Cori and Jason were relocating to the Austin area and wanted to buy a house. We looked at about 15 homes during 4 shopping trips and identified a winner. I helped them negotiate price and terms and today we closed and funded. They are moving into their home and are very excited to be in Austin and in their new home. Congratulations to Jason and Cori.
