“Jared helped us find a beautiful home when we moved to PA. We didn’t know the area well & we appreciated his knowledge & expertise about each community. He has a great sense of humor, is so easy to work with & is extremely organized. He also helped us sell our home when we moved out of PA. He was amazing at marketing & pricing our home. We are grateful to him for helping us navigate several full price offers. He guided us through & gave excellent advice. We recommend him without hesitation to anyone buying or selling!”
