    Sawsan did an amazing job in helping me purchase my first home. She was super responsive and worked through all of my requests so quickly. She was able to find me the perfect first house within days of meeting, and once I put an offer in, she helped ensure I closed quickly while making sure the property was properly inspected and all repairs were made. She was so helpful and answered every question I had, and provided great recommendations on additional resources like the inspector, plumbers, etc. I highly recommend working with Sawsan if you are looking to buy a home.
