As a buyer, I really cannot recommend Julie Buffum as a realtor. Her objective was a high commission, which was really painfully obvious during closing. I found the house I bought prior to calling her to represent me in the purchase - which should have made her job pretty damn easy, but this isn't a 1 star review for nothing. Or I guess it is, since nothing was the best I could say came from this professional relationship.
Prior to closing, she was extremely unresponsive about drafting the purchase agreement - it got to the point of desperation for me that I began to type out the whole contract with changes, as she couldn't or wouldn't provide the file so I could make the changes myself, yet was slow and terribly inaccurate making the changes herself. It was frustrating, especially as the changes were pretty simple, but took several revisions (proofreading is a good idea when you're revising contracts - you'd hope they covered that in the real estate licensure class, but apparently not).
Maybe if you're selling she'll be more on the ball, but I really would strongly recommend any prospective buyers in the area to go with a different realtor - or just find a good lawyer and see if you can represent yourself. I wish I had. read more
