Absolutely the best real estate company to work for. Never had I had a real estate company that has taken care of their agents. Great job Platinum.

The process was easy and they made me feel confident in my choice. They were able to enroll us in a great program that assisted with out down payment. I enjoyed working with them and have a great new house to show for it.

This is a company that cares about excellence, and it shows in the details that I see in the daily grind of working with the staff, being in the various offices, and in the larger picture of seeing our effect in the community.
Liana Estabrook

They did an excellent job answering all of our questions and explaining each step of the process. They walked us through all of the paperwork and everything that we were going to need so that when we submitted for the loan everything was already in place went through without a hitch.

I could not have made it through this without all the help I received from you. You were impressive, kind, did a great job as I was a first time buyer. Will always refer your company to my friends.

Platinum is the most advanced as far as technology, support staff, transaction team, brokers, and agents. I came from RE/MAX, transferred in October last year, best decision I have ever made for my business!

I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. It’s more than getting a house to me. I won’t go into it, but you and your team gave me a new life after losing it all. I promise if I run by anyone that you or your team can help, consider it done. I’ll convince them to seek your services.

For families caring for a child with a serious illness, life is turned upside down. Long hospital stays and uncertainty become the new normal. This is especially true for the families caring for critically ill children when even basic necessities like meals can become burdensome. Feeding Families was started with the goal of providing lunch daily to these families, so they can focus on the most important job of all – caring for their sick children.
