Testimonials

Irene was a recommendation from a good friend who is a Realtor. Irene helped us navigate the process quickly and efficiently. We talked through our requirements and budget and fell in love with the first home we saw. The house had competing offers and Irene helped us secure the winning offer. Irene went above & beyond.

Irene was phenomenal! As first-time home buyers in the current market, buying a house was stressful. Irene walked us through each step, advocated for us, connected us to local resources, and helped us through an intense 6-week process. We can’t recommend her highly enough.
- S.A.K.
When we first met Irene, she had a positive attitude that continued throughout. She listened to what we wanted & our time frame to move out of state. She walked us through selling our home, communicated with our agent out-of-state, & stayed involved to the end. If you're looking to buy or sell, you won't be disappointed in Irene
