WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Doug was fantastically attentive during the closing process, always checking in to see how we were, and asking if he could do anything to make life easier. It was a long, stressful process and Doug was there every step of the way to provide information and calm our nerves. I would 1,000% recommend working with Doug!"
