We cannot say enough wonderful things about Gretchen! From our very first meeting, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true professional who not only knows the market inside and out, but also genuinely cares about their clients. She listened attentively to our needs, offered thoughtful guidance, and navigated every step of the process with expertise and ease. What sets Gretchen apart is her combination of market savvy and personal warmth. She went above and beyondaEUR"anticipating questions before we asked, offering creative solutions when challenges arose, and ensured that we felt confident and informed at every turn. We could not have sold our home without Gretchens dedication and hard work. If you are looking for someone who will advocate for you fiercely, negotiate skillfully, and treat you like family, we wholeheartedly recommend Gretchen. She is the best in the business!

Gretchen's service was outstanding. The sale of our property was complicated by probate, a former lawsuit with the HOA, and by a very stubborn and demanding buyer. Gretchen kept this deal alive and saw it to completion when I was prepared to give up on the buyer. A less experienced agent would not have been able to navigate the HOA, the buyer and various lawyers involved. With ease and grace she handled every bump in the road. If we hadn't chose her as our realtor I know we would have got less money for the house. If you are looking for a realtor, you can't go wrong with Gretchen. I would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you Gretchen for all you did for our family. Gretchen's service was outstanding.

Chris listed and sold our home during arguably one of the toughest shifting real estate market in decades. His professionalism, negotiating skills, knowledge and superior customer service are second to none! From start to finish, he made us feel at ease throughout the entire process (including working through a new septic system). His contacts and connections in the area made the process as smooth as can be.

Gretchen was amazing to work with and is a true professional. We initially interviewed several realtors and chose Gretchen after several meetings. She was spot on with her recommendations, approach and knowledge and helped us through the whole sale process through closing. She was an excellent negotiator and was always available and provided useful guidance throughout the process. In the end and as she anticipated, we received multiple offers and sold the house over asking price as well as above what we expected. I would use her again WITHOUT ANY RESERVATIONS!

Working with Gretchen on the sale of our condo was a pleasure. We were a for sale by owner and she brought a buyer to us and helped make the sale of our home go without a hitch. She spent time discussing with us about our condo and how we came to our sale price and she worked with the buyer to get an offer that we were all pleased with. Any time we had a question regarding the sale, she was always quick to respond and get us answers to our questions. We would recommend Gretchen to anyone that is in need of a great realtor.
