TEAM KELLER WILLIAMS REALTYRead more testimonials www.theBestofHillcrest.comon our website: vinniesd.com Vinnie has a proven track record of providing five-star services to his clients over the years. I am happy to report, that five-stars does not begin to describe the service and support my husband and I received. As first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions. Vinnie offered to meet with us for a preliminary discussion on our housing interests; during this time, he not only provided an overview of the current housing market, but also thoroughly answered our questions and made us feel at ease. My husband and I had a peace of mind when working with Vinnie, as he has been: responsive, flexible, and very hard working. Vinnie also put our interests first, even ahead of his commission. I was considering selling a condo my late grandmother gave me, and not only did he not pressure me, he told me to think about it, and look at the numbers. This is the type of quality service and dedication you can expect from Vinnie. – Jamie S. San Diego, CAThis information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
