Our family of four and four dogs were looking to move from California to the east coast. When we narrowed our search to the Crystal Coast I contacted the Selling Team of Llew and Elaine. Immediately after my first conversation with Elaine I knew I had found someone who knew the area very well through years of real estate experience and community involvement. Elaine provided options for Loan pre-approval and we completed that in advance. Elaine was patient and supportive - with weekly informative calls -as our long distance property review process unfolded. During the process, I flew cross country for a driving tour with Elaine to look at properties on the market that seemed like a fit. Weeks after that trip we decided on one Elaine had showed us - an economical waterfront property in a good school district. Elaine helped us structure the proposal to meet our extended needs to downsize and sell our CA home of 18 years. When we put our very desirable home on the market in CA for a 'quick sale,' the timing was unfortunate as the market slumped and price reductions were necessary. Elaine, and Tammy maintained the support we needed on our home purchase in NC by orchestrating home inspections, bids for repairs, land survey, insurance estimates and pier permits. Elaine developed and negotiated several options with the selling agent that would accommodate the uncertainty of our unsettled CA home sale. With the trust and confidence we had in the Selling Team of Llew and Elaine we packed up and drove across the country to North Carolina in order to start school in late August. Long story short, we are in our new home now and we are still asking Elaine for information and referrals. We are very satisfied with the process and the value of the final transaction. Elaine is a consummate professional, someone you can trust and someone you will want to continue to know. We are truly blessed to have found The Selling Team Llew and Elaine and are forever grateful!
