"Kara andPaulwere amazinginhelpingusbuythe home of our dreams! Kara took the time to understand the criteria we were looking for, sent all options to explore, and then made sure that when we submitted a bid, it was a competitive offer based on her thorough research on the comps and what would be the ideal/ terms/price, etc. Paul also pre-read all the house disclosures and translated this into layman's terms which were invaluable in understanding what we were in for. Kara and Paul had our best long-term interest in mind and operated with the highest integrity ? it was not at all about "closing a deal". Kara and Paul also worked closely with our banker on the best bid terms and then also worked closely with the title company to close on the house in a seamless fashion.
