Althea Roy, Kale Realty

My fiance and I first worked with Althea in the spring of 2017 when we purchased our first multi unit property and then again in the summer of 2018. I can not emphasize enough how great her work ethic and communication is. She is very knowledgeable and up to date with the real estate developments throughout the city. I can still turn to Althea for any questions or advice. I'm very happy we found her to help us through our journey.

Great buying experience. Althea help us find our home and two investment properties.

A few hours ago, my slumlord Humberto Camancho and someone named Victor from Kale Realty showed up unannounced to my unit. They started banging in the door. I was just getting out of the shower, was undressed, and was in sight of Humberto and Victor while they were banging on the door. When they came in, they tried to shake me down for $100. It was pretty intimidating but I told them "I'd talk with my wife" and they left. Victor threatened me before he left about how I'm potentially making a big mistake by not giving him some money. I feel like I have no choice but to report both of these individuals to the BBB and police. Here's a recent picture of a bed bug from my unit:

I highly recommend Kevin. Extremely professional, honest and resourceful. He helped me purchase my home even when challeges existed. Kevin was always available for guidance and discussion. Thank you Kevin. I will never forget how much you and Kendra put into helping me enjoy this amazing experience. Forever grateful and satisfied.

They are great! especially when you mix it with some ripe tomatoes, add a nice salad dressing, and vuala! oh crap, I always mix up my Kale(s)! Kidding. Seriously though, There's nothing more delicious than finding an experienced real estate company, that's local, and knows the markets better than the big chain companies? Kale has a lot of focus not only on buying and selling, but also with rentals and property management. Buying real estate isn't just about the "purchase," but about protecting your long term investment. Their office is right in the heart of Lincoln Park, but they are familiar all over our region. I've had help from the 'burbs, thru the far north side and SW side of the city.

The requirements listed for apt rentals for properties managed by them in a particular property 2101 leavitt in chicago is misleading. the requirements were met per the listing details and then I was denied based on a seemingly frivolous point from the landlord. Credit score says 700 on the listing I met the requirement. This was misleading. I wouldn't have wasted $65 for credit report if I was going to knowingly be denied based on the whims of a property owner. RENTERS BEWARE!!!

I had the displeasure of opposing Lefter Tasho (from Kale Realty) in a real estate transaction. He was deceptive, manipulative and completely unprofessional throughout the entire transaction. His conduct seemed motivated by the fact that my clients were a same-sex African American couple as well as by the fact that he lacked the basic knowledge of the professional rules of his profession.

I recently got involved in the real estate multi-family rental market. After purchasing my first multi-family building, I attempted to obtain tenants on my own. After a few weeks of attracting undesirable tenants, I decided that I should seek out some professional assistance. I reached out to Kale Realty and Tristan Horacio was the one that began providing great service. Tristan was very knowledgeable, professional and reliable when it came to any questions and concerns that I had. After speaking with Tristan, I decided to let him handle the process of finding tenants for my building. Just within a two day period, he was able to help me rent out my units without any issues. Tristan handled all of the showings, leases and everything else in between. The tenants that have occupied the space are wonderful and I will definitely be working with Tristan again! Even when I call Tristan know for a random real estate question, he is always there and willing to help. I am so grateful to have found Kale Realty. I highly recommend Kale Realty and Tristan Horacio to anyone getting into real estate!

I recently had the pleasure of working with real estate agent Vanessa Gonzalez. She has been in the real estate industry for quite some time and is very experienced. I know 2022 was not the ideal time to purchase a home, especially with the market being what it was for home buyers. I can tell you we looked at several homes. She was always available to show properties and had a very quick response time. She was extremely patient and always gave her professional opinion, the good and the bad. My family has worked with other agents in the past and many times those agents would highlight all the great things in the home but would not tell us of the things we should look out for. It felt like they were trying to get the sale. This was not at all my experience with Vanessa. I never felt rushed into putting an offer onto a home that I was on the fence about. Especially given that at the time many buyers were over bidding and homes were off the market within a couple of days. She always worked within my financial means and offered great advice on the value of homes and the best offer to submit (with her extensive knowledge she was on point every time) . Being a well-seasoned agent, she had great recommendations for home inspectors, mortgage lenders, real estate attorney, etc. I always felt like I was in the best hands throughout the whole process. Because of my great experience with her, I referred her to a family friend who was selling a home at the time. My friend only had great things to say about her as well, and was very impressed with her knowledgeability, professionalism, and honesty. If you like an agent that is: Professional Knowledgeable Experienced Proactive Reliable Available Patient You should ask for Vanessa Gonzalez. As I and the individuals I have referred to her have nothing but positive feedback on their experience. So glad I worked with her!

