“It makes a huge difference and takes a lot of stress out of the process when your realtors execute the way Powell Fine Homes Group does. Do not waste your time with any other real estate firms. We trust and recommend this team 100%”
David F
“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."

I am so happy to have worked with Kirsten and Rick!”
