Naomi is an absolutely amazing real estate agent. We met her casually at an open house when we were first starting to think about buying a house, then, almost a year later when we got serious, a few months into the pandemic, she was recommended to us by a friend. She's a wonderful human being, great to tour houses with, and our kids loved her. Work-wise, it was like house hunting with a house inspector—she isn't one, but she's worked with them for so long that she can often spot trouble right off the bat. Not only that, she has a rolodex of contractors and inspectors, and so far, every single one we've used has been amazing—her recommendations are good and worth listening to. Because of the pandemic and the resulting housing shortage, we spent basically half a year looking at houses with her (we probably saw over fifty houses with her), and over that period, ran into a variety of folks who'd worked with her either professionally or had her representing them in a house purchase. All of them were excited to see her and greeted her like an old friend. She won't sugar coat things, though, and will tell you in half a second if she sees something that worries her. We ended up purchasing a house from someone who was...erratic, and she maneuvered the delicate situation deftly and with care, and even after the purchase was completed, continued to check on us and frankly went far beyond what anyone should reasonably expect from a real estate agent. Our kids miss seeing her on a weekly basis, as do we—she was the one good note in trying to find and buy a house during a pandemic.
