I would definitely recommend Louise to anyone looking to buy a house! My fiancé and I worked with her to purchase our first house and I could not imagine a better experience! She is always one phone call away and will go above and beyond for her clients. She informs you of all possible properties in a timely fashion. She is very professional and works with your schedule. When viewing properties, she is one to give you the good, the bad, and the ugly to make sure you are completely aware of what you are looking at. She has a level of expertise that is second to none. We felt completely comfortable with all the advise she gave and she made the house buying process so easy. Not only because she is amazing, but because everyone she works with or recommends is fantastic as well. She will absolutely make the house buying experience as smooth as possible.

When we made the decision to sell our home, we consulted our family and friends for a real estate agent. The person mentioned was Louise. We could not have been happier with our decision to use Louise’s services. In our first contact with Louise via phone call, she was courteous, professional, and focused on our objectives. When Louise followed up with a visit to our home, she was prepared to the point of having a booklet prepared with not only information on how the home selling process would occur, but also had already assessed our home’s worth. When pictures were being taken of our home a couple of days later, comments were made to us on well we prepared and presented the house. This would not have been possible without Louise’s suggestions. The pictures were then collated and presented not in a simple one-page sheet of information but a beautiful four-page brochure. The website listing was just as impressive in its display. Putting a house on the market in November, at the beginning of the holiday season, could lead to a lengthy waiting period for an offer. However, the results of Louise’s work came when we received an offer on our house in less than three days. The offer blew us away, and there was no way we were going to pass on it. After we accepted the offer, Louise continued her proactive manner by contacting us and keeping us informed on each step of the home selling process. Most of the time, she would call or text us before we could even come up with questions to ask her. When we did have a question, she answered them promptly, thoroughly, and in language that was easy to understand. Having explained the closing meeting procedures to us ahead of time, Louise made the day an easy, stress free affair. She has followed up with us subsequently to see she could help us with anything else. This included information about the area in which we purchased our new home. We know that the market is full of real estate agents. We also know, however, how blessed we were to be able to have Louise sell our home. The world would be a much better place if it were populated with people like Louise. Without any reservations, we will highly recommend her to any of our family or friends who are in the market to buy or sell a home.

Louise did a phenomenal job finding us our first house! She was extremely professional and always a step ahead of the game. As first time home buyers, we had a million questions which Louise always answered quickly and accurately along with a load of tips and tricks she's picked up from all of her real estate experience. Thank you Louise!

We contacted Louise in the spring of 2012 and asked her opinion on selling our house at that time. She indicated housing sales were stagnant and we would not get back what we paid for our home. She suggested some things to do around the house to help get it sold, so we did them plus a few other projects.
Louise contacted us again in spring of 2013 and she said this time sales were picking up. She liked the changes we made and said they may not bring us extra money but would help sell the house.  She had us price it aggressively and used a professional photographer for photos of the house and rooms. 
When it appeared we would get multiple offers, she talked us into not taking the first offer but accept all offers until a specific date, which brought in a large number of lookers. In the end, we had 7 offers and we picked the best one.  She returned calls quickly and answered all questions, no matter how silly they may have sounded.
She also helped us considerably when the realtor in the town we were buying our new home turned out to be a poor realtor. Louise helped by directing us as to what to do, and who to ask for help.  She held our hands through the entire process. She is VERY organized and always on time when deadlines are approaching.
I would not hesitate to use Louise again for selling or buying a house.
