Allie's incredible organizational, communication and marketing skills helped us realise our dream
A seemingly impossible task... the sale of our slightly dated but comfortingly solid 1970s apartment, upon first engaging Allie late November and with our first open home scheduled early December... and secure contract of sale by Christmas? This incredible woman helped us achieve the dream. I was full of doubt and nerves; she was there as a reassuring presence, always with good advice and gentle timely reminders to guide me through the whole unfamiliar, daunting business, with her impeccable command of paperwork, forms, timelines, marketing strategies and processes. A beautiful pictorial presentation quickly evolved, showing this home as the beautiful, comforting, artful space I think we always felt it could be. Then the visitors/potential buyers who followed, and who Allie followed up - with such detailed reporting on their comments, their needs and their observations on how this property met (or otherwise, in very few cases) their expectations, and what realistic pricing would look like for us, along with prompt reporting of offers and assessment of ones that would stick, and potential hurdles prospective buyers might encounter in the process. I can honestly say, not only that Allie was so completely professional through every single stage of this process, but that she brought something to the table that we never expected from someone engaged to sell real estate. She became a companionable, trusted advisor, giving genuinely warm-hearted feedback when she sensed our spirits were flagging, and always available when we needed her reassurance or guidance, or to gently prompt us when tasks and timelines were crucial. We were thus able to accept an incredible offer just days after our first open home. This was followed up by in-depth reporting on potential buyers, sales in the area, comparable properties and much other useful data to help novices like us understand our own particular sale process better. Allie is definitely one-in-a-million.