Horacio Tristan of Kale Realty is amazing! He helped me find an amazing investment and walked me through whole process. We've closed and not the renovation starts. Super excited because I have guidance from Horacio. Thank you, Horacio!

My husband and I just spoke with an agent named Lefter Tasho and he was very rude and disrespectful. We are investors and we called regarding a property he has listed. I don't know if Mr Tasho was having a bad day but it is unacceptable to treat a potential client in that manner. He cursed, he words were condescending and it was like pulling teeth to get answers to our questions. Lefter Tasho gives realtors a bad name. Dealing with the public is clearing not his wheelhouse and he should consider another profession. Liiterally, 15 minutes after posting my experience with Lefter, he calls my husband and curses at him. I have the prod and it sounds like harassment if he contacts us again.

Roberto L is a great realtor! He is very polite and respectful, he's not a bells and whistle person. He's results driven, and always kept me abreast. My Mom's house was on the market for only two weeks before an offer was made and sold within 90 days. If you're looking for a go to realtor. I highly recommend Roberto. Lisa

This morning I got a call at home to see if I wanted to sell my house. The connection was bad and had to clarify who was calling. When checking the caller ID during the call, the ID was spoofed 'Cellular caller 666". When I figured out what the caller wanted, I told them that we are on the FCC Do Not Call list (like that really works) and I don't appreciate cold calls. When looking at the Realtor Code of Ethics, it seems they don't follow Articles 12-4, 13-10, and 13. I found out later that the caller had a Wisconsin area code representing a realtor in Illinois. 608-371-6666. Not cool, Kale!!

We worked with Horacio Tristan and everything was great. We'd been left in a tight spot when our tenants vacated unexpectedly (long story) and had only a month to find new tenants. He had people looking within a couple of days and had it narrowed down to a handful of good candidates within a week or two. He was communicative and responsible and saved us a lot of headache and lost rent. Work with Horacio if you get the chance. Edit: I'm writing this review 1 yr after the fact because our same tenants just renewed their lease, which is great, and Horacio put together the new lease with all the changes pro bono.

We worked with Jacob Mathers of Kale Realty and had a great experience in buying a single family home in Naperville. Jacob was available to tour the home and others in the area. His skill and experience during negotiations and the attorney review period were invaluable as we had several points of contention during the inspection. I would use him and Kale again.

I really hope that I can contact Kale Realty to help me on my next move. I really wished I knew about about this real estate company before moving into my current apartment. They have affordable listings in the Lake View area, and I really want them to help me find my next apartment. I'm looking forward to contacting Kale Realty in the summer months of 2019 to help me find my next apartment.

We recently purchased a home through Monica Knapp at Kale. She showed us multiple options so that we could find the right fit. Monica was organized, responsive, highly knowledgable and went the extra mile to help us understand the community that we were moving into. I would certainly work with Monica again to find another home if we had the need.

Avoid!! If you rent from Judith Kale and there's a problem, you're out of luck. I've worked with others who also had an enormous problem with Kale.

My fiancé and I worked with Monica and she made what people think is a stressful process so smooth. She was easy to get ahold of with any of our questions (and we had a lot as first time home buyers)! She recommended a great inspector that we ended up using. Overall, our first time home buying experience went great and we attribute a lot of that to Monica.

I wish my experience was as positive as others. To me they totally did not have their stuff together. Found an apartment listed on Craigslist, however the address listed is that of their office, NOT the actual building. So that caused some confusion. I had to revisit the ad several times to tell THEM the listing ID just so they could track down which apartment I wanted to see. Then after texting ALL DAY about seeing this space, asking for the address and confirming an appointment. They tell the apartment has been rented and tried to show me a dump of a place nearby. Totally wasted my time. Why would you confirm an appointment BEFORE checking if the place is rented?? Or was I just told that upon arrival? Either way, left a bad taste in my mouth and wasted a ton of time. Thanks for nothing.

