Thanks for---everything, Kiki & Hristo! Ron and I are touched by all the extras we did not expect from you or any realtor. The flowers and catered dinner you gave us when we moved in to our new home are priceless. Your commitment, professionalism and expertise are commendable. You have been a great support all throughout the process of buying our dream home in Bulgaria. This process can be stressful to anyone but we always felt a certain level of comfort and confidence in knowing that we had you looking after us. Peggy Fallon from USA
