"After my first phone conversation with Don, I knew I was making a good choice to go with him over the many other agents I'd been referred to. And that was just on the phone! After Patty and I met Don in person, we really felt we had a chance to buy a place in San Francisco. You just felt, 'This guy is going to close a deal!' And guess what? Don made things happen. But what makes Don really stand out from other agents is his personality. He's your agent but he's also your friend. Don makes you feel good about what you're doing but he also lets you know his opinion. If you want the best player on your team, pick Don Woolhouse." - Ross & Patty Stevenson
