When we were looking for a property, he strived to understand what we needed, what we wanted and what we liked, and in the end, found us a great match. He did not count his hours and gave his very best to get us the best possible deal. When you're hoping to buy in such a tough market, you absolutely need a realtor that will be there every step of the way, that's competent, passionate and who cares about you, and Doug is undoubtedly that person - M.P.
