Our experience working with Penny Smith as our realtor was absolutely wonderful. We can’t recommend her enough! I don’t usually write reviews but I had to share about our experience with Penny. In October, we had a few realtors recommended to us as we started the overwhelming process of house hunting with a baby! We met with a couple of realtors and Penny immediately stood out as someone who was down to earth, approachable, knowledgeable about the market and truly in it for our best interests, not just the sale. She knew the market and the particular statistics for Douglas County. From the beginning she was incredibly responsive and “on it” with everything. She was so supportive and kind about our schedule variations with our growing baby and her nap schedules and dislike of car rides. We saw 22 homes because we were picky and had specific criteria. Penny was a great resource to talk through all our criteria and be a steward of the experience. There was even a night where we were trying to decide between two homes - one that was a higher price point but that just didn’t feel “right” to me, and another that we loved for a lower price point. Penny gently picked up on my hesitation and reflected it back to me/got curious about it, instead of pushing the higher sale. In the end, we actually DID end up buying the home we loved. Penny was a word of mouth recommendation from family that also has high standards and is also rightfully picky about housing (because it IS where you spend so much time!) - so I knew if they recommended her, she must be great. We were never disappointed and also feel like we gained a friend. Even after the closing, Penny stayed in touch, providing contractor resources, checking in, and being a wonderful connection. I really have never had a realtor experience like the one she provided. Thank you for all your hard work Penny!
