Seller's review

Calm, clear and skilled

Mykah Larkins was wonderful to work with, and of course she did all the work. I have absolutely no expertise in real estate and felt completely confident in leaving it all to her. There were a couple of hurdles to jump through and she's very up-to-date on methods for dealing with the unexpected and things turned out even better than I had hoped. She kept me up to date on where things were at every stage of the process. I was able to relax and just let her take it through all the steps. That left me very pleased with the results and grateful to her. I recommend her very highly.
