We put the house on the market and received 15 offers within 2.5 days at 35k above asking. Mark helped us negotiate a rentback period at no charge while we closed on our new home. He managed every step and detail for us. On the flipside, Mark also helped us find our new home at exactly the pricepoint and neighborhood we wanted. The negotiation of closing our deals and our move dates required a lot of effort for Mark to make happen. Everything was perfect. Mark is not only the best realtor we have ever used, he is now a family friend. Anyone contracting with Mark will not be sorry.

Stephanie Shrum was a literal SAINT to work with…read more She went above and beyond for my partner and I during our search for our very first home. We were buying a house from long distance (over 1,000 miles away) and couldn't look in person. But Stephanie took such good care of us by taking videos, doing walk throughs, and connecting us with all the local people we needed, that we didn't feel at a disadvantage at all. From day 1, Stephanie made us feel like her main priority (even though we know she is a busy lady). She worked diligently with us on the daily to nail down exactly what we were looking for in a home. I swear she knew what we wanted before we even did! Throughout the entire negotiation process, she had our best interest at heart and was a quick problem solver. She found us the home of our dreams, for a great price, from over 1,000 miles away and held our hands through the whole transaction. Even after it was all said and done, she has gone out of her way to help us out and make our first home buying experience (and move across the country) a delightful and smooth process. Including prepping our home so that when we walked in it was ready for a good first night's sleep. The attention to detail was unbelievable and she truly listened to our needs and exceeded every single one of our expectations. We could not recommend her enough!!! Thank you Stephanie Shrum for everything!

He even toured a home for us and FaceTimed us when we couldn't visit in person to see it. His professionalism shone through above everyone else during and after the sale. We consider him a friend and family now. When we found our dream home he guided us on how to make the best offer we could afford, and we got the house. He followed the sale through escrow and made sure everything was in order. He also uses a GREAT escrow company that kept in touch with us and followed the sale of our home so they could close one day apart. He worked nonstop for us, and we can never thank him enough.

The good and the bad. I used Terri for a number of years and she was pretty good as an agent for…read moreboth buying and selling. I have purchased one home and sold three properties with Terri. Terri is motivated to get that commission and this is a good thing. You want your agent hungry! Where I believe Terri shines is in showing houses. She is fierce about committing her attention to just the client. She dives deep to understand what you want and she will NOT waste your time. For me the best experience was buying a home with Terri. I thought the experience was nothing short of remarkable and something I bragged about to many. Terri is a ZERO stress agent and she offers unlimited effort to show a home and point out the good and bad. When selling my properties, Terri was and is 100% available to you. She is charming. She has the best smile. She has a calming way about here. She is in control and that is her goal, to take that stress from you when it comes for looking for or selling a home. A real pro. In my case, she was there to help me stage, pack, pick up packing paper, boxes, packing tape, food, clean, check to make sure I packed everything, and when I wasn't at the house, she moved my trash out. You name it - she does whatever she can to showcase your home. Anything I needed as it related to helping me get the house ready and maintained for sale, she was on it relentlessly. She fights hard for that commission and that's what you want in a SUPER PRO AGENT and that is Terri Chapman. As with anything, there are things that can go wrong - unfortunately. And this happened because I believe she stepped out of her sphere of profession. During my packing and moving, Terri spearheaded the moving company California Moving Systems to pack and move my household. A firm she has worked with for over a decade and according to the owner, Chris. Terri and him are personal friends. Terri did not confirm the friendship, though. Because of over the decade plus relationship with Terri I believed I could trust all thing Terri and did not question her recommendations outside of realty. I let Terri steer the moving project because strangely it was difficult to communicate with the moving company unless Terri was directly involved in some way or herself asking the questions. RED FLAG. I will save the California Moving Systems [CMS] review in another post with photos and text/email snapshots to prove it - it's not good. I will point this out, they break rocks! - I have photos! Sadly, to say the least, this transaction did not go well with Terri involved. In fact, the CMS move was so destructive that it strained our relationship and terminated it. This is unfortunate and as we all know, when we work with professionals that are deep into our personal lives such as our homes, our finances, our possessions and relationships. And this is the tough park that Agents and Clients have to navigate. It gets personal because the work is personal. The both of you become family. There is trust involved and a level of friendship while navigating the the sales process. Sigh. The massive moving destruction and the way my agent handled it broke my heart, cost me 10s of thousands and left me ...devastated with zero options. I did not expect Terri to "pay" but I did expect her to use her position to advocate and this did not happen. She left me with a response, "I don't know what to say." And after the bitter discussions it became clear, the issue is not her fault directly, it was that I believe she operated outside of what makes her a great agent. Terri want's to make everyone happy. She really does and this experience is a hard lesson. When you refer and then champion the referral, you take on a measure of personal accountability because the clients can be vulnerable. They trust you with their hearts and their wallets...and when they make decisions based on their trusted professional, you have to be their for them. Advocate and maintain that trust. Even if things still go south, the agent must remain a trusted advocate and help the client achieve if possible, justice. In closing, this is where I think Terri might re-evaluate stepping outside of what she does best, being an Agent. After all, it's fair and reasonable that she has not influence over, for example, a moving company...even if she is or not friends with the owner. Better could be providing a list of moving company options and urging the client to research/looks for recommendations. Though Terri and I no longer work together. Without hesitation, I recommend her as an agent. Even so, be mindful for any recommendations outside the scope of what she has absolute control and expertise. You don't want to go down a path were ultimately she can't be accountable for a reference she strongly urges such as a moving company that can destroy large portions of your life. You will like her but do your home work!
