Dear Deb and Ariela, I cant thank you enough for all the work you have put in on this project. You have been therapists and cheerleaders, project managers, and...realtors! There is no way I could have managed this without the two of you on my side. This is the one area in this entire process of taking care of my aunt that I feel 100% confident about that I found the right people for this huge job. So please let me treat you to some food as you continue on this journey with me. - Stephanie "I would highly recommend working with you or Deb to anyone interested in buying, selling, or renting!
