“Patty (and her husband Mike) were terrific. Patty is the consummate professional. She is well connected with agents and service providers, knows the real estate market and skillfully guides you through the process. I retained Patty several years ago when I purchased my house -- and hired her again when I sold it. Throughout my recent engagement, she was prepared, responsive and caring. She and Mike were particularly helpful when the house went under contact and I had to relocate quickly. They handled numerous tasks for me before closing while I was unavailable, then again when I moved to Virginia. Thank you Patty (and team Stellern) for outstanding service and assistance!”
“Thanks Jon !! You did a great job.”
