"Clearly among the best..."
I have quite a bit of experience with real estate agents and Arthur is clearly among the best I have ever worked with. He went over the top, even knocking on doors to solve problems and find the perfect home for our family. He works very hard for his clients and is upstanding, ethical and extremely fair. He saved us a lot of money during the negotiations too! If you are on the fence about whether it is worth it to hire a real estate agent, I strongly suggest you get off that fence and hire Arthur. You won’t be disappointed!