I worked with Drew Yurasek for selling the condo. He was professional and on time for all the showings and helped me navigated the market and got the most value. The offer price came in higher than the listing and guided me through the entire process from contingent, pending to final close. He is reliable and diligent, which sometimes is hard to come by in finding an agent in the hot market. I highly recommend working with him, and will be sure using him again in all my future contracts.

Kale is a great place to work . Highly recommend to other agents !!! Training is great

Best in Chicago! Love their managing director/broker. A shame i got hooked up with the wrong agent, as a referring co agentbut will definitely work with Kale Realty .

Having recently moved out of the city, I was unable to take care of renting my condo myself. Lori Dake came through like a pro among pros! All "I's" dotted, all "T's" crossed! She took care of everything from beginning to end and kept me in the loop at every turn.. Seriously, I've worked in real estate so I've known my share of realtors. Lori is easily among the most conscientious, professional, and thorough agents I've EVER worked with - and the fact that was was a long distance business venture (for me) made her attention to detail that much more welcome. I couldn't possibly recommend her highly enough. Lori, from my family to yours, thank you! You really came through.

My wife and I worked with Kris Clymer of Kale Realty when purchasing our home. I can honestly say that he made the experience enjoyable and was very knowledgeable in all areas of the process. Patience, insight, and the overall expertise he brought to the table was unlike anyone we have ever worked with before. You can tell that Kris does his homework, prepares well, and have a very good understanding of not only the Market, but trends in different neighborhoods. Other agents can often times be pushy, but Kris took the extra time to listen to our needs and wants, and worked with us on finding our home. A++++ for the realty group just for employing someone as professional and experienced as this man.

Agent Jason Jones is a terrible agent. He set up a contact without the buyer having the proper vetting. Then abandoned the deal. I would never recommend him. Wasted our time and dollars In this fragile market.

Initially I had a bad experience but after this review I spoke to the agent and apologized, explained his reasonings and sent me units that he thought I would like. I really appreciated that extra step he took! It shows good customer service. -------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, I didn't have a great experience. I found a great rental listing on Craigslist and responded to the ad. Someone contacted me back saying the unit was available but wanted to "help me on my apartment search" by having me answer questions. I didn't ask for help on my apartment search. I did ask if the unit was available and wanted to know what amenities were included In the rent and if I can view the unit. The person responds back that I will need to answer all the questions before scheduling to view the unit.... hmmm that weird. Why would I need to tell you my credit score before we schedule a viewing ? I respond back letting them know they never introduced themselves. If you work for an real estate agency it's good professionalism to respond with your name and an email signature but none was present. They respond that I contacted them and that they didn't contact me and that I should have introduced myself. They also let me know they won't be able to move forward without me giving them my credit score information..... I've seen many apartments without sharing my credit score. Someone at this agency needs to teach this man professionalism. I found the Craigslist ad and found his name to be Aristotle Logan Vargo... is that's

Absolutely amazing. Lori Dake is a phenomenal real estate agent. From the beginning to the end, Lori put in extra effort to help find my boyfriend and I a new home. Lori sent us multiple listings, and worked with us to view apartments and asked the listing agents the difficult questions. When we finally found a place we loved, the listing agent was being difficult, and Lori got things done. She made sure that every one of our wants and needs were met and advocated on our behalf. Kale Real Estate is a great company, and is definitely lucky to have someone like Lori! I would highly recommend her :)

Lori Dake and her boss David helped to sell my house in Humboldt Park last year and they did a wonderful job during the process. They were incredibly helpful. My buying agent Quentin was wonderful too and they helped me move from the city to the suburbs. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy/sell/rent. Thank you!

Just wanted to write in and say I really liked Dave Bovyn as my broker for my Lombard home sale. I understand he's the boss over at Kale, and I can understand why! He was awesome every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an attentive realtor. Thanks, Dave!

Lorraine was fantastic! imagine showing & selling a house during this pandemic? Not only did she sell the house, help me with all the necessary paperwork, she also assisted in finding me and my two sons new apartments. Her advice and help was invaluable. Moving is so stressful but Lorraine assisted with multiple tasks. I highly recommend Lorraine & Kale Realty.

