Outstanding in every way Sheela is awesome -- knowledgeable, prompt, efficient, dependable, friendly, sensitive to the feelings and reactions of all parties, and anticipatory of potential problems well before they can get out of hand. She is a delight and will greatly lower the stress of your buying/selling experience. We have used her for multiple transactions and would never go with anyone else.

What My Clients Say

This woman listens! Very attentive to my needs, quickly and efficiently lined up a number of candidates, and within days we had reviewed 10 properties. I gave her a budget for one of them, and gave her the discretion to negotiate the final price. She proved worthy of my trust, and as the person on the front lines, made a great deal on my behalf, without using up the budget. Well done Sheela!
