Shelly is a gem. We saw this when we bought our first home 10 years ago, and then again when we sold it and bought a new home recently. We were referred to Shelly in 2010 after having no luck for ~ 2yrs finding our first home. Within a few short weeks of connecting with Shelly, we had looked at many homes and zeroed in on the one we wanted. She tackled it and, like so many other reviews have remarked, we felt like we were her only clients. She is a master at her craft. Our most recent experience buying and selling a home continued to affirm our faith in Shelly's work ethic and ability to navigate the market and handle any obstacle. 1. We loved our first home and were very happy in it for ~10 years, when our family was young. As we started to outgrow it, we were ready to sell it. What Shelly, her gardener, her painter, and her stager did was nothing short of amazing. What was a smaller home for some, now looked like a tremendous spacious home with lots of possibilities. The most telling evidence: our home outsold comparable homes in the vicinity that sold during that period. 2. Shelly worked hard to get as much information about the purchase of our new home as she possibly could. We ended up winning our first bid with Shelly's guidance on what she believed the market would command. She knew we'd be happy with the home and the neighborhood. She alleviated our concerns on the home inspection by connecting us with providers with reasonable solutions, such as a window vendor that offered a great deal on potential energy saving solutions. 3. It's been about 5 months since our purchase and we've accomplished 95% of the punch list items in our new home. Shelly listened and made sure our top priority for repairs required were met with some of the best contacts in the business. We've connected with a superb plumber that has installed desired improvements into our new home. As it was originally built in 1951, there were some areas in the drain lines that needed replacement. You can't go wrong with Shelly as your navigator in the home buying and selling business.
