Just bought another investment property with Tim O'Leary and he is the absolute best! He explains the process thoroughly at every stage and made the whole experience stress-free and easy.

I would highly recommend Tim to anyone looking to buy/sell a home. Thank you again Tim! Jonathan & Hanna Baird, St Joseph Michigan
