To put it plainly they were the most straightforward team we encountered

Jake and Liz were the best and easiest agents to deal with in the area in our experience. We were on the trail for quite a few months and had interactions with most agents in the Newport / Avalon market. They got to know what we were looking for, kept us informed with suitable properties and were very accommodating with unscheduled inspections. To put it plainly they were the most straightforward team we encountered. Once we identified the right property the process was easy. Thank you both 🙏

Highly recommended!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Jake. The fact that he achieved the sale of our Newport home during a terrible property market slump says it all. Highly recommended!
