"Dwayne was wonderful in helping us find our new home! He and his team walked us every step of the way through the process. I would highly commend him for your next home search"
Chuck Barry
"I love working with Dwayne. He goes above and beyond with you. He gets you information before you even have to ask for it and he is more concerned with finding you a good fit for your needs rather than just making the sale. He is just good people and a dream to work with."
Sean Cameron Hill
"Dwayne was awesome! His knowledge and expertise are top-notch! He helped us navigate through an extremely competitive and uncertain market. I highly recommend him."
Jennifer M.
"As a first time home buyer, Dwayne was great to work with because we were starting from square one. He walked us through the process in detail and explained to us everything that goes into buying a house. He was present for all relative items (appraisal, inspection, etc.) and responded immediately to any email, phone call or text. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime, for any size house!"
