CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"We certainly would use the Horne's over and over again.  They were most knowledgeable of all the facets of Sun City and assisting in getting things done correctly and timely.  Their advice to my wife and me was most welcomed and the confidence of knowing that our condo would definitely sell and for the right price.  They were most attentive in every way ... there was no question they could not answer and no deed they would not fulfill"

Harlene and Fred Leeds

" After being unsuccessful with my original agent I called the Horne Team.  It was the best decision I could have made.  I was given good advice as to how the house should "show" and was amazed when my house went back on the market and sold the first week it was listed. You are professionals and definitely know how to sell a house!"

Judie Burlingame

"Michael, there aren't enough words in my vocabulary to express our gratitude for your help in selling our home. Our circumstances were dire.. and you knew it! You let us make all the decisions concerning pricing.. yet not so low as to give the house away.  You were always profession...yet emotionally understanding when my husband suffered a heart attack and I needed so much help from you!!  You took care of all the details  which never would have been completed if left up to me. Now I can sleep at night without the worry of an extra home we no longer needed thanks to you and your staff.  Wishing you all the success you deserve!!!"
