You witnessed the transition of me looking for a place for one to a home for two, married in the interim. We're grateful to have your support & wisdom on this journey. Especially during our renovation challenges." - Soo Y. & Andy, Buyers"You might remember, we had a very difficult situation with another agent before contacting you. Initially, what was most memorable to me from our first meetings was that you listened to us. Seems simple, but not always be the norm. Beyond that, you seemed to instill confidence that there was no reason we couldn't find a nice place, but at that point were growing weary and feeling defeated. In retrospect, I'd say that the biggest part of why we feel so fortunate that you were our agent was that you stayed by us through the entirety of the purchase process and rsettling into the neighborhood phase as a reliable and genuinely calming and helpful guide. You introduced us to countless people - which was a type of kindness beyond expectation." - Eric and Megan - Buyers"I have bought and sold over 30 properties, 10 at 790 Riverside, and can honestly say I have never seen the likes of Bruce & Lynne.
