Jerry and Tammy believe that your choice of realtor is crucial when entering into a property purchase or sale. Your agent is given trust and responsibility to manage what will be a very impactful experience, both personally and financially. Your transaction must be executed with the highest level of professional service, handled with sensitivity and discretion, and will involve the management of many moving parts:
Marketing, reviewing documents, market research, advising and counseling, negotiation, associated services such as inspections and appraisals, a fiduciary responsibility to do what is best for you, and the list goes on…
With over 20 years of real estate experience between them, their extensive market knowledge and unmatched devotion to clients earned Jerry, “Salesperson of the Year” and numerous other awards. Their success is demonstrated in their powerful client testimonials. Referrals are a key part of Tammy and Jerry’s business and they continually earn the respect of clients by working tirelessly on their behalf and striving every day to exceed their clients’ expectations.
Jerry’s Bachelor’s Degree in City Planning and Tammy’s Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Education certainly add significant value in what their partnership can offer to their clients.

"Tammy and Jerry are simply the best! Not only are they extremely knowledgeable and experienced, they're just great people to work with. And you get two of them! They showed us a cabin on a remote island, and took us there on their own speed boat. They spent a lot of time with us, exploring not only the cabin but the island as well. As you can imagine they were many considerations and surprises in buying such a property. They were so helpful in putting together an offer that protected our interests. While we secured the position of first accepted offer with their help, we ended up backing out. Thanks to them, we were able to do so without issue. Again, excellent agents and wonderful people. I highly recommend them!"
by Anne Miller"Tammy and Jerry are a great team. They worked with me to buy an unusual property with few comps and plenty of issues. It was anything but the standard purchase. I saw plenty of potential in the property, but I was unsure of how to assess the price to value ratio. They did a fantastic job at negotiating with the seller, answering my questions, giving me guidance and providing boots on the ground support with inspections, measurements and field reports as I ground through the process. They even helped by checking on things while I was out of town to make sure a deep freeze caused no harm. In the end, I made the purchase with full confidence!"
by Billy Gogesch"Tammy and Jerry were great to work with and go the extra mile. They are great to work with. We would use them again. We are on the opposite coast they kept us informed and did a great job helping us find our perfect home."

They were responsive, thoughtful, and proactive. They showed me all sorts of properties, wrote multiple offers, provided guidance and emotional support and saw it through to the completion of the purchase. They are amazing realtors! I can not stress enough their level of professionalism and aptitude! I highly recommend them! Thank you Tammy and Jerry for all you did to help me get into my home"
