BUYER

Minna Reid with Killebrew and Company Realty was amazing! I did my whole buying process from overseas while on deployment and she was the only reason the process went as well as it did. She is very thorough. communicates very well, and will go above and beyond for you! Best realtor I've ever had! I will be using her again in the future for my next investment property buy

We went through a short sale and Minna's team was amazing every step of the way. They made a very sad and stressful time seem easier by handling all the little details. They always stayed positive and put us in contact with an amazing legal team. We couldn't be more pleased.
