I thought selling would be overwhelming, but, the Jim Starwalt: Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Star Homes group put me at ease. Communication was given during the entire process, all questions were answered timely and reminders were sent on a regular basis. I didn't have the level of anxiety I anticipated, they handled it all and in no time my home was sold and the process was great. Definitely would use them again to buy or sell if the need arises.
