What impressed me the most about Simon before anything is his humility and compassion for others. To me when a successful person shares their valuable time to help others that speaks volumes about their character. Simon quickly became a friend and mentor for on many levels.

Simon is a true professional that not only meets his lofty targets but exceeds them.

He definitely provides strong value for many different sides of the real estate spectrum, and does a great job delivering for us.
Hugh Lawson
