When I first started looking for a home, I looked on Realtor.com and inquired about a house on the website. Brande from Centered International Realty called me and I knew it was a blessing. She was extremely informative and professional (and so sweet!) and walked me through the home buying process (I was/am a first-time homebuyer). One thing I loved is that she is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate industry, and she has a wonderful team she works with (Brett-broker, Marjorie-attorney). She even recommended my wonderful inspection company. I ended up closing on November 19th and I was so scared and worried because I always hear horror stories about how one little thing can stop your closing. I had called and texted her at all times of the night because I was nervous and she always calmed me down. One thing I learned from her about purchasing real estate is that it's important to pick an agent that has a strong team behind them (the Holy Trinity of real estate is Agent-Broker-Attorney). When I went to closing all I literally had to do is sign the papers (a huge stack, but I digress) and I got my key and I was done. Oh and Brande gave me a beautiful basket with gifts flowers at my closing! I have recommended everyone I know to her.
By the way, I know this review seems too good to be true, especially for a real estate agent. But because I am writing the first review, I feel it's important to say I am BIG on reading reviews before I buy, see, or order anything. She seriously works with the best people and also knows a lot of people (inspectors, agents, contractors, tax people, etc.). I am the most skeptical person especially when it comes to spending my money but this is one of the best decisions I've made in my life and now I'm in a beautiful home. read more
