Testimonials

Real peoples’ real experiences

Chamise handled legal requirements for the purchase of our franchise, as well as negotiated the lease for our property. Throughout the process, Chamise was extremely attentive to us by careful dialogue to assess requirements and the order of their priority. She patiently explained any specifics we were not familiar with and negotiated terms favorable to us wherever possible.

I have had clients work with Chamise for the past nine years. I always ask the clients to rate the experience with her. I always get glowing reports with comments like: “Professional, knowledgeable, great listener, explains things to me in plain old simple English & accommodating. Several years ago Chamise opened up her schedule late in the day the Friday before Memorial Day weekend to do a FDD & contract review with one of my clients in the NE. You & your interests are in good hands with her.
