Client Testimonials

Ted actually helped us find a new home AND sell two homes. He was beyond helpful with everything. When looking for a home, Ted didn't waste our time…My husband and I are really busy so this meant a lot to us….he always had plenty of houses lined up for us to look at and he acted as our personal chauffeur. He really knows Simi, so he knew exactly where to take us….and ultimately he found us our beautiful new home. Selling the other two was a breeze…Ted took care of everything. No complaints here!

Ted's continuing knowledge of local real estate markets enabled an immediate, correct valuation of the house we sold. Calm and competent throughout the process, he remained unflappable through the invevitable hurdles. His escrow team at Keller Williams were perfect.
