-Bryan Flanagan, Client
"We used Jim Augustine of Coldwell Banker to purchase a home and to sell our existing home. This process was a major downsizing for us and involved many hours of examining homes online and in person to find a home that we wanted to live in for the next years of our lives. Jim Augustine was very helpful during this process, doing numerous searches to locate differing types of houses in many different neighborhoods. Jim guided us through the negotiations and closing activities on both our old and new home. His constant monitoring of the process was invaluable for us. "
