I'm going out of this not only with my dream home, but with a new friend.
I met Kate on a Facebook group for people relocating to Denver. I posted a comment asking if anyone knew of a realtor with VA loan experience. Kate responded within the hour! She set me up with multiple land and house searches. She was patient with me, even when I kept changing where I wanted to look for a house multiple times. She did virtual tours for me while I was out of state and showed me around in person once I arrived. Ultimately, the house I ended up buying was one I never would've seen on my own--a newly fully renovated home, not even on the market yet! She listened every step of the way. Each time I told her things I did and didn't like about houses we'd seen, she'd find me more and more houses that were exactly what I was looking for. She provided me knowledge on things I didn't know anything about, like appraisal gaps, bidding wars, backup offers, etc. She recommended an incredible loan officer, too! I'm going out of this not only with my dream home, but with a new friend.
