Client satisfaction is second nature to Garrett, his dedication to people continues on past just the home transaction, he truly cares for each of the people he is given the opportunity to help.

“A home is more than just a financial commitment, it’s a sacred feeling of comfort, and most importantly it’s the gathering space to cherish memories for years to come. I couldn’t imagine doing anything other than helping people obtain such an important space, it’s a passion that will always give me great honor.”
