At the start of the pandemic, my fiancé and I decided to start looking for land in Western MA. Nick and his team found us a great property. Nick’s high-energy work ethic is unparalleled. He was always quick to respond and answer all of our questions and concerns no matter what time of day. It was a pleasure working with him. We highly recommend him and his team.
