I started working with Ms. Stephanie 3 months ago. We discussed what she wanted in her new home, discussed our goals for the transaction, and created a strategy to follow moving forward. 

We drove about 1-1.5 hours each way every weekend (sometimes even a few times a week) to view numerous homes. Although we saw many beautiful places, we held out to find the perfect fit for her. When she walked into this particular place she said it “felt like home” and we knew that this was the one! 

As of yesterday, I am happy to say that we were able close on our first offer submitted! 👏👏👏

Ms. Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She stayed patient, focused, followed the steps in our strategy, and trusted me on this journey to make her dream a reality!

Congratulations again to my first VA client on the purchase of her first home!
