Posted on Margarida CastroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Telefonei ao Steve sem o conhecer ou ter qualquer indicação, objetivo comprar uma loja. Desde o primeiro dia que eu senti que tinha feito o telefonema certo. Pontualidade, educação , simpatia e acima de tudo muito profissionalismo. O negócio não foi fácil por causa dos valores, mas ele nunca desistiu e graças a ele chegamos a um acordo. Tratou de tudo e apresentou -me tudo o que eu pedia para ver ,para me sentir segura, acta ,recibos,condomínios ect. Foi mais que um vendedor foi um parceiro para ambas as partes nunca negligenciando nem o vendedor nem o comprador. Apesar a minha ausência tratou de tudo mantendo -me sempre a par. Fizemos a escritura ontem , correu tudo lindamente, não faltou nada , o Vendedor uma simpatia a Dra do Notário uma excelente profissional.
