CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
· We recently had the opportunity to work with one of your agents, Steve Sumption. We had been looking in the area for a time, but were unable to locate any properties that fit our needs. When we called your agency we spoke to Steve,
and he discussed our needs at length. We went to your Lewes Delaware office to
meet with Steve, and he presented us with a great list of homes and an area map
to locate them. Steve did an outstanding job understanding our needs. His
professionalism in handling our search was remarkable. In our opinion, Steve is
an outstanding asset to your company, and we would highly recommend both him and your agency. Michael and Sandy
