My sister and I worked with Elaine to sell my father's house in Manalapan
My sister and I worked with Elaine to sell my father's house in Manalapan. Elaine was an amazing agent to work with - we were selling this house on behalf of our dad, who can be challenging to work with. Elaine was able to navigate the multiple time zones with ease (my sister, my dad, and I are all in different locations), setting up video calls and managing repairs and maintenance to the house without us needing to be there. She has an extensive network of contractors, and was able to take an aging house and rework it in weeks within our budget. She has a great sense for what we invested repairs into, and kept us focused on what mattered to get the home sold.
On top of all this, our dad can be challenging to work with - he wanted to sell the house, but was also easily overwhelmed. Elaine did a great job communicating clearly with him, walking him through what needed to be done each step of the way and taking the time to answer his (many, many, many) questions. Her patience with him was simply amazing, as I can imagine others may not be willing to take the time to work with someone like him.
At the end of the day, Elaine sold our house well above asking, and very quickly. In just a week, we had 80+ showings, almost 30 offers, and were in contract shortly after. She handled the buyer negotiations effectively and professionally, providing guidance on how to respond and proceed as different questions came up.
We are so lucky to have found Elaine, and would recommend her to anyone looking for an agent. You really can't go wrong working with her.
