I am so happy having made the decision to turn over the sale of our family’s mountain home of 37 years to Lynn. In an otherwise dismal vacation real estate market and the in the middle of Winter, she and her team were able to secure a buyer in 17 days on the market, at almost asking price. Not only that, but we had a second backup contract 2 days later as well! Now granted, it was a very desirable location, and these results may not be typical, but nevertheless I was impressed, as the house needed major repairs and renovation as well.
I liked the fact that Lynn did her homework and provided me at our initial meeting both quantitative market analysis as well as qualitative listing expectations. Prior to agreeing to take the listing, she consulted with her associates to establish a realistic asking price. That took 2 weeks because of the Christmas/New Year’s holidays. Her valuation (i.e., right selling price) was validated by both the buyer’s offer and the ultimate lender’s appraisal. She was truly professional in not rushing into the listing – she wanted to make sure I was happy with the price and comfortable with her agency’s approach.
Once the listing was signed, she coordinated all of the tedious legwork obtaining an accurate property survey (which had never been done) and communicating with the City zoning department to navigate the lot building limitations (which might have been a big negative to a buyer) versus what was grandfathered because of the structure’s age.
Lynn (and her team) communicated at ever stage in the closing process (including an extension because of the lender’s delay).
I am very happy to recommend Lynn – she is truly outstanding! I have used many realtors over the years both buying and selling, and my experience with Lynn was by far the best.
