Favorite Garman Difference: The G Team
As a buyer's agent, this is by far the EASIEST builder to work with. Their contracts are short and to the point as well as easy for my buyers to read. I am all about efficiency and customer service, Garman provides both! The sales team has been a knowledgeable asset. There are so many incompetent on-site agents, when you run into one that knows what they are doing, they stand out. Looking forward to closing this deal!
