Due to age and other factors, I wanted to downsize and relocate closer to my daughter and grandchildren. My daughter saw a home close to her and recommended I use one of her friends, Deb Matthews, as an agent. I called Deb and we saw the house the next day. That evening, I put in an all-cash offer for the listing price. Unfortunately, the house was sold for more than asking. The seller used my offer as a proxy to get more than the asking price from one of his friends. Three months later, Deb called me with a similar house in the same neighborhood that was coming soon. She arranged for me to have the first official showing the following Tuesday. She also said I could put in an offer sight unseen. I didn’t want to buy it without first seeing the inside. As luck would have it, someone else put in a full price contract over the weekend sight unseen and the seller took it. Taking my requirements and not giving up, she knew I was serious and ready to move. Not giving up, she hand delivered a letter to over 100 similar homes in the target area stating she had a buyer ready to buy. In November, another similar house popped up “coming soon.” Again, we arranged to be the first to see it and we put in an all cash offer the same day. This time it was accepted. I had to be out of town for 2 of the weeks between contract signing and settlement. Debt arranged the house inspection, attended the inspection, and arranged for the correction of a couple of minor items in my absence prior to settlement. Moreover, she recommended multiple contractors for other things I wanted to accomplish prior to moving in. Her in depth and thorough knowledge of the market and her industry contacts are an asset. Not only is Deb easy to work with, but she has the skills and tenacity to get the job done. Deb listens. Moreover, she is dependable, prompt, responsive, and professional. I highly endorse and recommend you meet with her and let her handle your real estate transaction.
