Comments from Past Students

Thank you so much.  I just again wanted to express our gratitude for the class you taught last week.  As a couple considering out options to buy a new home it was very helpful and I had thought we had done our homework!  It was great learning the roles of people in the process and different parts of the process on a local level.  It was a great class and I would recommend it highly.  Those handouts are great, so far we do not have any questions but we still have some reading to do and planning.  If anything comes up I am glad you are available for help. Thank you again, Kristen and Andrew
