"When my company relocated me from Boston to Phoenix, I was overwhelmed. VDI sent me a custom neighborhood guide, set up virtual tours, and even visited homes on my behalf. By the time I flew in for a weekend, I had three finalists to choose from. We closed remotely and moved in seamlessly. I can't imagine doing this without them."
