My fiancée and I got into the market with very moderate expectations for finding our “forever home”. We expressed to Betsy that we wanted to stay in the much-desired Kentlands neighborhood, but had very selective criteria for what we were searching for in terms of size, location, price, and layout. Since we already owned a home in the neighborhood, we were prepared for the process to take months, if not years. Simply put, we were not going to settle on just any home. In a matter of weeks, Betsy found us our “forever home” (a beautiful single-family cottage in the heart of the Kentlands), and then sold our existing residence in a matter of days. There’s no doubt that her knowledge of the market and relationships with other key players (listing agent, lender, etc.) enabled us to get into a home we couldn’t have dreamed of living in when we began the process.
