"My Mom passed away 1/31/21 needless to say it was a very difficult time for me. I needed help selling my mothers home. I reached out to Ever and he stepped up big! From the beginning he was a true professional great communication skills, great attitude, always made time for me and answered any questions I had. He showed compassion for my situation and went above and beyond to make things as easy as possible for me. Go with Ever you won’t regret it!"

"I worked with Ever through the process of an Estate Sale and sale of a condominium. Throughout the experience he and his team were extremely helpful. I had never been involved with an estate sale previously and was working with the additional factor of not being local. After an initial meeting I was able to deal with he and his team remotely which simplified the entire process and experience. Any questions or issues I had were very quickly addressed and resolved. My entire experience was very positive. Thank You!"

"Ever was simply excellent. He is thorough, approachable and very knowledgable of the house buying process. We appreciated his manner and help throughout our purchase process - he never made us feel pressured to select a house and helped us find a perfect match. He was especially helpful when we needed to juggle urgent travel during the Escrow process, helping us set up power of attorney. We would recommend Ever to any type of buyer and will certainly use him for any future real estate needs that we have."
