Thank you Shirah Cohen for getting us through what might have been insurmountable tasks of buying and selling. The last time we bought a house was 35 years ago. We had no idea how to navigate the current home buying experience. Shirah walked us through it all with patience and thoughtfulness. In the end we found not only a house, but Shirah was able to negotiate a price that was exactly what we wanted. Buying first and then selling added some complications, but Shirah made it feel seamless. It was the selling of the house that was our home for 35 years where she really excelled. She patiently worked with us to understand and decide what needed to be added and upgraded in our house to ensure a successful sale. She also made sure the contractors did the work as requested within the agreed time frame. She helped us with all the details including bringing a decorator to advice on colors and fixtures, and a staging company to present our former home to its best advantage. She was patient and understanding with us and got asking price in a slowing market after only 10 days on the market. We never felt pressured to move faster than we were ready to or accept something we didn’t understand. You can’t ask for more.
