EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS, the savings was our bonus. Testimonial

When we decided to sell our house in this somewhat challenging housing market we knew we were taking a risk, however, after our first meeting with Mary Skanavis from Homeowners Concept we knew we were going to have a knowledgeable and experienced professional by our side.

From the beginning Mary gave us straight-forward facts about our home sale. Unlike some of her competitors, she wasn’t telling us what we wanted to hear; she gave us a clear understanding of what our house was worth and how best to get the maximum price for the home. Together we came up with a “game plan” for how we were going to tackle our home sale. We also felt very comfortable after finding out that she is in the top 2% of agents as most of her coworkers are.

Like a good coach, Mary had almost daily correspondence with us informing us how showings went, how other houses in the market were doing and advice on how we could improve the success of selling our own home. Through that dedication we were able to sell our house remarkably fast and we sacrificed very little in the process. I cannot stress enough how thorough and involved Mary was, especially with answering all of our questions.

When it came time to buying our new house the decision to use Mary as our buying agent was an easy one.We ended up buying the house of our dreams and she negotiated the price saving us a substantial amount of money.

Working with Mary goes way beyond her expertise in the real estate industry. You can easily tell she enjoys her job and the challenges that come with it. She is very encouraging and charismatic and I would encourage anyone to work with her for buying or selling a home and the savings in commissions was a bonus.
