RE/MAX Excels

After staring at our downstairs neighbor’s townhouse, up for sale, for the past 1.5 years, sitting stagnant we weren’t too pumped about throwing ours on the market. But space was tight. Winter clothes, well mine at least, were stored in suitcases, dishes stayed in the dishwasher, and friends crammed onto the teeny tiny balcony. We coundn’t take it much longer.
Calls were made and fears were confirmed. The market is saturated, town homes aren’t moving, you can’t compete with foreclosures. And then our Real Estate Hero appeared. My husband made the call and Kathy Brothers was there. She sat down with us and gave it to us straight. Our price had to be competitive, and we had to be patient, but it would sell, she was confident and we liked that.
1 open house, and several showings later we had an offer and were under contract within 2 months.
Elation turns to panic as we realize we have 1 month to get out and we haven’t looked at a single home. Have no fear, Kathy Brothers is here. Kathy made us a top priority and began showing us homes right away. She patiently went house to house (ones that I picked out online) knowing we wouldn’t like them. Then she showed us ‘the one’. She knew what we wanted before we did! 15 more homes, just in case, and we decided to make an offer.
A bidding war, a stressful loan officer, and a few moving day glitches, and we are settling into our dream home. I’m writing this review on my out of control back patio as we speak, well, as you read.
For such a big investment, such an important milestone, I could not have asked for a better guide through the crazy roller coaster that is real estate than Kathy Brothers. She was knowledgeable, honest, aggressive, and a true pleasure to work with.