I will never ever use your Realty you guys let people put application fees on house and then don't give the people the houses and keep they application fee.WHY would you let people put they money on something 5 other people are looking at just to keep they application fee

This agency seems to be professionally managed, but there is a lack of responsiveness from the agents in particular Mark Troutman. After paying an application fee through Smartmove and having an interview with the owner of a prospective rental property, I was never contacted although I was promised a definitive answer. That's all I wanted because I was still looking but hoping for this particular property. Never responded after repeated inquiries. I now know that rental app fees are a gimmick. Just my take

Warning! The prices listed for units are NOT what they actually are. Kale Realty listed a 4bd 2bath on Ridge/Church in Evanston for $1,700 as of this morning (crazy low price if you know the area as I do). When I asked to see it I rec'd an email asking for my personal info and they did not respond to any of my questions about the actual property. Turns out the actual price is $2,580 (same unit but listed by Renturway). I took screenshots of both ads in case they try and claim this is not true.

I submitted in an email to have someone from the agency contact me. I was contacted by an agent by the name of Rachel Bell. She seemed to be enthusiastic to help me from the beginning. Even after she asked for my specifics and apartment price range on a few different emails, i still abliged and was optimistic. It started off with times that she would tell me she would email me listings, then she wouldnt, after a day of emailing her, she would finally respond. Her excuse was that she had email issues, then family issues. We finally narrowed down the list to 8 apartments that I was interested in. I explained to her in length that I live in Florida and would be visiting the chicago area during the last week of august, first week of september. she stated that she would get appointments ready for me to view listings on the thursday. a week before my trip, she stopped answering her emails and her phone. She picked up her phone once on a saturday before my trip and stated that she was out late and would call me back later because she was still sleep--never recieved a call back. I still came to chicago, the day i arrived (wednesday), i called her and left her a very detailed message about my dissappointment, she called me back stating that she was having family issues, i told her i would find another realtor, she stated that there was no need for that and she would set up appointments for me to view apartments that friday. She never called me during my whole week stay, and I sure wasnt waisting my time continuing to call her. This was very disappointing and upsetting experience. Shame on this company.

Fellow Yelpers and Reviewers, please DON'T be mislead by Nick Patterson's response. It is completely inaccurate and I stand by my opinion. He has been harassing me via e-mail since I posted this and I guess he wants to take his inaccurate account of events to Yelp. And, by the way, Kale Realty has not been in business since 1951 - he filed an LLC for Kale Realty in 2007 - using his Grandfather's last name. So here goes my response to his comments... First, I will respond to the part that he posted in which he cut and pasted only a portion of an e-mail - that suited him - where I inquired who to ask for in his absence the day I would pick up the keys, what he failed to show you is that he actually responded to me with this: "Hi Hope Cool- Swing by 548 Roosevelt and then we'll head next door to meet Saul and get the keys. He works next to me See you tomorrow" But he never showed up and no one in the office had a clue about anything. Second, my agent Travis has no idea I am posting my opinion on Yelp. So your comments about his company encouraging me to post this further supports my bad opinion of you. That only leads me to believe that is something you would do?? Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to respond below to your numbered Yelp comments. ENJOY! It appears that you have a very selective memory. You can probably tell that I have not written many yelps ever - just the two times that I have had completely terrible experiences - have I posted to share with others who might need to know. Below is my response to the Yelp statements made: 1). The rent of 1.5 months was never mentioned to me until the 11th hour after ALL negotiations were finished. I was surprised when you asked because it was never part of the deal. First months rent and a security deposit/last months rent is standard course of business for rental. And I do consider 1.5 months to be "two months rent" because that would be the first two months I would be living in the unit. I only ended up sending the second month's rent because Travis begged me and I felt bad for the guy. I never asked to start the rent on the 15th, that was suggested to me by Travis (who was informed by you). My move date was very up in the air at that point so I was open and flexible to any suggestions. Posting the lease or information contained in the lease has nothing to do with this discussion so I'm not sure why that would even matter. 2). My first contact with you was actually January 8th. But that has nothing to do with what is going on here. I was communicating with you from the beginning through my agent Travis, who I trust. 3). Again, this is completely untrue. And you know this because I privately forwarded a message you sent to me (also see same message above) wherein you said you would be in the office. I did refer to paying the rent because I was unable to get the keys to my apartment without paying you. Of course I opposed to this through Travis and his exact words back to me after relying my message were "Nick is not having it" - meaning you were not willing to discuss my issues with having to pay the second's months' rent directly to your company and not my landlord, and prior to move in. I did not mail the second month's rent previously on purpose because I did not want you to have my money until I was forced to do so. Therefore I had no choice and corresponded appropriately as any professional would. I did get a great apartment at the appropriate market rate. Nothing more, nothing less. It was not because you did anything to make it happen, it was all Travis. Oh, and I did not get the keys a "few days early". I got the keys late morning on January 14th, the day before my lease started. So I got the keys about 12 hours early... I am not interested in taking down my Yelp because it is true. You were demanding and hard to deal with. Just the fact alone that you wouldn't allow me to speak with the owners puts you in "sleazy" territory. I own my condo in Boston and it took all of about 1 day to do all negotiations and sign the lease. And his agent suggested he call me and we all worked everything out together. Please let this go and hopefully you will learn to be nicer and more appreciative of others time and energy. Please do us both a favor and lose my e-mail address.

