Jeanne and I had listed our home with another broker and had no success in attracting a buyer. Josette was able to come in and identify the issues which were preventing us from selling and help us to very quickly turn our home into a very sellable product.
She worked tirelessly on our behalf, even painting walls and packing boxes! She’s a tough taskmaster but it’s truly in your best interest to listen to her wisdom – she knows what buyers are looking for and how to make your home show up on their top 3 list. And every detail along the way was taken care of for us all the way up to a very smooth and successful settlement.
We are very thankful for Josette’s knowledge and integrity and her ability to help us make good decisions. We recommend her without reservation as the agent who will help you make good decisions and who will always act in your best interests Sincerely, Ed and Jeanne Reedy
