I am glad to have worked with Cathy to purchase my first home. She was there for every step of the process. Before beginning to look at listings, Cathy sat down with me to understand what I was looking for, my budget, things I might want in a home (and things I didn't). She also provided me with a detailed first-time home buyers package and went over items specific to first time home buyers, and how they worked. From there, Cathy set me up on her portal where I was notified of new listings that fit my criteria. When I saw a house I liked, I let Cathy know and she set up showings, making sure they worked with my schedule. Cathy attended all of the showings with me on a number of weekends and evenings (even once when she could barely walk- what a trooper!). She helped me to evaluate pros and cons of each property, really working through whether I wanted to make an offer. Cathy was very thorough explaining the offer process and going through all of the paperwork with me before I signed. When I successfully had an offer accepted, Cathy continued to work closely with me to ensure the mortgage broker had all the necessary information, paperwork, etc. and to set up a building inspection so that I was fully comfortable. When we needed a return visit to the house and Cathy was unavailable, she still made it work with my schedule by having another agent attend and help out.
Overall, Cathy was very accommodating of my schedule, while ensuring she was very thorough with me so that I was comfortable with the entire process and was able to secure a great first home.
Thank you Cathy!
