Words cannot begin to describe how grateful my husband and I are to have found a realtor like Connie Lee with Berkshire Hathaway to come into our lives! Not only are the two of us newlyweds, but we just moved to St. Louis from New Orleans and felt incredibly overwhelmed at the process of finding a new home. Everyone we met seemed to have an opinion as to which neighborhood in St. Louis would be the best fit for us, and we had an extremely stressful time-crunch on our hands - one month to find our forever home. We met with two different real estate agencies that ended up not being able to fit our needs. Whether it was me being extremely detailed about floor plans or needing more care in someone to provide us with good advice on choosing the perfect neighborhood or my husband needing someone to clear their schedule for the entire weekend to take us to see homes in hopes of meeting our tight deadline. After seeing over twenty homes across the St. Louis metro area, I felt like we were at a dead end until we had the opportunity to meet Connie with Berkshire Hathaway. She took the time to listen to our individual needs and somehow managed to quickly grasp the style, look, and inspiration for the dream home that we were both envisioning in our minds. I will never forget one of the first homes Connie showed - which we both immediately loved. It was a relief that someone finally understood what we both were looking for. Then she said, “Just wait… I think this next one is something that you both are going to love!” I didn’t have a ton of optimism at this point, but Connie couldn’t have found a more perfect fit for us. I was blown away at the very moment that we stepped into our new home, because I knew that it was the one that we would start our family in and where we could build a life together for the future. The neighborhood was everything I’d dreamed it would be - just close enough to the city but far enough to give us the privacy that we were craving. From choosing the right home to closing the deal, Connie was there every single step of the way. She guided us through the inspection, helped us find the local help and vendors that we needed to make home improvements before we moved in, and selected an incredible inspection group that made this whole daunting process extremely easy. Throughout the entire process, there was a feeling of security working with Connie - because no matter what - we felt like we had someone that we could trust by our side who would help us and always answer our calls (i.e. one time, she was up until midnight texting my husband to help us with figuring out finances!). Huge thanks from the bottom of my heart to Connie for everything she did for our growing family - and another thanks to Berkshire Hathaway for providing such incredible service to a couple who was new to town - but now feel more confident than ever about calling St. Louis our home.
