A smaller share of homes, just over one in ten, are closing above list price compared with much higher shares seen in 2023.

“Amy Patton assisted our church in the sale of our parsonage. In our initial meetings, she came across as a "Professional." We had contacted another Realtor at a very successful brokerage, but that person was, it seemed, a bit too successful, in that she set up an appointment, but failed to show, with no communication as to why, both before and after. Communication is the key, and that particular agent failed miserably. Amy Patton, throughout the entire process, never failed to communicate, responding to questions, situations, and, in general, shepherding our flock through the process flawlessly. There were a couple of hiccups that she took in stride, responded to and kept those who needed to know in the loop, As for other aspects of the sale, pricing, negotiations, clientele, etc., Amy was nearly impeccable, which was to be expected from an agent of her abilities and knowledge. It would be impossible to find a better Realtor to serve our needs.”

“As a first time buyer, the process to buy a home can be very intimidating and at times overwhelming. However, Sinai and her team made the process as easy and as manageable as possible with reminders and due dates along the way so you always know what's coming up next. With Sinai's help I was able to find a place that I am so happy with. My only regret is not doing this sooner!”
