Maureen is the right person to sell your house. She is
professional, extremely knowledgeable, patient and
personable. She picked up the phone when we called.
We had three offers on the first day, an accepted offer
the next day, closed soon after. We are so glad that we
hired Maureen and would hire her again if we had to do
it all again. ~Alex and Erlinda G.

Maureen was fantastic throughout the entire process of
selling our home. She knew the market well, helped us
decide on a realistic list price, was very easy to talk with
during the process and went above and beyond to make
sure we closed on the time we wanted to close. She was
always available by phone, email or text and always
knew who to reach out to during any particular situation.
Would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell
their home. She is the best! ~mpittman764

Maureen is a fabulous, well rounded, highly experienced,
and a very personable broker. I can't say enough about
how helpful and caring she was in both selling our house
and finding us a new home. She knows the market better
than other brokers we worked with. On top of her
technical expertise, she is also a wonderful person to
deal with, very professional and also happy and
delightful, with a great sense of humor and compassion.
We loved her. ~Tobias & Meg
