I just want to tell you how much I enjoy working with Heather. I couldn’t ask for more. She’s consistently friendly, kind, attentive, helpful and gracious. 

I am so blessed to have her as a partner at RSI. She’s always patient and generous with her time and knowledge. I’m 100% convinced that this is her character and she treats everyone else she works with in the same way. What an incredible asset to RSI and all of us who get to interact with her.

I’m also sure you’ve heard this about her before, but I’ve thought it for so long and finally took a moment to tell you. Everyone I work with at RSI is amazing and I sure appreciate all of you!

OMG! Where do I even start?

RSI has helped with our background checks, greatly! Whenever we have a question on background checks they are always there to help through. I enjoy how they email but also send over PDF files on how-to-do. This is a helpful tool for the future. 

I want to send a special shoutout to Brooke, Amanda & Heather. They are always answering my emails within 24 hours with helpful information and a positive attitude. I can be very…technology needy, lol, and they are always super helpful!
