“Let's just start with the bottom line: If you are at all interested in purchasing a home, just go ahead and call Richard Powell right now. You won't regret it and it is simply the best decision you can make as you begin the process of buying (or selling, I imagine!) a home.”
Preston H
“Highly Recommend!! We unconditionally recommend Richard and Kirsten to anyone looking to sell a home. From the first time we met with the Powell’s, we felt a strong connection and knew they would be a pleasure to work with throughout the process. They were very responsive to all of our numerous questions/concerns and showed tremendous empathy throughout the process, treating the transactions as though it were one of their own homes. The Powell’s were particularly impressive as they managed all the work around the house since we were not residing at the home or even in the area. Thank you Richard and Kirsten."
