"Being a first-time homebuyer, I did not know what to expect. Rusty was extremely helpful and made the entire process run smoothly. He was always available to answer my questions. He took the time to walk me through every step so I understood and felt comfortable. I'm very satisfied with my first home-buying experience thanks to Rusty! I definitely recommend him to anyone!"

"Rusty was recommended by a friend to help me find a home in the Orlando area. I was moving from Pennsylvania my lifelong home to Florida, which I knew absolutely nothing about, except that my fiancé wanted to move near his family. Knowing I was flying out in June for 2 days to look at houses, Rusty worked diligently online sending possible options that would meet my exact criteria for us to look at when I arrived. I actually found two homes that I loved, but the story is too long to share, though it does attest to Rusty's saintly patience. As for the home we purchased it was meant to be thanks to Rusty’s persistence and knowledge. His client’s happiness in the home they choose is his focus, by pointing out pros and cons and not sweeping the cons under the rug in lieu of a commission. Rusty made sure all problems were addressed as if he were purchasing the home, from the simplest thing like noticing our mailbox was missing to more major concerns. We were blessed to stumble literally upon our dream home and Rusty. "

"Rusty worked with us to both sell our existing home (June 2008) and to purchase our new home (Dec 2008). Thanks to his guidance our house sold in less than three months! Rusty went above and beyond in almost every way and definitely earned every cent of his commission. He was always available via phone and email at times responding to emails minutes after they were sent. We would definitely use Rusty again and recommend him to anyone looking for a hardworking knowledgeable agent. "
Response: "Thank you for the kind words. I was very happy to help you get to the best home for your family. =)" This review has been confirmed by the reviewer.
