5-star Google review from Laura Kloeti:
“We recently sold our business with Hickey & Foster Real Estate. There were many moving parts to this sale, and Steve Foster was really wonderful. He was very knowledgeable, with a clear understanding about what we might expect throughout the process and he was extremely helpful assisting us in navigating through the complicated issues. We always felt that we had an ally in him and would recommend him any time!
When we had to deal with a fire inspection issue with our staircase, requiring an immediate professional opinion, Mike Hickey, who has a builder background, came right over to check things out for us.
Steve also has a calming spirit which is something that we truly appreciated. The sale of a business can often become personal and very stressful. He kept things clear, acted as an excellent liaison between us, the sellers and other parties, was always available to us, and did it all in a kind, respectful manner that we appreciated very much. In the end, we left feeling that we not only sold our beloved business, but made some new friends at Hickey & Foster!”
