Reviews

Shivon and Jeanne Dosky

Kathy did an outstanding job for my wife and I. While we were looking for a property for my wife who loves the beach, we were trying to justify it by making sure it had at least a decent return. Kathy was a pleasure to work with and was always willing to write up multiple contracts to ensure we got the best possible deal. I recommend using her to anyone looking for property in the Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle areas. Our trust and degree of comfort with Kathy was so high that, when the property we had under contract was held up, we asked her to go look at another one for us and she ended up being the only one that actually saw the final property we purchased. Kathy has outstanding integrity, is very capable, and is an absolute pleasure to work with.
