"Many years ago, Barbara Wilson, Howard Hanna helped me when purchasing a home for my daughter. I knew then if I ever needed a real estate agent in the future, I would definitely call on her and 20 plus years later I did. My experience recently with Barbara Wilson, Howard Hanna was superior. Barb kept me informed every step of the way. I sold and purchased a home with Barbara's guidance and am extremely grateful for her support in making this a smooth process. I would definitely recommend Howard Hanna to family and friends."
