Exceeded my expectations. Went above and beyond. It's safe to say the only reason I'm living where I am right now is because of her hustle, and dedication.

The decision to sell our home and move into a retirement home was a difficult one. Shelley approached the process with a sensitivity and understanding that was greatly needed. Having not bought or sold a home for many years, she walked us through the process in detail and guided us expertly. She was patient, kind and very professional. Her strategy for the home sale was on point. Thanks to her efforts, we received more than expected and completed the sale faster than anticipated. We can't thank Shelley enough for her help. We will certainly be recommending her to our friends and family.

I had the opportunity to work with Shelley for the sale of our secondary income property. She was personable and professional. I was making arrangements for my estate as I wanted to ensure my family was being taken care of for their future. She ensured we received top dollar from our investment.
Shelley successfully achieved all of our financial objectives for our family in a timely manner. She gained our trust by being responsive, informative and going beyond the expectation.
We would gladly use her again should we have further real estate needs in the family.
