I have bought and sold many houses and Amy is the best agent I’ve ever had. She is knowledgeable, pleasant and diligent. Her attention to detail is superb. I am a commercial real estate attorney and I’ve negotiated and sold hundreds of millions of dollars in commercial real estate. Realizing that the residential market is different, I held myself back and let Amy do her job. I was impressed! Amy accommodated every one of my requests. She walked me through comparable houses on the market before we set the listing price on my rental house. She helped me pick out paint, carpet and stain for the wood floors. In a depressed market, Amy ‘s strategy to set up a bidding competition among buyers seemed optimistic. However, we sold the house in three days at $15,000 above asking price with four back-up offers also above asking price. I studied the comparable prices carefully before setting the purchase price and I don’t think the original price was too low. In fact, I was worried that an appraisal wouldn’t support the buyer’s offer price. Amy’s presentation of my house and her negotiation with other agents resulted in buyers raising their offers and competing for the house. She worked carefully with the appraiser to justify the contract price and I was pleasantly surprised when she succeeded. I couldn’t have done a better job. Amy was superb on follow-up. She dogged the title company to write around a title exception. Without my asking, she obtained discounts on termite, title and escrow services. When we had regulatory problems tenting the house, she made numerous calls to the termite company, the gas company and others to find the best course of action. She stayed in constant contact with the buyer’s lender so we weren’t surprised by any hiccups during a closing of less than 30 days. After closing, I objected to a $38 charge from the title company and Amy obtained a refund for me (a matter of principle – not money). Many agents will tell you what you want to hear just to get the listing. Amy is not one of those. She is straight forward, honest and reliable. Pick her and you’ll be happy you did!
