Whether you're in the research phase at the beginning of your real estate search or you know exactly what you're looking for, you'll benefit from having a real estate professional by your side. I'd be honored to put my real estate experience to work for you.
I had the pleasure of working with Merle Bruno over the past year to find my first dream home. She is patient, knowledgeable, appropriately honest, punctual, prompt, and is most importantly, very friendly. As a first time home buyer, I knew nothing about the home buying process, or about homes in general. She patiently educated me and helped me find the home of my dreams. I never had a question left unanswered, and I never had to wait long for a response (whether in an email or call). I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor. I highly recommend her and will continue to work with her in the future.
rom the very beginning, they were very helpful. They were upfront and honest about the market, what they knew and what they didn't know. They made good suggestions, listened to our concerns and helped us a good deal along the way. They were very responsive, via email and the phone, and worked well with us along the way, holding open houses and also viewings for individuals. We had rented our condo and weren't in the area and they worked very well with the manager and also the renter, very respectful. My wife and I recommend them most highly.
