William Folger
"I've sold homes the week they were listed and found buyers their dream house before it hit the market. Lakemoor rewards preparation and local knowledge — and that's exactly what I bring."
"I know that a house on a cul-de-sac in one subdivision sells differently than one on a through street in another. I know which builders in the new construction communities are worth the premium and which ones to negotiate harder with."
"Any questions? Just ask us."
