Here are just a few of the great things that past buyers and sellers are saying about Howard:
•Howard was great! He provided full transparency through the entire process and negotiated accordingly. We would highly recommend Howard for anyone interested in buying a house in the area. He was prompt, easily reached and just a pleasure to work with. Absolute great guy. – A. Colman
•I just closed on the sale of my single family rental home in Hagerstown, MD and am so happy I chose Howard to work with. Howard understood the local market and put together a plan and pricing that helped sell my house very quickly at top price. As I live over an hour away, I needed someone that could handle the details, respond quickly, and set me up for success. I would recommend Howard to anyone looking for a knowledgeable realtor that understands the ins an outs of all the local markets. – D. Kaufman

•Howard was very generous with his time, taking us all over his territory. When we found the house we wanted, it had a few major home inspection issues. We were working on a tight time frame and he kept on top of getting them resolved. Everything went very smoothly and we recommend him strongly. He also has had great recommendations for companies to get repair
