I met Katie 14 years ago when we worked in the same office, and even back then, she stood out as…read moreone of the most hardworking and client focused people I knew. At the time, Katie was working in commercial real estate, and later she transitioned into residential where she has truly built her career. Throughout the years she never lost touch, sending holiday cards, inviting us to client appreciation events, and keeping us connected through social media. I always said that when the time was right to buy our first home, Katie would be the one we would call. A few years ago, my husband and I reached out to Katie just to learn what we needed to prepare for a future home purchase. She patiently answered our questions, shared lender recommendations, and never pressured us. Life got busy as we saved for a home and welcomed our baby, but when the time finally came, Katie was ready. She and her team curated a thoughtful list of homes, paying close attention to schools and neighborhoods we had not even considered, and encouraged us to move at our own pace. Katie would always remind us, "There's no rush, I want you to love your home." When we finally found the home, we discovered there were already multiple offers on the table. Katie immediately gave us her strategy advice, and thanks to her expertise, we not only beat out two competing offers but did so while staying within our budget. Through escrow, Katie and her team were outstanding, responsive, proactive, and supportive every step of the way. They provided regular updates, answered our countless questions, and worked with the sellers to make sure we felt completely comfortable. If we had questions about vendors or contractors, Katie and her team always had trusted recommendations ready, which made the entire process even smoother. What stood out most was how Katie made us feel throughout the process. She is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also incredibly thoughtful. Never once did we feel like she or her team were too busy for us. In fact, Katie made us feel like we were their only clients. Her genuine care turned what could have been a stressful milestone into an exciting and joyful experience. We cannot imagine having gone through this journey with anyone else. Katie is more than an incredible agent, she is a trusted advocate, a thoughtful professional, and together with her amazing team, someone we will recommend wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

We absolutely loved working with Katie. We walked into an open house not even planning to move for…read morea couple of years, but we fell in love with the home and decided to move quickly. Katie jumped right in and guided us through every step of the process--even with a tight 21-day close. She was professional, friendly, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire experience. She has a great way of explaining each step clearly so we always felt informed and confident in our decisions. She was present at our inspection and even met contractors at the house on our behalf when our schedules were too hectic. Her help made the whole process so much easier for us. Katie's personal touches also meant a lot--showing up with coffees for us and a frappuccino for our daughter. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and truly wants what's best for them. We couldn't have found a better realtor and strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She's a truly genuine person, and we feel so lucky to have worked with her!

I was not looking forward to the house-searching process and came into it with a very reserved and cautious attitude, but Shirley made me feel comfortable and open about it because she is just such a positive strong force of nature. She never pushed us in a direction we had hesitations about and she was available night and day to answer our several questions and concerns. She was there every step of the way and patiently assisted us with understanding every aspect of the home buying and escrow process. Something really key about her that stands out from other realtors is that she will fight for you. I feel like she worked really hard to get us a good deal and this sets her apart from other realtors we met who either who didn't seem like they were trying that hard for us or were just trying to get commission asap. I think Shirley genuine loves helping people find a home and that passion speaks volumes in her work ethic and relentless pursuit of finding the perfect house for you. She makes a point to let us give our thoughts first before she gives us her own honest opinions with years of experience. I found her to be really honest and trustworthy, which is something hard to find these days in every field. In addition to that, even though we bought our house months ago, she still regularly checks in to make sure we are ok and there aren't issues. She treats you like family and we are so lucky to have found her! When our family grows and we need a larger house, we will look to no one other than Shirley to help us. Thank you Shirley for everything!

We were able to enjoy the buying process without feeling rushed. We so enjoyed our home search that once we found a property to purchase we chose Sheryl to represent us in the selling of our current home as well. Together with the assistance of her great team we received multiple offers over our asking price in less than a week. Highly recommend!
