Above and beyond is what you get when you work with Simone. I've worked with her twice, and I hope…read morethere will be a third time. Simone is not one of these agents who will push you to make an offer if she feels that a place has too many issues or is not the right fit for you. She does her homework and will not hold back on sharing her opinions. If you visit a place with her for the first time, she will see the details you missed and make sure that you're not overlooking anything. With disclosure packages, she takes the time needed to review them and she will know them inside and out. I like to think that I'm thorough with these, but on more than one occasion she flagged significant items that I missed and made me change my mind on a property. In short Simone comes with a very strong POV on why you should or shouldn't make an offer on a specific place, putting your interest first Overall Simone is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I'm delighted to recommend her. I look forward to working with her again.

I am also a bit impatient and expect the very best from anyone that I employ. Simone made herself available at all times and took care of all my needs without fuss. She is very professional and works really hard. She sold my house at an excellent price, far higher than other realtors had told me I could expect. I can strongly recommend Simone to anyone interested in selling their house, because she did such a great job. I could not have asked for a better realtor to sell my house!

Julie is extremely effective, strategic, personable and professional helping to sell my home…read more Choosing her as my Realtor was an easy choice! I have worked with many Realtors in several different states over the years, and I can say that Julie shines. She has a natural sense of design, understands what buyers want, and together with her team, she transformed my home into a Crown Jewel. After a few weeks on the market, she created a multiple offer scenario, and negotiated a price that well surpassed my expectations. From start to finish, she was an excellent communicator, attentive to every detailed involved in selling my home, was incredibly supportive and helpfully optimistic. Not only is she an outstanding Realtor, Julie works hard, takes pride in her work, is kind, and has abundant integrity. I feel lucky to have found her and can't recommend her highly enough.

We started working with Julie a couple years later. She is a wonderful! She seemingly knows everyone, obviously loves what she does, and listens to you. We are all over the map as far as houses go, and Julie rolled with us, showing us all kinds of houses in a wide price range, and a large geographical area. We are just finishing moving into our new house, and couldn't have done it without Julie's skill, tenacity, humor, and friendship. She always kept our best interests at heart. We really could not ask for a better agent. If you have a house to sell, or are looking to buy, you can not go wrong with Julie Durkee!

My…read morefiancée, who comes from a family of east-coast realtors, thinks he's the best realtor on the west-coast. Hal is smart, professional, and honest; he is a great negotiator, and he finishes his work quickly. He is a man you can trust with your transaction. We finally closed on a small, less-than $200K, short-sale condo that took five months to close, but none of that delay came from Hal. Whenever any paperwork arose, Hal would either take care of it himself or immediately bring it to our attention. He provided excellent communication and was always willing to explain unfamiliar concepts. He has experience in all areas of real estate: as a realtor, landlord, and loan officer. His in-depth knowledge of real estate and finance (he's a CFP) makes him an excellent ally in what can be a byzantine process. He and his colleagues were able to negotiate effectively with CHASE and saved us thousands of dollars, and he recommended excellent inspectors who arrived on-time, completed their inspections quickly, and provided detailed reports. Throughout the entire ordeal, Hal kept us posted on any new news and was always willing to re-show us the property. From our perspective, Hal provided us with an enormous amount of attention and made this process as smooth as it could be.

I (we) was looking for a professional, passionate, caring, straight forward person to handle the sale of our "family home" of over 50 plus years. It was hectic and confusing at times during the selling process. Shawn kept the rudder on an even keel and a straight course of navigation. Shawn was very attentive and caring to what our needs were. As newbie sellers, our confusions and questions, were put to rest. He walked us through and maintain a line of communicate that was clear on a continual basis. Sometimes a number of times per day. Just to clarify the process. Shawn was always clam and listening to our every request for information. He was immediately responsive to our questions to help us in making a decision. Shawn was there for US! Comparison sales, he had it. Today's market trends, he was there with it. The team he assembled were Fantastic! He and his team offer continue communications every step of the way! Katie and Stephanie were so committed to giving excellent quick responses. It was a heavenly experience! Our "home" became a Castle with their guidance, by the sales date. We were so intrigued and enlighten by the finish product. Some of us consider offering a "bid" on the property. I (we) would without hesitation, recommend Shawn to anyone in the market to sell or purchase a home. An agent that is passionate, caring, direction minded and a friend.
