Thank you, Angela! (Not only for putting your trust in me, but for your kind words!) No two deals are alike in the real estate world, but the one common thread that I hope shines through by now is that I treat every one of them like they are my own! (I would expect that if it was me on the other side!) Congrats on your home sale!
