From our initial home viewing we really liked Marsha's personality but also her experience level. It was clear she had a vast network and a regional reputation which gave us peace of mind, so we went with her. And we were very pleased we did. She was very accessible and understanding of us being first-time home buyers in an extremely challenging market. Over time she learned what was our must-haves as well as compromise points which made the home viewings much more catered to us, and more efficient overall. At other times she was a voice of reason or a seasoned veteran that could at least steer us towards optimal choices or away from making costly decisions, which we noticed. At other times, she would give us space to research and strategize. A couple moments in the process, she advocated for us in ways that ended us saving lots of money. For instance, she directly dealt with the seller because they didn't have an attorney. We were also in a multiple bid situation which we were able to navigate. Approaching closing, we had to go back and forth with an unreasonable seller, but were still able to get some concessions and fixes. And in the end we got the house that checked off a majority of the boxes, as well is in a growth potential area that allows us to feel like we made the right decisions all around.
