Perfect Approach Towards Dealing With Clients And Consistently Went Above And Beyond. "I've dealt with a number of real estate agents over the years, and I can honestly say that Claudine is the best of her class. She has great knowledge of the market and has the perfect approach towards dealing with clients, some of whom like myself, can be demanding and insistent on discussing different scenarios before making a decision.” - VAL S.

I Received Offers at My Target Selling Price Within 4 Days. "Claudine has been a great counselor, advisor, agent and friend. Claudine and her team helped me find and purchase a home a few years ago. But she continued to work with me and give advice regarding market conditions and the right time to sell. By staying in-touch, listening to me and helping me to meet my goals she’s allowed me to move abroad a year ahead of schedule. She even found me a terrific agent in Spain where I have now purchased a home on the beach.”

I met Claudine while trying to do a 1031 exchange on my rental property. Claudine helped me every step of the way from outlining the 1031 process, to immediately connecting me with the qualified intermediary, to giving proper legal notice to my Section 8 tenants and the housing authority. Her extensive network of contractors (everything from landscapers to the inspectors) helped get my house on the market within a week after the tenants vacated. I was very eager to sell, and Claudine exceeded my expectations when she sold my home in only 5 days for $60,000 over our asking price, all cash, with no contingencies, especially in today’s market where homes are taking longer to sell. Claudine also helped my buy a replacement property, and her negotiation skills got my offer accepted despite a competing offer from another buyer who had better terms. I couldn’t be happier that Claudine and her team helped me throughout this process. Thank you, Claudine! This couldn’t be possible without you!" O.Nguyen
