What Our Clients Say

House hunting from out of state was a challenge and Mike Thornton walked us through it carefully and thoughtfully - and via FaceTime! I trust his experience and his eye for a home that fit our needs.

What Our Clients Say

Mike Thornton and his team were fantastic from start to finish. He came over and layed out the strategy, he implemented the strategy, and it paid off big time.
