Daniel Riordan was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He also provided valuable, unbiased insight about the structure of the houses which aided in our decision making process. We bought the first house we bid on, beating out 6 other offers because of Danny's understanding of the market and communication with the listing agent. We highly recommend Danny and The Kilner & Kirk Group!
