Donald's Reviews

I wanted to write a review for Don because he is (by far) the best real estate agent we have worked with in all our 20+ years of buying/selling homes. Why? Because Don really does represent the client. I can't tell you how much this makes a difference and how bad of an experience we have had with other agents for this statement to mean something. Don listens and negotiates on your needs. He is super timely with his responses and follows up on all questions/concerns. He is a really nice guy and very kind in all his interactions. He is very thorough too which makes all the difference when you want a smooth transaction. Don't look around any further - Don is the real deal and I wish we had found him earlier on when we moved up to Traverse City as it would have saved us a bunch of heart-ache with other agents.
