I met Dennis over 30 years ago, we were colleagues in the aviation industry. It was there that I noticed Dennis' attention to detail. He had the ability to multitask and keep on point because of his attention to detail. Now 30+ years later I find myself moving back to North Texas and needing a realtor to assist in a new residence. From the first meeting I could see that attention to detail I noticed so many years ago was still alive. Dennis listened to all my housing wishes, my dos and don’ts, and within 3 days we made an offer that was accepted. The house Dennis led me to was exactly what I had in mind! Over my life I’ve worked with many realtors, some good, some not so good. But I can honestly say Dennis has been the best. We went from an offer to closing in 4 weeks and I credit it all to Dennis.
