" saved us thousands of $$"

I highly recommend working with Aileen. She has been fantastic to work with - professional, friendly, honest, prompt, and diligent. My wife and I re-located to Tampa from Seattle last fall, and we interviewed several agents before deciding to work with Aileen. We liked the idea that she is working exclusively for us (she has other clients, but no one selling, obviously) and there are no potential conflicts of interest. She also has a ton of experience in many markets around the country, and she was very knowledgeable about the areas we were focusing on - South Tampa and St Pete.

We were very up-front with Aileen and told her that we are fairly high-maintenance in that we want a lot of communication and we will be very involved in the process, especially when we're ready to move on a house. That's simply how our personalities are, and she has been phenomenal in her follow-up, communication, and in her recommendations. I'm sure she saved us thousands of $$ in our negotiation for the home we just got under contract on – she read the seller and his agent perfectly and encouraged us to stick by our initial offer and not negotiate. Sure enough, after trying to counter, the seller ended up accepting our initial offer. It was a risk, but she had earned our trust by then and it paid off.

Thanks,
