  • "Peggy Wester kept a very difficult sale on the right track. Not only representing me the seller but correcting errors the other agent kept making. Through all this she communicated with me to constantly keep me updated. She handled this with kindness and helped keep me stay on an even keel. My wife recommended Peggy because of her knowledge of how to use current technology. My wife had worked in realestate for many years and was always impressed by her knowledge and how she represents her clients. She is more than anyone could ask for, and is now what I consider my life long friend.
