When my sister moved back up here from TX, Samantha Walden helped us find her the perfect place. She made my sister relocating back up here seamless and we all know how moving state lines can be hectic. Sam was able to work with her budget because Core 3 has so many properties. Thank you for all you did to help my sister.
