AGENT OF THE MONTH: Brit Vora

My first priority is to make my clients happy! I listen to my clients’ wants and needs to achieve the best outcome in every transaction and I strive to ensure that the home buying, selling, or apartment locating process is fun, easy and stress-free. My clients can count on me any time of day when they have a question or concern. My enthusiasm for helping and bonding easily with others helps me connect with clients and provide them with the best service possible. When I’m not assisting my clients, I enjoy volunteering, exploring the city with my dog and husband, traveling, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
