“From start to finish, perfection. Lacking the words to adequately express my sentiments, this comes with deep, deep thanks for what you have accomplished for my family and me…The decision to let go of Windsor Arms fifty-five years later did not come easy, seemed perhaps odd; who would but do such a thing? You and Dave (owner’s attorney) saw me through it, with extraordinary professionalism, wisdom, great care, and fortunately too, humor.” Roelina Berst, owner.
“I have known Bob for 25 years….He worked hard to find the perfect buyer for the property and went “above and beyond” to do so. Bob’s efforts played a key role in our successful sale.” Chris Benis, Attorney
