“It's been great working with Bobbi - she is very responsive (never once missed a phone call or text), always on point but never pushy, be it her advice on pricing changes or negotiating an offer or following up on repairs. She arranged multiple open houses, brought in a steady stream of potential buyers, helped us a lot thru the whole process, made it easy for us even after we moved out of state and got our home sold just before the winter hit. Loved working with her and would definitely recommend her. ”

“The request was responded to by three different potential agents and I was able to finalize my selection the same day. John Campobasso worked out great. This was a very difficult and complicated sale, and he was great navigating the multiple parties involved to get this to a completed transaction.”
