What struck me most was that when I asked a question, I got an honest response, and when the facilitators didn't know the answer, they knew where to look up the information and get back to us about it. One of the great aspects was that there was an attorney present to give answers "from a legal point of view". Lastly, the handouts were clear and concise--really helpful and not something to put away in a binder forever and always. I would recommend this seminar to anyone who is planning to buy or sell a home and is new to the world of real-estate.

Tamika and James Wright

When we decided to sell our home and look for a new one, we firmly resolved not to make any compromises and to settle only for the house we really wanted, with all the attributes we chose as ideal. We realized this would take a good while, and so we warned our agent that he needed to be very patient; we did not want to feel rushed. It took two whole years to find the house of our dreams and Mr. Bruno stayed the course all the way. He is like Job: perseverant to the end. Note that we only wrote one contract on a house, and it was for the one we bought, thanks to the help and guidance of our agent.

I wanted to write you to tell you how much your experience in real estate made my purchase of a house so easy. Your ability to qualify me for a house was fast, and by using your website, I was able to make my selection of houses from my home. And after I chose the house you did the rest: inspections, appraisal and finally the loan. Even settlement was a breeze-you made it all happen smoothly.

Marcus is a fast worker and reliable. I loved the electronic document service you used; it was super convenient for me considering I was in school and always on the go and unable to make it a office. And Marcus was always there to calm me down when things were getting complicated and frustrating, things expected in the real estate business.

Your step-by-step advice and guidance on specifics with which I was unfamiliar truly proved helpful, especially as I had never sold a home before. I got to know you personally and I appreciated how you thoroughly discussed and advised, "one-on-one", on all the contracts that came in.
