“Terri i Parrish is no longer my Realtor....she is my friend! She "held my hand" through a difficult process for me as I am older and not as strong as I have been. She brought me coffee on the days the gas had been stopped and not restarted. She helped me move my belongings to storage! She returned every one of my frantic calls and soothed my concerns. She made sure every i was dotted and t crossed on every document. I must say that if one needs compassion in a Realtor and skills to sell, call Terri. I have one more to sell and she will be the listing agent!”
