"Terri made it as simple as possible"

"The first-time home buying process is daunting, but Terri made it as simple as possible for me and my wife. She walked us through every step and thoroughly explained what was happening and why... She was honest and frank when we visited listings, letting us know whether she considered if what we saw was worth our time or might be more trouble than its worth... She'll be the first person we call whenever we decide to sell our house and we couldn't recommend her services enough.
