Helped me buy home • 2026

Rory is a great agent to work with and probably the only one my family and I will ever work with. He knows the in's and out's of the industry and processes, and is willing and able to walk you through the whole process step by step. He is also willing to listen to what your expectations are on a property and makes his best judgment accordingly when recommending to view a property. Rory seems most interested in helping people find their forever home instead of pressuring you into something just to make a sale, and that is the winning quality in my book. 10/10 would recommend anyone to call rory when in need of an agent.

Working with Rory was truly one of the best decisions we made during our home journey. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable.His wealth of knowledge of the market was incredible— he knew exactly how to guide us, whether it was pricing, negotiating, or timing. We always felt like we were in the best hands. What really stood out was his responsiveness and dedication. No question was ever too small, and he was always quick to provide clear, honest answers.Beyond his professionalism, he genuinely cared about finding the right home for us—not just any home. He listened, understood our needs, and advocated for us every step of the way. It never felt transactional; it felt personal.If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly invested in your success, we cannot recommend him enough.

As first time homebuyers, Rory was everything we needed in a realtor. He took time to walk us through all the steps in the homebuying process, and had good recommendations for and inspector and a mortgage lender. His technical house/building knowledge was also very handy, and he was able to point out potential risks effectively in the homes we looked at. We would highly recommend!

Rory did an outstanding job helping us find our new home. From scheduling multiple showings in opposite directions to helping us put in an offer on a Sunday, he made the entire process seamless. He is professional, knowledgeable, not pushy, prompt, great at communicating, trustworthy, and has a personal touch that makes buying a home comfortable and non-intimidating. I consider our entire home-buying team family and highly recommend Rory for any home selling or purchasing needs....he definitely goes above and beyond!

Rory is the absolute best! He was very patient as my home-buying search took a year due to continuously evolving relocation plans. He was readily available for showings and for questions via text/calls. His experience and insights were invaluable as we looked at homes. When I found my dream home, he made my purchase a quick and seamless process. Rory is professional, friendly, genuine, and a pleasure to work with. I give him my highest recommendation.
