I'm a real estate hobbyist. I have been reading and posting on related internet forums for 12+ years, with 9 units of the required RE license college units under my belt literally just for the fun of it. Needless to say, I really enjoy following the market and can sometimes be a (probably annoying) know-it-all on the subject. I'm a confirmed bear who also considers a 'forever home' to be more important than money. All that said, my family was in a bind, in that we needed a buyer quickly - one who was also willing to rent back to us while our new house was still under construction. Nancy was responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and very up front and honest about the state of the market and what staging would result in the best pictures and response. Some things I was skeptical about, but afterward realized 'oh, she was totally right.' We had a series of well-qualified offers and accepted the best one for our situation, which was more than expected. The transaction was smoother than I imagined it could be, even with numerous counter-offers, which were handled quickly and efficiently. We are very happy clients, and Nancy will be our first choice when we need an expert in the future.
