As first time homebuyer, my fiance and I had NO idea where to start! When we first met Elena we had a general area of where we thought we might want to live and an idea of what we thought we might want in a house. After this meeting our eyes and thoughts completely changed! Elena's knowledge of the market and homes itself allowed us to see exactly what we could afford as well as a greater variety of where we could buy. When we finally found our dream home, Elena jumped on communicating with the seller's realtor in securing our offer. She coached us through what to offer, stayed by the phone walking me away from the edge of an emotional cliff while we waited to hear back on our offer and talked us through every little piece of the process. Her amazing efforts didn't stop there... After we had our offer accepted, Elena was at city hall the next day getting ever bit of information on the history of our new house as well as future plans for our neighborhood. She held our hand through the inspection, reaching out several inspectors and secure us an inspector as soon as possible, explaining things through our the inspection, and even envisioning small renovations with me. During the inspection a few things were brought to our attention and she resolved every single one of them with the seller's and their realtor. All the way to closing, Elena was in continuous communication ensuring we understood anything and everything that came along. I cannot speak highly enough for Elena. She is extremely communicative, hands-on, and just all around wonderful. Her go-to attitude makes a complex and stressful process simple and enjoyable! I would recommend Elena to anyone, but especially first-time home buyers like us who had no idea where to start!
