We have long dreamt of owning a property on the water in Maryland where we could enjoy the next phase of our lives. Cornelia spent hours getting to know us while helping us get to know St. Michaels, Easton, Royal Oak and Bozman, areas she's incredibly knowledgeable about. When the right property for us became available, she knew it. Cornelia supported us through a lengthy closing period and, as a longtime resident herself, remains a trusted source of information. Cornelia was a true pleasure to work with.

Cornelia is highly talented and knows how to get a deal done. She works with you until you find what is best for you - no pressure yet never fails to keep your desires, needs and dreams in mind!

Cornelia's handling of our home sale was flawless from start to finish: staging, photography (wow!), appraisal, and showings. She found us the perfect buyers because she has cultivated relationships over her many years assisting buyers and sellers. Negotiations and settlement were handled with the utmost professionalism. We highly recommend Cornelia if you are considering buying or selling on Maryland's Eastern Shore. She's the best!

Cornelia has a thorough understanding of Talbot County CODES… critical to home purchasers… knowing if a pool can be added…. extending patios… adding a third bedroom etc… buyer BEWARE!!! Having CORNELIA on your team will prevent buyers REMORSE !! Trust me on this !!!

Cornelia has represented us on the sell and buy side, and she knows the market really well and builds strong relationships with her clients. She is transparent, direct, honest, and patient, and she is very smart about how to navigate what is important to both buyers and sellers. Most importantly, she is someone you can trust and enjoy working with.

Because of her connections with people and resources, she was able to put us in touch with any services we needed. She also knew exactly how to market our property and who would be interested. She put a lot of thought into the listing price and description of the house. Cornelia had a full price cash offer for our property before it was publicly listed. Throughout the process she was kind, caring and supportive.

This is our third house purchase with Cornelia ( she helped with the purchase of a commercial property , our primary home, and now a guest home ). Cornelia is excellent! And most importantly- very knowledgeable about the county codes… what can and can’t be done with respect to add-ons, improvements, patios, pergolas, pools etc.. Talbot can be very complicated and without proper knowledge… you can be very disappointed with your purchase… after the fact!! I highly recommend Cornelia!!

Cornelia was a pleasure to work with and We felt very well supported by her during what was a stressful time for us. Her depth of knowledge and her ability to strategize on pricing was excellent. We would highly recommend Cornelia to anyone who wants a strong advocate on their side through the real estate process.

Cornelia Heckenbach is a complete professional that knew every step of the bidding and closing processes that enabled us to purchase the house of our dreams. She always had our interests at heart and worked tirelessly to help us achieved our goals. She gave great advice and helped us every step of the way. Then she recommended a mortgage agent, a banker, a financial planner, a tax person, and someone to help us rent out or new home until we were ready to move in -- and all of them turned out to be trustworthy, great at what they did, and had wonderful things to say about Cornelia. She basically helped us not just purchase a house, but set up a new life in a new location and made it clear that she is always there for us, regardless of the subject. She is even willing to help us find new places to walk our dogs. I know that she is one of the most successful agents in Maryland, and it is because everyone she works with recommends her. She was recommended to me and I will not hesitate to recommend her to any homebuyer in the area.

First off Cornelia comes accross as someone that loves her job. She loves helping people find their new home and navigating all the steps in getting there. She will be there for every step in this tough journey of buying a home. She is experienced, knows the local housing market, customers, communities, and networks easily- we have beneffitted from her contacts. She is a true partner; probelm solving with you along the way and using her negotiation skills to get results. She is an off the charts action oriented person that seems to always be available and totally accessible. Once she did not get back to us in the hour and apoligized. She will take the time to learn what is important to you. For example, she will go with you to every showing- learning what is important to you and using this information to ask questions and help you make decisions. I know of no one that enjoys searching for their new home. Can't say that Cornelia imde this process enjoyable but she is in your corner, leveraging her experience and knowledge, learns what you want and makes the buying process much more bearable. A true partner in navigagting a complicated, emotional process of selecting your home so you can make it your new home.

I have been fortunate to have worked with Cornelia on three real estate transactions. Twice as a buyer and once as a seller. Cornelia provides superb attention every step of the way. She inspires confidence as has vast knowledge of the area and has her hand on the pulse of the market at all times. She is also extremely professional, checking each detail, no matter how small, as sales or purchases progress.

Cornelia is without a doubt the best realtor we have ever encountered. She has an indepth knowledge of her inventory and even more an intimate knowledge of the market so she quickly determines the appropriate price-point among the competing homes. She is appropriately direct in dealing with clients easily and articulately informing how to price the property for maximum buyer/seller interest. She does not equivocate providing well- reasoned explanations. I value her knowledge and expertise and recommend her to others.
