Professional. Thorough. Knowledgeable. There are other adjectives to describe the work Mr. LeFante and his team did for me. I was “in contract” to buy a house which passed inspection but failed the “final walk-through.” Mr. LeFante’s efforts saved us from being stuck in a lemon of a home. Dear reader, I hope you will… Read more “Charles Beall”
