Client feedback like this means the world to me and reflects the way I work with every buyer and seller:

"Elaine did all the work for me; all I can say is she is like a pitbull—she doesn’t let go. She went out of her way to help me, and she always kept me updated. She is friendly, and she never leaves anything unattended. If there was even the slightest chance that she could fix something before time ran out, she did it. She drove around a lot, she made many phone calls. I have sold many houses before, but I have never seen anyone so formidable in how she works—how friendly she is and how seriously she takes everything. I appreciate it very much, and I am very glad I chose her." - Hester Theron
