“Kim made the process very easy for us. She had a plan and stuck to it. She gave us some great yet simple ideas on how to improve the staging of the house, and she gave us options for pricing. The photographer she hired was outstanding. She kept us informed of every showing – not an easy thing in this case as there were more than a dozen over the first few days. She sorted thru the offers and offered suggestions on what to look for in a strong offer. She continued to keep us informed as the underwriting process continued and was able to get us closed 16 days earlier that expected. We could not be more happy.”
