"As our Realtor, Colleen Wilcox helped us find the right house, in the right neighborhood, and for the right price. She was patient as we looked at a number of homes over several months and cautioned us about making unreasonable offers.
The best part about working with Colleen was that she was always available to answer our questions and give us good advice. We would recommend her to anyone. She knows the market very well and does her due diligence before we even get to the property. She sees all the important details of the house and is good at eliminating many of the houses that are wrong for us. She is super responsive, available and patient. She knows how to negotiate honestly and effectively. Because of Colleen’s advice not settle for less than what we dreamed of, we are now living in a home that we love.
