Customers reviews: What They’re Saying
We recently used Rock properties to sell our home. I must admit, I fought Walt on the changes he suggested we make to the house in order to move it quickly. Our home ended up sitting on the market for several weeks. Once we broke down and made the changes he suggested, we had an offer within a week! Walt was a great asset to us in our buying/selling experience, we will definitely use him again in the future!

All it took was one short conversation and within days they had a stack of good potential properties for us to look at. I’ve had great success in the past with Rock Properties and look forward to great success in the future with them.”
