I started my search for a retirement home by contacting 3 real estate agents in my locale of interest. Of the 3 that I contacted, Cindy Arnold was the only one that responded and told me how she could help me. I live in Japan and planned to be in the area just a short time to find a retirement home. This did not phase Cindy at all! Cindy kept in contact via email until I arrived in person. She scheduled viewings of as many condos as humanly possible over 2 days. On day 3 of my search, I made an offer on my future retirement home. Cindy was very knowledgeable of the area where I wanted to live as well as all the ins and outs of buying a home. After I returned to Japan, she worked just as diligently with my son (my POA) and kept in close contact with me by email until we closed on the condo and beyond. Buying a home from a distance can be challenging but Cindy was there to support me every single step of the way. She is friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable - I am a happy homeowner because of her hard work and dedication to her craft. And - I feel I have gained a friend.
