Professional and polite. Made the apartment search easy, and even met up with me twice for viewing so I can make a definite decision on the place.

Michael Flynn

Nothing but great a experience all around to work with Shane, I’ll be honest, I was mostly interested in the sweet airborne poster but was pleasantly surprised to see he is a legit artist and was more than happy to get some prints for the home office. Thanks for being a cool dude!

Shane helped us with a purchase in the Historic District in 2014. The "Post Ike" issues were substantial, and there was no realtor on the other side of the transaction, which was handled by several children of the previous occupant. Shane covered all of the bases and did all of the leg-work. We pretty much just showed up for the closing. We've been there ever since! JCH & RLL
