TERRY ELLINGSON has been my family's realtor for years! I can tell you he's a real Energizer Bunny! He doesn't stop! He started out early in the morning 'til late at night! He's diligently looking out for you. You can ask him anything and expect a quick response from him. Every house observations we did, although some of them we liked, he managed to point out certain problems that we missed which would of caused us lots of headaches in the long run! (Thank you so much for doing that!) He doesn't rush us but told us to be patient and keep on looking for the right house to come.--After all houses are like people they come in all shapes and sizes, you'll definitely fine one for your liking! Way to go Terry!!

Terry Ellingson was a great help in getting my home on the market quickly. It sold in 2 days!! He gave me suggestions and kept me well informed from the beginning through closing.

Terry Ellingson was wonderful. As first time homebuyer's we didn't know what to expect. His advice was unmatched, he was understanding, and with us in every step of the process. He also referred us to a wonderful loan officer at First International Bank & Trust which made the process so much easier. His guidance was so personable -- when talking about selling us a home he would say "If I wouldn't sell my daughter this house, I wouldn't sell you this house", it was such a simple gesture that not only felt like he cared, but also made us feel that we were in the right hands on this one. We really appreciated the honesty. Now we are in a home that we love, in a great neighborhood with everything we wanted, which is pretty much all you could ask for. Thanks so much, Terry!
