T. Payne

Kandi is an excellent agent in all areas concerned. She promptly returned my phone calls during the process. She replied promptly to emails and text messages I sent her. She always made time for me whenever I needed for measurements that were needed by myself as well as people I hired to give me estimates on the work I would need done. Even on the weekend. I would recommend her to anyone.
