Marie is everything a new or experienced buyer could want in a realtor to guide you along the modern purchasing process which is so much more cumbersome and paperwork intensive than it ever was. (I bought my first home in 1991 when there were very few documents to sign!)So. . . about Marie I was most impressed by her pleasant tenacity. My purchase was challenging. I was looking for a needle in the haystack and she patiently worked with me until I found it. Even at times when I was ready to give up and rent she stayed positive and reminded me of why I wanted to downsize and find a condo. in the first place.When I first met her I decided to work with her because of her sense of humor and the way she truly listened when my adult son and I described our needs. She didn't bring me to places that were not what I was looking for- which I truly appreciated!!! (with an incredibly busy work/family schedule) Not wasting my time is huge with me. (In the past I have had other realtors take me to places that don't work for me over and over and at this stage of life I just can't spare the time. even though I find R.E. fascinating.)Similarly she always quickly followed through with complete answers to my questions about properties. All the while I was learning the differences about condos. after being a home owner for 24 years. All in all I found what we needed and wanted. She stuck with us and we are so glad to have found ourhome that I hope will be perfect for me in semi-retirement (someday!) and eventually retirement. Thank You Marie!
