"Bill handled the sale of my father-in-law's home after he passed away. It was a difficult time for us, but Bill was understanding and helpful. He is a caring, friendly, pleasant and knowledgeable person who kept us up to date on all developments and provided us with honest and sound advice throughout the entire process. He has an excellent feel for the real estate market which helped us to get the right price for our house. In our case, we had three potential buyers back out for various personal reasons, but Bill continued to work hard for us and always maintained a positive attitude. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking to sell a house, especially during these difficult times."
Response: "Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments."

"Bill handled the estate sale of my parents' family home, the one I grew up in and which had seen better days, with just the right combination of professionalism and compassion. He was always well prepared when we met, was extremely helpful in setting a fair price (higher than I anticipated), produced plenty of offers in a very short time, worked well with my lawyer, and arranged a quick, smooth closing. He sets a high standard for diligence and ethics and I recommend him highly."
