Testimonials

Theresa helped us with the sale of our home as well as the purchase of a new home. Theresa was thoughtful and attentive through the whole process. She took the time to understand what was important to us and our family. We 'thought' we were going to have to lease a home and/or rent after we sold  in order to get into another home. However, Theresa was able to negotiate a lease back for use which means we only had to move ONCE! Which was awesome. She was very flexible and understanding/patient through the whole process. - The Joyners

Theresa was my broker/agent. The transaction was a long process. I was the seller and, after initially listing the property, I decided to sell just a portion of the land so I had to get the property subdivided while the contract was pending. The subdivide took seven months. Theresa was great in  communicating with both me and the buyer's agent and her diligence was a key to keeping the buyers involved. I have used her before and her professionalism in that transaction was the reason I used her again. - Keith Taniguchi

We were trying to sell our property, but our management company was dragging us along. Theresa jumped on board and from the get go, she let her experience take over, we have never met someone who was so easy to work with. Theresa is very easy to communicate with and always a phone call or a  message away. Will work with her and her team from now on. - William Huang

It was a pleasure to work with Theresa on the sale of my home. She made what could have been an extremely stressful process very smooth and seamless. I would love to work with Theresa again! - Sara Kim

I want to thank you for the exceptional job you did with selling my Mother's home; from preparing it to go on the market, to the closing. You were there for me when I was completely overwhelmed and at my wits end with my Mother passing away. You were very understanding, knowledgeable, and  professional and I really appreciate you making this process effortless. I highly recommend you to anyone that is putting their home on the market. It was truly a pleasure to have worked with you. - Marvis Watson Jr.
