Laurencio A. bought a home in Tumwater

Lorraine was very professional who listened to our needs and wants. We were out of state during the buying process and we could tell that she really understood where we were coming from. We were first-time homebuyers with little knowledge about the homebuying process. We never felt forced to make an offer on multiple homes which always ended up in a bidding war. She was very calm and comforting everytime our offer did not get accepted. Just to reiterate, she is NOT pushy at all. She always ensured that we were the ones that would make the final decision. She promptly answered all of our questions which resulted in an informed decision on our end. She really fought for us to get our first home. Lorraine, your hardwork and dedication did not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything, Lorraine!"

I had a great time working with Lorraine. She made the process of finding a new home incredibly easy. I'll be sure to use her services again on my next real estate venture."
