the Best of the Best Real Estate Broker for 2012. We pride ourselves on taking a team approach in order to reach the goals of our buyers and sellers. In an ever changing Real Estate environment, it takes an experienced team to understand and adapt to changing times. A “toolbox” full of the best service providers (Title Companies, Escrow services, lenders etc.), are key for a successful real estate transaction. I especially want to thank my mother, Shirley Corbett for her 40 plus years of Real Estate knowledge and bookkeeping skills. In addition, I thank Don Hanson, broker, and all of Lloyd’s support staff for their dedication and professionalism.

With humble appreciation to our great community… thank you.”
