We worked with John Havard on listing a property for us. We knew this would be somewhat challenging based on the location on access to the property. He went above and beyond with listing photos, communicating with us at every step, and bringing in a buyer. So appreciate his help -- don't hesitate to ring him up! :)

Had problems dealing with a different realty agency on purchasing this property (lack of communication, late or no response, failure to provide requested info, overall lack of interest in selling the property). The realtor from a different agency finally got tired of me calling so much after 3 months that he referred me to NLR. NLR's realtor was quick to respond and closed the deal very quickly.

John Ross was enthusiastic, knowledgable, and helpful in every aspect of the sale. He and his team were driven, experts in their field, and act with integrity above all else. When we buy/sell our next property, John Ross will be the first guy we call.

The agent recommended a reasonable fair price for both seller and buyer. He developed fabulous marketing material for both the internet and mailing. We got a "full asking price" response almost immediately and closed quickly.
– Leonard R. (July 23, 2017)
I am trying to sell multiple properties owned by an estate. John Ross has been extremely patient with us, knowing that there are multiple heirs (decision-makers) involved. He has been very flexible in helping keep everyone happy.
