ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I embarked on a cross-country move to Fresno -- where neither of us had ever been -- and set out to buy our first home during a global pandemic, a pregnancy, and a job change. From the first conversation we had with Lindsay, she radiated positivity about Fresno and confident optimism about doing this whole process across geographical and social distancing. Usually when we told people we were moving to Fresno, we were met with quizzical looks or grim warnings. But Lindsay was a literal spring of enthusiasm about all things Fresno. She was, however, frank with us about what we should know about Fresno in order to find a niche where we would feel at home and would find a sense of belonging (because as we've learned, there are whole worlds within Fresno).As we embarked on the process of looking for houses in a rapidly heating up seller's market, Lindsay joined us as an enthusiastic collaborator in our house-hunting spreadsheets. She took us on FaceTime tours with detailed narrations of the houses and the neighborhoods. Her knowledge as an appraiser was invaluable, both as a guide for two people buying a house sight-unseen, and also as an education as we considered houses that came with a long list of home-improvement projects.Once we'd made the leap and entered into escrow, Lindsay became our full-time educator, cheerleader, and counselor. There was a LOT that we didn't know about buying a house, negotiating the deal, getting it financed, and maintaining our sanity. Lindsay has been doing this for 17 years but never once did she make us feel like our questions were stupid or that we should have known things that we didn't know. She navigated us through the process, and then when all the balls were in other people's courts she was a source of moral support because there was nothing to do but manage our own anxiety and keep a sense of humor.As closing day approached and we breathed a collective sigh of relief, Lindsay shared her incredible network of people with us. We needed everything from a carpenter to a termite fumigator to a good place to eat. Lindsay set us up with her people, called in favors for us, and genuinely rejoiced with us as she gave us house keys and succulents for our front porch. We could not be more grateful for how much time, education, and care Lindsay gave us during this process. This overly-wordy review cannot say how highly we recommend her to others.
