Jennifer Darby Metzger, Broker-Owner said, "Time flies when you do what you always enjoy, with focus on our buyers, sellers and our Realtor salespersons, working each day to assist for their success. I do remember the days I studied for my salesperson and then my broker licensing. Seems like yesterday, though it's now thousands of transactions later. We've certainly grown and it's because of the dedication of our wonderful teammates and business professionals who focus with us."

Welcome to the new ERA," added Darby.
