We bought our house in Hadley with the help of Merle and Peter last fall. It was a long distance purchase for us since were still in California. But with Peter's background in construction and Merle's thoroughness with detail, it went smoothly. Their knowledge of the area and access to local resources made the process mostly stress-free. It was a hard negotiation at times, but we got through it. It was, and is the right house in the perfect location. Thanks so much.

We appreciated from the beginning that Merle was not at all pushy. She listened to what we wanted and respected our desires while also being willing to share her expertise and opinions when it seemed appropriate for us. Compared to other realtors we spoke and met with, we really appreciated that Merle didn't make our realtor-buyer relationship awkward in any way. Of note, Merle was very responsive in communications: one of the reasons we ended up with our home is because Merle was able to immediately schedule a viewing after our request, and one time that she was particularly busy and we were particularly anxious during the purchase process, she had her husband (also a Sawicki realtor) call us to answer our questions. Also, she didn't rush us at viewings, and instead gave us ample time to look at details and "feel out" the homes. We appreciated that she helped us navigate the communication process with the sellers and their realtor during the purchase, making us feel comfortable that she was representing our perspective.
