Testimonials
I worked for years with Madeline in Seattle while she was in title. Her work ethic and caring is incredible. She takes customer service to an entirely new level. Her knowledge of the real estate transaction is amazing. Making the move to being a Realtor is a natural sequence. Her title experience will greatly enhance her ability as a Realtor
I have worked with Tom for several years and have found him to be hardworking, honest and creative. He has always presented investments that are worthwhile. I highly recommend working with him.
Tom gained our confidence by 1) presenting a properly qualified buyer, 2) doing thorough due diligence on the market and the lease, and 3) clearly explaining to the buyer the strength of Walgreens leases wherever located. His attention to detail, even-handedness, creative negotiating and oral communication skills overcame major closing issues—helping both parties achieve their goals. He was a pleasure to deal with, and I recommend Tom to both buyers and sellers of commercial properties—particularly in today’s tough real estate markets.
I found that dealing with Team Childers has been very rewarding. Honest and clear information and direction to help me reach my goal of being a home owner. Quick to reply to my questions and very thorough information provided.
