"Mr. Ward is the best you can find out there when it comes to buying a house. He breaks down the process to you from beginning to end. He ensures you are getting the best and only the best. He is kind hearted, patient, polite, attentive, competent, enthusiastic, easy going and I could go on and on, Mr. Ward made my dream a reality. James Ward is the man you want to help you along the way. My son loves his new home all thanks to the Teacher Next Door program and Mr. Ward and his team. Thank you!"
"I would give Sheff 10 stars if I could! Buying a home does not have to be stressful or scary and Sheff will take care of you every step of the way! We switched from a very well-known mortgage company to Sheff with the Teacher Next Door Program. I immediately felt at-ease on the phone talking to him. He explained every step of the home buying process so I would understand everything I was doing. He made the whole thing so stress-free. I felt like he was cheering us on the whole time and wanted what was best for us. Even with switching lenders halfway through the home buying process, Sheff and his team were able to get us to close on our house on the same date that the other lender had promised. Overall, Sheff and his whole team are amazing, and I would recommend them to anyone—especially first-time home buyers."
"Buying a home could be a very overwhelming experience if you do not have the right people on your side. Mrs. McLean's expertise on the home purchasing process definitely alleviated this burden for me and my family. I knew she was going to be the right person to work with from the very first time we viewed a property together. She understood my overwhelming life as a teacher and made accommodations without hesitation to work around my schedule. Mrs. McLean is very knowledgeable and understood what my family needed from the beginning. She always knew what to say when times got difficult and gave a generous part of her commission to help with closing costs! The house she found, it’s the perfect home for us!"
