Welcome!
 If you're looking for real estate in the Tri Cities area, we can help you choose the right property for your needs and will guide you towards making an informed real estate decision in our market. 

If you are a seller, we can guide you in priceing your property and assist you in staging your property for showings. You will receive a free estimate of your selling cost and your net proceeds. There is no money up front to pay - all your selling cost including taxes you owe will be paid for you at closing. While it is true that banks are a little bit more stringent in qualifying buyers and properties for a loan and the process might take a little longer due to added required documentation we still close on almost all of our transactions within 30 days.
