Relocating to Seattle
for a new job was an overwhelming experience. Living out of a hotel room
with 3 dogs sounds crazy = and it was! Finding a home quickly became a top
priority. I had no idea where to even begin looking for a place to live, so I
was very fortunuate to have been referred to Irene Rel.
Irene graciously
took me under her wing and introduced me to Seattle
. She showed me a variety of neighborhoods which helped me narrow down
where i saw myself living. Irene tried to keep me on track and focused and
showed a tremendous amount of patience and genuine concern during this whole
process as i must have changed my mind a million times. She went out of her way
to spend a lot of time working with me, not only in person, but also behind the
scenes researching properties and bargaining with other agents. She not only
considered what i was able to afford, but also my life issues, such as my dogs,
commute time, etc. Thankfully, she was with me every step of the way while i
tried to figure out what i wanted.
When i finally
found my dream home, pricing and financing became an issue. Persistence is
Irene's middle name. She was determined that i should have my dream home and
set about making it happen. She was able to get the builder to accept a
substantially reduced offer as well as a few extras. She also found me a great
lender who was able to work some magic to get me financing which allowed me to
purchase the home.
What was truly
special about the entire experience with Irene was that she was not interested
in wrapping up a quick sale, but in making sure the the home i ended up in would
be "the one". I can tell you it is "the one" and i absolutely love my new home!
I really appreciate all of her time and effort that made owning my dream home a
reality. Thanks Irene!!
