I have worked with a few agents over the years, and Katie is the best. We sold my home off market, and she made it easy. She tapped into her network and connected me with the right buyer. She knew the numbers, explained my options clearly, and guided me to the right price. We went under contract quickly at a number I felt great about. She is organized, responsive, and kind. I felt taken care of from start to finish. I am about to list again with her for a second time, and I am looking forward to another enjoyable selling process.
I had the pleasure of working with Ashley to purchase a Winter Park Condo. Highlights include: - incredibly knowledgeable about the area, she is truly a connected local - very attentive to my preferences and provided options to suit them - fast response time - assistance with access to financing - negotiated a great purchase price - very informative with high attention to detail regarding the purchase process on my behalf - patient Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic experience working with Katie! She is knowledgeable, professional, and cares deeply about finding her clients the perfect home for them. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!
