“I can move on with confidence”
“Thank you for your service. It was satisfying to be treated professionally and courteously at all times by you after being treated like a second class citizen by creditors. I can move on with confidence.”
“Proved to be the most helpful”
“This was the first time we had to sell, coupled with the complication of going through the splitting of finances. We came across the RW Carr Investment Co. website and saw the ‘Services’ section with ‘We Buy Houses Fast’. He proved to be the most helpful, efficient and professional in explaining, and carrying out the process. He was also supportive both before and after the sale.”
“Thank you!”
“This was the only sale we had had to make since we lived in our home for 43 years. Ryan was always very quick to respond to everything we asked and explained them in detail. The whole closing process went very smoothly. Certainly can recommend him highly.”
