It's hard to describe the gratitude we have for Amanda. I'll start by saying it's an incredibly…read morechallenging market. We sold a property in the city and were home searching before we met Amanda. Which means we had the opportunity to work with other agents along the way. Most were quick to submit an offer on our behalf, yet hesitant to take the time to provide constructive and meaningful feedback/direction. The reason we ended up working with Amanda is because she was everything opposite of that. She truly cared and worked endlessly and tirelessly on our behalf. She never let us settle, remained patient throughout the ups and downs, was an excellent negotiator and provided an outstanding education to us every step of the way. She talked us through understanding the market, when to walk, countless negotiations, home prices and value, contracts, lenders, attorney fine print and even connected us to trusted contractors/gave us tips on how to affordably furnish our new home! Amanda is a savant in the real estate space and we were lucky to have her on our side. We wouldn't have landed in our forever home without her efforts and expertise. Thank you, Amanda!

Colleen's support went far beyond showing homes and negotiating contracts. She guided us through a difficult process with empathy, professionalism, and genuine care.

The supers are pretty good and will fix anything if it breaks within a reasonable amount of time. The management company is responsive and professional, and extremely supportive. I highly recommend them!
