Meet Jeffrey Dillingham.... Realtor/life saver
Where do I even begin with Jeff? Do me a favor, type amazing into a thesaurus. See all those words that pop up? Yep... they all describe him. Jeff has been a close personal friend of mine for over ten years now. We have experienced highs and lows together, but one thing has remained constant; his character and integrity. I seriously cannot say enough good about this man.
Recently Jeff was my own personal Realtor for buying my first home, and ladies and gentleman, let me tell you, I think I would have lost my mind without him. He assisted me every step of the way, never made me feel silly for all the "first-time-homebuyer-scared-straight-what-the-heck-am-I-doing" questions I had and Jeff went that extra mile every step of the process.
Whether you are about to be newlyweds and looking for your first home, or about to retire and looking to find that perfect porch to sit on, or anything in between, Jeff is the man you want on your side.
