"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.

We would recommend Ever to any type of buyer and will certainly use him for any future real estate needs that we have."
