We are highly recommending Rachel Markus and the Oakes Realty Team. Rachel recently helped us sell…read moreour family home. It was difficult - we had been in this home for more than 10 years. Rachel Markus and Daniel Oakes treated us and our home with great respect and care. After meeting with them for the first time, we realized that they provided extra services compared to other realtors. They are almost a one-stop-shop: professional photography of the property, filming a promotional video, filming the virtual tour, staging the home (through their collaboration with an excellent interior designer), moving our furniture in/out of the home to set up the new staging, and of course, listing, promoting and selling the property. All of this is included in the price of the commission, which is completely reasonable compared to other agents.
Our house sold quickly, and at an excellent price. We were surprised by how easy it was, but Rachel reassured us each step along the way and explained the process very clearly. She knew it was hard for us to leave our home, but also particularly difficult to sell a house during a pandemic (when everything is shut down, where do you take your family while house showings are going on?). But she treated us with respect and supported us through the process. Her advice regarding each stage of the sales process was compassionate, helpful and precise - she knows what she's doing!
Most importantly, the house sold promptly and we were very happy with the process. Rachel and her team are a perfect example of the services that professional real estate agents provide to homeowners. I couldn't imagine trying to do everything that Rachel and her team did as part of a private/online sale. It just isn't practical. The services Rachel provided were definitely worth the price.
Overall, we give our highest recommendation to Rachel and the Oakes Realty Team. Please consider her for your next sale or house-purchase!
