ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we sold our home, Jolynna McCune with Groome & Co. brought us the best price and asked for the least in return; she had high quality photographs taken that made the house look amazing and listed well-written descriptions of the property, accurate and persuasive, that highlighted its best features; she offered advice but took our opinions seriously, leading to strategic listing prices and timing that were dead-on; and when all her hard work paid off, resulting in 21 showings and 3 offers in the space of two weeks, she expertly negotiated the counter-offers and conditions so that everything went smoothly, without conflict or delay, and we earned far more than wed hoped. We energetically recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. Jolynna was always professional, honest, and easy to reach. She was well-informed about comparative sales and trends that would influence our market price. When she walked through the house the first time, she offered reasonable advice about which renovations to focus on, so that we could conserve time and money but make the improvements that mattered most. For example, another agent wanted us to repaint the entire interior. Jolynna, knowing we wanted to be market-ready in a week, suggested we repaint the kitchen cabinets and just touch up the walls and doors. It made an immense difference without costing us more than a gallon of paint and a couple late nights. The quality of Jolynnas real estate listings speak for themselves. The photographer Groome & Co. brought in to take photos did an incredible job, and our home had never looked better. He used equipment that merged several shots together to combine the best lighting and sharpness within every angle of the image. Jolynna is a good writer, and she was able describe the house in detail, making its strengths stand out by virtue of themselves without sounding like an overzealous or desperate salesman. Her advertising platform was strategic; our listing was widely visible for an internet-savvy market because she understands where people shop. We planned the optimum time for our house to hit the market, which was only about 1-2 weeks after Jolynnas first walk thru. Once she had pictures, we were online about 24 hours later. When we had received a cash offer the first day, she helped us navigate the different kinds of buyers and know when to decline an offer. She was always very prompt on her end, and we never found ourselves waiting for her. She often used digital signatures on documents, so it was very convenient to go through the selling process. She kept us up to date. Because our listing was visible and appealing, and our price point tempting, we had an average of three showings per day for two weeks. I have three small children, and our home never looked perfectly staged, because we were living in it. I was very grateful when we found the right buyer to be able to take our sign down and keep the showing stage brief. Jolynna helped us obtain an ideal moving date. We counter-offered, and then both parties compromised, and everyone seemed happy. Jolynna set a tone for mutual respect, which is so useful for the inspection and repair process. Everything went so smoothly, even when our air-conditioner keeled over on moving day. Another agent had grimly opined that we would lose money on our house. We were so glad Jolynna McCune was our agent, and we think she is a fantastic real estate professional. In the end, we were able to put a check in the bank reflecting a great return on our real estate investment.
