"We met Warren in Las Vistas Condominium while we were vacationing. After we made an offer for a condo in the same place, he gave us specific detail @ the process of buying a condo as a foreclosure. It was admirable for me to experience his patience with my American husband, who was ambivalent due to fear. Warren was not pushy, he answered so very many questions my husband had all along. He was diligent with the legal documentation, transferring of the fees and cost of the condo. I am very grateful for how warmth personality, commitment to get us through our barriers. Most of all, he earned our trust. I would highly recommend him to people who wish to have a resourceful, honest and compassionate agent." - Graciela
