Donna Baker/Douglas Elliman Real Estate makes no claims or endorsements of businesses offering any products or services listed in the referral files. The list is not comprehensive since we occasionally rely on the recommendations of our clients for referrals.  Businesses not listed here may be just as qualified as those included. 

As with any business transaction, please remember that it is “buyer beware.” Be sure to ask for – and verify – references.  Also ask for verification that businesses have the appropriate licenses and insurance coverage.