Stefanie D'Agostino helped me purchase my home in Beverly. Throughout the process, she was professional, efficient, and fun! She quickly helped me find properties to visit and set up visits to meet my schedule. She makes herself available a ton, and had answers and advice for all of my questions. I couldn't be happier with the work that she did, and I recommend her without reservations. Get yourself a real estate broker like mine! You will not be disappointed!

This review is specifically for realtor Kristin Bird as she was successful in finding me an amazing apartment. In the past, I've done apartment hunts on my own using craigslist, and it was a treat to be driven around to a range of apartments in different parts of the city. This also really helped since I was not familiar with various neighborhoods in Chicago. Kristin was AMAZING! We clearly stated our budget, and the key parts of an apartment (an outdoor space and gas stove at least!). She delivered. We filled out our application and she immediately got the ball rolling with the landlord. Definitely couldn't have done it with out her!

I've been doing buying and selling for about 10 years and Debbie drake has been our realtor and I can say she is hands down, beyond excellent she is one of the best realtors that we've had over the past 10 years with the knowledge that she gives she's extraordinary. I would definitely use her for my next buy!

Glenn Carlos of Kale Realty sold me my first condo. He explained everything easily and clearly every step of the way! It made buying my first home super easy and comfortable. Not once did I feel worried about the process. Also, he got me a great price for my place!

My opinion that KaleREALTY is competent and caring is due entirely to my experience with one of their agents, Kevin Mueller. He was an outstanding help to me as someone who is new to the city and very particular about what I was looking for in an apartment. My search had been going on for about a month, and I'd bounced from realtor to realtor UNTIL I finally, luckily, got in touch with Kevin. He actually found me the perfect apartment for the perfect price. I never would have found it myself, or even known it existed, were it not for Kevin. The other realtors I worked with who were told the same about what I was looking for didn't think to show me what is now my home. As a side note, he was never aggressive or pushy with me when I didn't like something. I've experienced something akin to bullying from desperate agents who just want to close on something with you and get their commission and move on to the next. When I told Kevin I didn't like something, he just said "Ok, let's keep looking" and found me more options. Kevin was a property manager for a while before moving into real estate and he also helped me ask the right questions of the landlord and even after the contract was signed and his commission locked in, he was offering me help finding the best cable/internet options and asked if I needed any assistance coordinating the move. I think he genuinely cares, and it shows in the kind of results he gets.

Professional Good Company Many insights on great properties in area. If you need any real estate info, rental info contact Kale Realty Give them a try

My interaction with Kale was great right from the start. I worked with broker, Allen Ng, and couldn't be more satisfied. He sent me a response within minutes of my inquiry email which was much appreciated as I had an expedited timeline. Allen was extremely friendly, professional, and truly listened to what I was in the market for. He patiently drove me around to several showings and helped me lock down a studio in the city. Moving can often be stressful. Do yourself a favor - contact Kale and ask for Allen!

My husband loves this place. Lovely real estate agency. He says they really look after their brokers and are very kind people

We utilized an excellent agent: Althea Roy at Kale Realty to purchase a condo in Chicago this past Summer. Althea treated us like "family" -She listened, her recommendations were spot-on to meet our needs. Althea went above and beyond to secure our condo in Chicago. We highly recommend Althea-She gets the job done!

