Elyse was proactive and ultra-responsive – with timely answers to our questions and concerns.." - Robert & Victoria

Her recommendations were always spot on. A very accomplished business executive with terrific real estate knowledge. We received advise on the areas to update our house, who the contractor should be. Staging the house and who should do that. We received recommendations on real estate attorneys and what to pay attention to.

" We wanted to express our thanks to you for the fantastic service that you provided throughout the entire process of selling our home.

She is very professional, honest and knowledgeable in her Kraft. She advised us about the best staging for the house and provided us excellent advice in dealing with the many issues that arise over the course of the sales process.
