“From the showing of the condo, the preapproval of the application the signing of the seller and the buyer all took about six hours. This is excellent for me. I needed a place that my wife and I could live together for the rest of our lives and we will thank you very much, Angie.”
“In preparing for the sale and facilitating the final sale of a property with several difficulties, Angela Averill and her team were very helpful and exceptionally patient--particularly, her team members, Kylie and Dalanie, who were kind at the closing by listening to my frustrations regarding issues over which they had no control. This property sale helped our organization greatly and wouldn't have worked out as well without this great team of realtors. Thank you for everything!”
“Professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful Where do I start, Amy went above and beyond to help me, guided me, supported me, reassured me, and respected my every wish. I am not an easy client to say the least. Amy was my support that I didn't have, being by myself with nobody to bounce concerns and ideas off was difficult for me, and she was just that. I've bought several houses in the past and never once have I used the same realtor until Amy. I worked with a different realtor by the name Lori Periard from Century 21 and she was a nightmare. Amy drove me around, helped me find a house, car, insurances and anything else I needed to make my transition as smooth as possible. I respect Amy, have much admiration for her. I plan to use Amy for my next adventure. I can't thank Amy enough.”

She is effecient in all aspects of the details, there was essentially no worries. she and her outstanding team walk you through the process in a very easy to navigate process.”
