    Maureen was excellent. She was receptive to my schedule and timing. I will recommend her to others." Todd Taylor, Troy

    Thank you for all your help throughout this process. I am not sure how exactly it happened, but I feel like we were very fortunate to have come to work with you and Dmitry.  As I think back on the past couple of months, I can only sit back and be amazed at the way that you both helped us along and through the process of moving.  From inspections, negotiations, decisions, visits, scheduling, you were able to keep everything in perspective for us during the process.   Being someone who is also in a customer service business, I can tell you that you do a tremendous job. Thanks for your help! Hope we can have you and Dmitry over for dinner at some point after we get settled!!!  George Maddaloni & Jeannie Tornatore

    I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help and patience during the condo shopping phase and then through the closing. I am so glad I got to work with you and I will highly recommend you to anyone I know looking for a new residence. I look forward to working with you again in the future!   Melissa Bliss, Farmington
     
    We really enjoyed working with you both. You were patient with us during the buying process and you made sure that everything went smoothly. Thank you for selling our home so quickly. We never actually thought we would get as much money as you suggested, and then you brought us an offer in just a few days. Your marketing efforts were outstanding.  Jon & Betsy Ballard, Birmingham
     
    Wow! You sold our home for full price without even putting it officially on the market. One showing and it was gone! We thought the market was bad and we wouldn't get the price you suggested. After lots of looking, you helped us find a great new home. We felt like you did a great job of understanding our needs and making us feel comfortable.  Steve & Mary Wilusz, Rochester Hills
     
    Maureen & Dmitry provided us us with outstanding support and excellent commitment in the sale of this house. We appreciate their help in this matter.   William & Nancy Senich, Sterling Heights
