Our first time home buying experience was far from normal. Just moving to the area in the middle of the pandemic made it challenging as we didn’t have friends/family to give us advice on neighborhoods and were just learning about the area ourselves. Add the competitive housing market to the mix and we were excited, but nervous to enter the market. Fortunately we were connected with Trina and she made our first time homebuyers experience a joy! Trina truly took us under her wing and treated us as close friends. She was honest with her advice about what to offer, return on investment, or if the house had weird features we were too excited to see. She didn’t let us settle and I’m so grateful for it! After only three weekends of showings we had found the house we loved and Trina worked extremely hard to ensure we got it. After discovering an offer had just been accepted literally on our way home from the showing, Trina made sure to stay connected with the seller’s agent to keep our dreams alive. As Trina always reminded us, “If it’s meant to be it’ll be,” and it was meant to be. Due to Trina’s outgoing, professional, and kind interactions with the sellers agent, when the original offer fell through ours was immediately accepted. Now, our escrow process had some ups and downs, but none due to Trina. The seller and their agent had moments of delayed communication and countering repair requests, but Trina ALWAYS reassured us that we would get this house. She made herself available whenever we had questions and always followed up with us when the seller and their agent where causing delays. Ultimately, Trina was able to coordinate with the seller and their agent to get us a $10,000 credit AND a few crucial repairs. If you’re looking for an agent who will be honest, encouraging, and fight for you Trina is the one! It’s scary out there in this market as a first time homebuyer, but my husband and I are confident in our investment and love our new home thanks to Trina!
