- Zach

She is so prompt and on top of everything that goes into house hunting, and she's very adaptable to your needs and requests.

- Cricia

She was so helpful in so many ways by not only educating us but taking the time to answer any and every question we had. She was so laid back and never made us feel rushed or pushed into anything. She let us learn and look at our own pace. She was very open and flexible, she would go look at houses last minute with us out of excitement. 

"Taylor was the perfect agent for us."
