George performed in an outstanding manner as a realtor for us. We also grew to value him for his great character. He held or arranged for several open houses for our property. He thought of many ways to improve its attractiveness. He took several initiatives on his own, after consulting us, to market it. He spent a great deal of his own time working for a sale for us. After we received an offer, he helped us beneficially during the inspection phase and in the negotiation of the final details.We would recommend him 100%
Great Agent!
We listed our home in Lakeshore Village with George in June. He had an offer for us in Sept and we closed in mid Oct. Working with George was an absolute pleasure. Having been a RE broker in CA I know a good agent when I see one, and George is excellent. George is extremely knowledgeable, competent, and professional. We openly discussed various strategies for selling the home and decided on a course of action which George then implemented. As I stated previously, working with George was a pleasure. I would recommend him to anyone as an excellent agent. If they had 6 stars, I'd give him all six.