Lori Dake was especially helpful when I needed her for real estate advice in the past. I may not have worked directly with her since she moved to Kale, but knowing she is now part of this team tells me the kind of company Kale is to work with! And that is Top Notch professional service! I look forward to recommending Kale to any of my friends and family, when they ask for a recommendation!

This company is a joke. I am renting from Kale reality and after I moved I was told that there is only ONE maintenance staff for 18 buildings they own. I have called several times to report maintenance issues and would not have a return call for several days. When you complain to the landlord Jeremy about these issues he would always say "it will be taking care of" but of course nothing happens. I have never experience such disorganized unprofessional business in my life. Please get it together!!

Did not care for them as landlords of my building. Kale bought the building I was renting an apartment in. I think they did a very poor job of taking care of it. The previous landlord was on top of maintenance and keeping it clean. It seems the only time Kale would do anything was if someone complained. The hallway was painted, I'll give them that much. But they left painters tape on the railing and carpeting on the stairs, there were gouges and holes in the drywall that never got fixed, I think a couple small blood stains, and they did nothing to keep it clean. The firsts year I renewed my lease with them, they raised my rent $30 for a tiny one bedroom apartment which is a higher increase than I've ever paid anywhere. The second year they raised it $50. I decide after that I would be finding somewhere else to live. When I first informed them via telephone that I would not be renewing my lease, I had to leave a voicemail. I got no response. At no point did they ask about what they could do to get me to stay. I just never heard back about it. I then sent an email and still got no response. I also sent a note with my final rent payment, and again got no response, until I got a call from them about two weeks before I moved, saying they wanted to show my place while I was still in there and had my stuff in there. I checked my lease, and sure enough there was something they slipped in there saying they have a right to show it while I'm still there. I insisted on being home at the time because I didn't want strangers being in what was still my home with all my belongings in there, while I'm not there. I gave them my work schedule with a list of days and times I'd be available. I get a voice mail from Jeremy saying I need to be more cooperative and flexible with them. It's my work schedule! I returned his call explaining that I can't change my work schedule, but I never heard back from him again. Finally agreed on a day, through someone named Colin who was actually nice, and I'm told maybe 20 people will becoming to see my apartment that day. There were a total of 4 that saw it. They wanted to schedule another day for more people to see it, I gave them a couple more days, but never heard back before I moved out. Someone else went to see the place after I moved out, and was informed that the rent is now $75 more than what I was paying, and that 3 months rent were required up front. At this point, no work had been done to improve the apartment, or the hallway, so the person passed on it. They charge way too much for the places they rent and they seem very unprofessional to deal with. You'd be better off looking for a different realty company, I know I'd certainly not want to deal with them again.

...just wanted to THANK YOU for turning me down due to my POOR credit :) lol. I leased a lovely gut rehab, with EVERYTHING NEW from the beautiful floors to the appliances, doors and all $850. Same price as the one YOU claimed I couldn't handle in a round about manner. Told him UPFRONT everything you knew and he was HONEST, understood we all have a past and had some struggles we are not proud of, but was willing to rent to me, so I secured the place. You were gonna rent to me for $815 HT included but wouldn't rent an $850 per month unit HT included smh... I never settle for less than I deserve, since I last applied with you all, I get paid VERY WELL and my business is not even that established. Bottom line, stop judging folks on their PAST mistakes, if I couldn't afford it I wouldn't have applied, and I hope the agents SEE THIS SMH

I worked with Sharon Harrison and she was beyond professional and worked tirelessly to get my previous property sold in a timely manner. From providing patience and marketplace intelligence, Sharon was also able to push hard on my behalf to bring the best offers to the table for a 4-unit that she recently listed and sold. If you want someone that can follow-through, communicate effectively, and always has your best interest at heart, seek out Sharon for your representation. If I am ever in the market again, I will be working with Kale Realty and requesting that Sharon handle my services! Thank you so much, Mrs. Harrison!

Working with real estate agent Lenetta DeLacy-Johnson was a true DELIGHT! She was attentive, professional, knowledgeable and quite resourceful. She stepped in to provide a very efficient lender when the original lender was not working to my satisfaction; she recommended a stellar inspector who saved me from purchasing a "money pit"; she introduced me to an excellent and thorough attorney after hearing the inflated quotes I'd received from two other attorneys; she was always available to field a call or show me a home. This is the 4th home that I've purchased is this was by far the smoothest and quickest experience that I've ever had.
