I couldn't imagine working with anyone else while selling my home. The process was stressful, but my husband and I could be confident every step of the way due to Doug's guidance.

Douglas has much knowledge in his profession as a real-estate agent. He has helped me gain knowledge about the purchasing process. He makes the process go smoothly as possible with phone calls and communication and timely feedback.

I live downstate and have bought 2 properties in northern michigan with Douglas Swartz. Doug made the process so easy, he was very accomodating with my hectic schedule and was always available to answer questions or track down answers. I look forward to working with Doug again in the future.

I throughly enjoyed working with Douglas and appreciate his knowledge and the time he took to work with me. I found it very helpful how he was able to get me all the information and credentials needed before showing a house. Douglas was staright forward open and honest about his own professional opinions based on his expertise and the possibility's and or outcome of each house that was shown. He was extremely helpful during our closing period to get us closed and keys to the house even during an extreme ice storm. He made it possible. I would recommend Douglas to friends and anyone looking to sell or buy a house.
