My Husband and I had the extreme pleasure of dealing with Jessica with our real estate transaction through Town Crier a few years back. It was Jessica who showed us the home will live in now. We will never forget how honest she was with us and the entire purchasing process. She even stopped by a few months after to see how we were doing! She will be terribly missed.
