Testimonials

  • From start to finish Raemie helped guide us through our first home buying process. She was incredibly helpful with her recommendations and made us feel comfortable with each new step. Always making herself available to help accommodate our crazy schedule was most appreciated. We HIGHLY recommend Raemie to anyone to anyone searching for a kind, considerate and professional real estate agent.

  • Being a novice in the proceedings to buying a house, I was amazed at the ease of the process mostly due to Raemie's vast experience and knowledge. From the first time we spoke I was immediately put at ease in the understanding that I had a valuable ally on my side. If anyone is looking to purchase a home I would highly recommend Raemie, you will not be disappointed.

  • We were told to never trust a realtor, but Raemie proved us wrong. She was a breath of fresh air and then some while dealing with an extremely frustrating real estate experience. We connected with Raemie while casually looking at houses, but could immediately feel a difference from other agents we had spoken to. She was genuine and listened to our wants and needs while buying a new home, as well has helped us straighten things out with a tough agent that was already selling our home! Her home-picks for us were well thought out and she never showed us anything out of our price range or that didn't have the the "charm" we were looking for. While we were impressed by her attention to detail in our home search, the way Raemie really stood out was how she truly had our best interest in mind. We worked with 3 other agents (and spoke with dozens) during our selling-buying experience, and I truly feel Raemie was the only one who worked for and with us, rather than only for herself. She assisted in issues we ran into selling our previous home and really went above and beyond her duties in finding us a new home. Her entire team of brokers and financial agents worked with her gracefully and quickly. Additionally, she navigated a housing shortage and our very specific housing wants and needs to help us secure a beautiful, safe home at a reasonable price. I cannot recommend her enough (or say, if we didn't meet Raemie, we would have been done with realtors for good!) And as a bonus, she had detailed emails sent to us about the prep for moving and checklists for packing. Every step of the way, she was spectacular. We only wish we had found her sooner!

  • As first time home buyers, Raemie helped simplify the daunting process so that we understood what was happening every step of the way. No question was a dumb question and they were always answered ASAP! We were specifically looking for a fixer upper and she was both knowledgeable and honest about each houses worth and potential. On top of that, she bargained us a fantastic deal on our home! My fiance and I would highly recommend Raemie to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
