Courtney was a great help in navigating the selling process and doing the marketing and detail work…read morerelated to selling our condo. This was in a challenging market for condos generally and in our area particularly. She had terrific insights on pricing, including analyzing feedback from tours and sales of other units nearby and suggesting next moves. Her advice on preparing for listing led to universal comments about how well our unit showed and its features and condition. Our listing was stellar, with the write-up highlighting all the attractive aspects of our home. The photos from her vendor were perfect and she selected the ones that displayed the condos best features and making it look as spacious as it is. We had frequent showings compared to other condos in our complex, which we felt was due to presentation of the listing plus saavy pricing based on her advice. Courtney handled negotiations and details with the offers we received and helped net the best outcome in a tough market. All the while, she kept us updated on the market, was in touch with us on expectations, and ultimately was the key to the condo selling in less time than other units listed around the same time as ours. I would recommend Courtney without reservation as both a seller agent, and for buyers knowing her attention to detail and strong advocacy for her clients

As "snowbirds", when we leave our Arizona residence, we negotiate with an agency to monitor…read moresecurity, perform essential maintenance, and ensure the appearance of the yard meets basic HOA standards. In March 2016, we selected Home Monitor of Litchfield Park based on their written advertisement that stated "We will watch over your property and keep up maintenance while you are away..." and "During weekly/monthly inspections, we video record the current condition of your property so you can see it for yourself.". We actually paid extra to ensure yard work was performed. Between April and October, we received a brief 2-3 sentence email once a month that informed us of the weather, temperature, and concluded with "Your house is in great/good shape.". We never saw a video recording. In June, we were contacted by neighbors via text and cell phone photographs that the plants, bushes, and trees in our yard were grossly overgrown to the extent the bougainvillea was extending over the privacy wall into adjacent yards. Trash and debris had also accumulated in the entryway. We contacted Home Monitor, expressed our disappointment with the quality of service, and the immediate problem was resolved. After receiving similar emails over the next three months, but no video recordings, we returned to Arizona unannounced. We were dismayed with what we found. Bougainvillea was growing over the privacy wall into neighboring yards, bushes and trees were overgrown, desert weeds were prevalent, two citrus trees were dead, and the entryway was blocked by a pile of debris and trash. We subsequently terminated Home Monitor, changed all the locks, installed a security system, and hired someone else to monitor our property.
