Takiyah helped me purchase my first home in August 2013 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. My experience with her was great. Takiyah is very punctual, articulate, and professional. She's a good listener and based on my list of requirements, we quickly found several nice homes to look at and one to bid on. It was exciting when the sellers accepted the contract Takiyah wrote for me in February, but that was only the beginning. Since this was a short sale, which is typically much more complicated than a conventional sale, it took more than 5 months to finally close escrow, but Takiya carefully and clearly advised, explained, and guided me through every step of this up and down process. Takiyah's a hard worker and never missed a beat. She worked well and communicated effectively with the listing agent, the mortgage broker, and various inspectors to get the deal done. I felt very confident the whole time. I look forward to working with Takiyah again on future real estate transactions and I am happy to recommend her to others. read more
