Dusty started the kick off and brought Casey in to help from the Tennessee side. My story could make a book with title problems, Covid issues at the courts, and just the length of time this deal took (two years). Both of these men took care of me and my brother. I will never forget these two men keeping in touch with me just to see how things were going. Your team did a great job. This could make a great story for a young Specialist to learn from the seller’s point and the agents."
