I'd never sold a house on my own before, and when it came time to sell my father's house I felt overwhelmed by the responsibility. I wanted to sell it quickly, but also needed to get as much profit as possible to pay for my father's care in assisted living. How could I trust a realtor to work in my family's best interest without taking shortcuts to make his/her job easier? I asked everyone I knew for ideas, and chose Liz as my realtor when she was recommended as being experienced and highly conscientious. She proved to be both of these as well as a delightful person to work with. Soft-spoken and polite, one may not expect the stunning effectiveness that this professional of diminutive stature brings to bear. Liz's 37 years of experience was apparent in her savvy guidance in the big decisions—pricing, advertising, and negotiating—as well as the smaller details such as what could be left in the house and what needed to be repaired—or not. She marketed aggressively, reaching a wide audience with her eye-catching flyers and postcards. She overcame several unexpected setbacks with creative solutions and by going the extra mile, even taking it upon herself to interact with city officials on my behalf. Through all the ups and downs, her positive attitude never faltered, and she gave me great peace of mind by being accessible by text, phone, email, and visits to the property, keeping me advised on every development as it occurred. In the end, she closed the deal sooner and with more net proceeds than I had dared hope for. Her services were worth every penny of her commission, and I am grateful to Liz for championing me through this complicated process that was so crucial to my family’s wellbeing. I applaud and recommend Liz as a consummate master of the real estate profession and a fine human being.
