I have worked with RE/MAX Preferred Properties since 2009 and Nancy Balchunas, specifically, since 2012. When I decided to move in with my now-husband and turn my first home purchase into a rental property, Nancy managed the entire process -- including sourcing tenants with the same level of scrutiny and high expectations that I would have done myself. The only difference is that Nancy did all the hard work for me! She communicated with me frequently over the next 3 years and 2 tenants. In 2015, Nancy helped me list and sell my place after I got married. The process was handled with the extreme care and professionalism I had come to expect from Nancy and her team. Nancy was very practical with the items she felt needed to be paid for to get my place ready to sell, and the contractors she recommended were both extremely professional and reasonably priced. Again, Nancy took most of the burden off me. So it was a no brainer when, in 2018, my husband and I called Nancy to help us purchase our first single family home for our growing family. Most of what Nancy recommended we do to list our place involved cleaning/decluttering; she minimized our personal expense to the extent possible but was very honest when she felt something should be done to help with the sale. Nancy sold my husband's townhouse in just a few days for more than our asking price, and she spent months very patiently working with us to find the perfect home -- starting well before we listed the townhouse and a month after the sale. I was very particular: I wanted a certain style home within a certain budget, and the school district was extremely important to us (something neither of us had ever had to consider before). Nancy knew I would not be happy settling. She never pressured or rushed us (really, the whole process took many months), and she always had our best interest at heart. Sure enough, we found our perfect home and closed in August. We hope to live in our home for many years but, whenever the time comes to move again, I could not imagine working with anyone else but Nancy. Simply put, Nancy cares about her clients. She's helped me find or manage my home through every major milestone in my life and I cannot recommend her enough. read more
