I had an incredible experience working with Tommy Kindergan. He was always available, extremely patient, and really understood what I was looking for. He took the time to learn my preferences and went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Tommy also had a strong network of professionals to help with every step of the closing. I highly recommend working with him!

Finally, a realtor who was straight forward and honest from the start. He explained the whole selling process thoroughly. There wasn’t a single step of the way where I was caught off guard by anything. Chopper was responsive with every question we had and he was always available. In an age where customer service is dying that was not the situation here. He got me a deal I never dreamed of getting. Honestly can’t say enough good things about Chopper and his WHOLE TEAM!

Choppers team was amazing. Chopper got us the best price when selling our home and we closed in 30 days. His team is dedicated, knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions and direct us through the process. We highly recommend them.
