Bio
Liz Chasse-Crouse
Don has supported both the sale of our primary residence as well as the purchase of a rental property. Our primary residence sold in 3 days with multiple offers; we were very happy with the outcome. Our rental property was purchased 'sight unseen'; we needed to make an offer on a property while out of town and relied on Don's judgement to help with the selection of the property. He made an excellent choice. We will always work with Don on any future real estate needs.

I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Don while I worked at California Pizza Kitchen. He is such a wonderful manager and generous person. His commitment to excellence and understanding remains not only in the workplace but extends into a personal atmosphere as well. He is always willing to go above and beyond to make that personal connection and to lend a hand in time of need. He is a dedicated leader and works well in a team setting. Don spends just as much time listening to issues as he does solving them. He is acutely aware of business functions and consistently strives to help boost the company's bottom line; a sure fire asset to any organization!
