GEORGE B:
“I interviewed 4 realtors when selling our house in Bellflower and chose Cindy and Allison. They were nothing
less than awesome! They took care of everything—EVERYTHING. They hired a painter and a roofer. They had
the place staged before the open house and even had the lawn watered. When the house got bids (and it got
6 bids), they helped us understand which bid would be the best to accept. They even got a higher price on the

house than we expected. They were professional and personable. I felt that they listened to me and offered good
advice in response. I trusted them and I am so happy with the results. I whole-heartedly recommend these two
women to sell your house.”
