    James Durham is a fantastic broker for investors! Very investor friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
  • Seller review
    Debra Kirkland was very informative while guiding me through my first home sale. It was times I felt frustrated through the process, from no fault of her own, and she made sure we found a solution to each hiccup we encountered. I looked forward to speaking to her throughout the ordeal because she had a way to make the process smoother with her knowledge. I highly recommended her!
