"Met Genie years ago and knew she was going to be our agent. She is incredible, hardworking, knowledgeable and the one you want in your corner when it comes time to negotiate. Michelle was also absolutely phenomenal. She went above and beyond to help our family and has created a life-long relationship with us. Michelle and Genie are a force to be reckoned with and we feel lucky have had them as our realtors!"

"Genie and Michelle have been fantastic! Best experience with a realtor I have been had. Both were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and clearly had my family’s best interest in mind - I never once felt like they were pushing us to buy or do anything that wasn’t to our benefit- can’t thank them enough."

"Genie is fantastic! It took us a lot of years to finally find the home we were looking for. She never rushed us, or pushed us. With each home we viewed she was able to understand more and more what we were looking for. Genie made the whole process of buying our first home quite easy, she was there to walk us through each step and answer any questions we had."
