Experience You Can Trust Since 2006 Client Testimonial "Shirley is an excellent real estate agent. She has a thorough knowledge of all the communities we were interested in, and took the time to really get to know us and understand what we were looking for. She gave us great advice, and we were able to sell our home much faster than I had thought possible. We also found and bought a lovely home quickly in the community of our choice. I would highly recommend Shirley to any of my friends! - Leeann L" "Shirley was very welcoming from the first time we met her at an open house. She took the time to sit with us in her office and explain everything about what we were looking for in our new home. She worked with us for 6 months and helped us buy a great property in Lincoln. She answered all our concerns during negotiation and throughout the buying process. To be more precise, she knew how much a property was worth. Even though the market started to get crazy, she did stop us from over paying for a property and let go off a couple of bidding wars we were involved in. The property we bought, she was intelligent enough to give a range that would help us get the offer accepted. I would recommend her as a real estate agent who can be trusted. - vskumar81" "Shirley was our real-estate agent as we purchased our first home and she was amazing! Not only were we first time buyers with a 6-month old, but we were also looking for a home during the COVID craziness. Shirley kept us informed the entire time and helped us find the perfect home for our family. She is one of the nicest and most thoughtful people I've had the pleasure to know, and we now consider her to be a friend! Shirley is a super star agent and a great person. - Andrew B" "I cannot imagine having a better realtor than Shirley. She is knowledgeable, personable, and fights for her clients. She had our best interest in mind at every step of the process and went out of her way to ensure that we were taken care of. There is not a better agent in the area. - Drew T" "Our entire experience with Shirley was top notch and it was clear to us why she is successful and so highly regarded by her clients from the start! As first time home buyers we couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Shirley made us feel like we were her #1 priority and gently guided us through the entire home buying process. When you work with Shirley you can feel confident knowing that you've got someone in your corner who is experienced and has your best interests in mind. We also loved that Shirley will give her opinion if she thinks something about a house or the process isn't quite right. Shirley has our full recommendation and she will be our first call if we're ever in the market for a home again! - Gus M"
