Will was a pleasure to work with!Travis Martinez
I decided to sell my house in Big Bear, so I contacted a few realtors.  After looking at Will’s marketing plan to sell my house and his realistic evaluation of the market value of my house, I decided to list my house with Will’s team.  Other realtors gave me decent evaluations, but no one had such a strong marketing plan as Will’s team.   Within a week after it hit the multiples, I received a strong offer.  After brief counter offers the property was put into escrow.  …James Evans

Will was a real treat to work with…professional, experienced and he sold our home the first weekend it was on the market. We had a difficult buyer and if it wasn’t for Will “talking me off the ledge” a number of times, I’m sure I would have blown the sale. He’s calm and cool under pressure and made selling our home easy. Thanks Will.Christie Walker

First the contractor (or you if you desire to tackle your home on your own) should always pressure wash the home, and use a mild cleaning solution for natural wood finishes. Pressure washing will remove most debris such as pollen, sap and dirt. Always read the directions as most will recomend to wet the surface first. Be sure to  ...read more
