Testimonials
"Smiley absolutely hit it out of the park for us. He listed our 1 bedroom condo, arranged having it staged, provided amazing photographer, up on several sources of social media in a very cool slideshow before the first open house. Had 3 offers immediately after first open house weekend and BAM, over asking, no subjects, done. Thank you very much Smiley!"
Nelson: Electrician
"Smiley recently found us our apartment. We are first time home buyers and were a little skeptical about going through a realtor. I am so glad we found Smiley. He was approachable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. We ended up buying the first place we saw largely because he took the time to listen to us and find out exactly what we were looking for and therefore didn't waste our time looking at places that wouldn't have been a good fit. He walked us through every step of the process, always found time for us and answered all our questions. He made sure that we had the building properly inspected before making any offer. When we were ready to make an offer he made himself completely available and fast tracked the process for us in order to close the deal. He completely moulded himself around our busy schedules in order to get all the loose ends tied up in time."
