Testimonials
I live and work in Buffalo, New York and was desperately looking to find a property for my parents to spend the Winter. I was telling my colleague Claire at work about my concern for my parents spending another Winter in Buffalo, so she told me about Ray. She said she knew Ray from high school and that they kept in touch. She offered to talk to Ray and from that day on, Ray was there for us! He offered us a lot of options until we found exactly what we were looking for. We were able to rely on Ray and his team for everything. We never even saw the house till after we paid and closed! We trusted Ray because of his professionalism and friendly nature. Ray advocated for us and treated us like family! He went and looked at the house, researched the property. We were happy with his assessment and signed off on the sale; eventually when we were able to see the house a few weeks after closing we were very pleased! Ray and his team were very helpful and they made it very convenient for us with digital communications that fit our schedules. He even went with the inspector and sent us videos of any possible issues. A truly amazing experience. I still thank my colleague I work with every time I see her, for introducing us to Ray! Thank you Ray and team, we can't wait to buy our next house with you and your team! Especially since my parents love the house so much now, they say they may never leave, so I need to find another house :-)
