“I wish I had met Jeff sooner in my condo sale process. My condo had been on the market for 2 months with another agent and we had zero offers. Within 2 days of putting it back on the market (this time with Jeff) …I had 3 offers! He was amazing, energetic and well-knowledge in how to approach the sale of my condo.
