Mercedies was amazing helping us find a home in our price range. Shes extremely knowledgeable in what she does and thinks of everything when inspecting a home you are going to live in. When it came time for closing she was a great advocate for us. She puts her heart into everything she does from start to finish.

Working with Mercedies was fantastic! As first-time home buyers, it was great to work with someone who was very knowledgeable about the home-buying process and took the time to thoroughly answer any questions we had. Mercedies was always quick to respond which was very important in a highly competitive market. She was also very patient as we looked at several homes before settling in on one.

We had a very complicated buying process with a lot of moving parts and Mercedies always had our back. She was kind, flexible, empathetic to our needs. Especially since my dad had recently passed when we started our house search.She also took intitiave without being pushy. You felt you had someone in your corner butt who was also honest with you. She didnt give her opinion on houses unless you asked for it to let you form your own. She felt like a friend while still being professional. Anyone who does not pick her is missing out.

We worked with Mercedies to help sell and purchase a home. We were in a crunch due to expecting our second child in early November. As it was our second time purchasing a home and first time selling a home, Mercedies was there every step of the way. She was professional, attentive, and willing to adjust her schedule in any way to ensure we got into a new home as soon as possible. She had GREAT contacts that helped us along the way - inspection (gentleman did amazing), contractor to review a spot in a home and get a quote in a timely manner, and a well-rounded closing gentleman who made the process slick and stress-free. We were well taken care of and hope future clients get the opportunity to work with Mercedies. We are now in a beautiful home and are eager to recommend her to friends and family members in the future.
