ZillowVERIFIEDA few months ago I decided to stop letting my fears and excuses hold me back from moving on into my desired third act of life. The biggest beginning step was selling my home. I did the obligatory search for a realtor and immediately received an onslaught of texts, VMs, and emails. All of them telling me how they would love to help me achieve my goals and to call if I had questions. They were all cookie cutter communications and quite frankly the frequency became irritating. All but one: Mary Chapman from this company Id never heard of, Opt Real Estate. Marys email also offered her services, but what sold me was the fact that she took the time to answer questions she figured I would already have. She took the time to include information all of the others had access to. In short, she treated me like I was already family, just like it says on the Opt website. Not only that, but she gave me knowledge and knowledge equals power; the one thing I truly needed to feel I had in this frightening yet exhilarating experience. Selling my home was the single most stressful thing Ive done in a very long time, but Mary, armed with a list of resources that would prove invaluable in getting my home ready for market, held my hand and guided me through every step. She even understood how stressed I was about people coming and going in my home with my cat loose, making the cutest caution signs about him to remind visitors to keep him safe. Look, all realtors have a particular skill set and access to the same information to help you sell or buy your home. Its the extras that matter in this economy. Mary comes armed to the teeth and brings an energy that is palpable. Ive never had a bigger cheerleader outside of my own mother. I truly wish I could have Mary and the Opt team for my home purchase in the state I'm moving to. If you want the very best for your real estate needs, call Mary Chapman. Just meet with her once, I guarantee you will be sold!
