RECOMMENDATIONS

From the first time I sat down with Shari and explained what I wanted and expectations I had for her she had excellent follow through. I was skeptical to continue to list right in the pandemic (March 2020). She did it - my home SOLD! Shari was aggressive, knowledgeable and motivated to sell my home for me. And she referred me to a Realtor in Fl to purchase my retirement home. Thank you, Shari!! I would definitely refer Shari to family and friends. -- Holly B. 
 
Shari got our home sold fast! She is great at what she does, and was always available to quickly answer any question I had. - Maria F.

Buying my first home with Shari has been more than amazing. She has been very supportive ,helpful, and always responds very quickly. She goes above and beyond to make sure your dreams are accomplished. Shari helped my family and I find a beautiful home in this tough market. I highly recommend to buy and sell with Shari. Thank you again Shari. I couldn’t have done this without you!! - Whitney P.
