Client Testimonials

Colleen is amazing. She is professional, knowledgeable about the market and always has your interest in mind. She keeps the environment light, comfortable and fun while being straight forward with information. We had Colleen help us find our first home which was an existing new build. She made sure repairs (like nail pops and uneven tiles) were done and everything was in order for us when signing day came. She was amazing. So when it was time to move again we knew we were in good hands. She showed us what we needed to do to get the house prepped to show and sell. We sold it the first weekend it was on the market above asking price and giving us time to find a new home. Colleen was patient with us as we looked at many houses until finally landing a home we loved in an area we wanted. Again she made sure the selling and buying process went smoothly. She was even there when we found an unexpected leak after moving in to our new home to help us recoup repair costs from previous owners. I have recommended her to all of my friends and family.

We listed our house at the end of February 2014, a week later we had nearly a full price offer, we closed on April 11, 2014. I can’t say enough about our experience working with Colleen. If you have a chance to work with her I highly recommend her.

Colleen was exceptional in helping to sell my condo and purchase a new one. In both sets of transactions, she offered excellent guidance, was available to me 24/7 by phone and e-mail, helped me throughout several decision-making processes and demonstrated a keen knowledge of the real estate market and all that was involved in both selling and buying. I recommend her highly.

Colleen is awesome! During our 3 months of home searching and constant under bidding of properties, Colleen was always positive and always found us the perfect listings. Since we were first time home buyers, she made sure to go through everything with us, from the ground up. I would definitely recommend her to any / all family, friends, and acquaintances.

Colleen was great to work with! Very prompt if we had questions, she easily figured out what kind of house we were looking for. She never pressured us into buying or looking at anything we didn’t like. Very patient with us!
