Ray handled 3 recent real estate transactions for me over the past few years and each and every one of those transactions was flawless. Ray has been in the business for a very long time and knows all the ins and outs to keep your deal on track for closing. Ray knows his stuff and goes out of his way to protect his client’s best interest. He is attentive to your needs and keeps you informed throughout the buying or selling process. You never have to guess at how the transaction is moving along. He responds right away to emails and/or phone inquiries and always has an immediate answer to any question you might have. Ray is kind, caring, and considerate. He is honest and ethical and everything is above board and in writing. In the last transaction that we did together, my buyer was so impressed with the way that Ray was handling my side of the transaction that she asked if he could take over on her side too. You will be thoroughly pleased and utterly impressed with the level of service provided by Ray Bennett Real Estate Agent. I highly recommend his services. Terry C.
