“I was new to the area so really needed an expert hand to guide me in my home search. Terri was endlessly patient, encouraging and supportive as we looked for the right home for me. She really cares about her clients and discouraged me from buying places that she thought were not in my best interest and where I would not be happy in the long run. She is very knowledgeable and even more important to me, extremely kind, responsive and supportive.”
