Client Testimonials

"Carmen McLean was referred to us by our Lender. We were first-time home buyers, and we knew nothing of the market situation. We didn’t even know what we wanted. We needed a home rather fast, and our budget was limited. 

Carmen understood our situation immediately and without judging. She helped us clarify our needs. Houses came and went in matters of days, and Carmen was tactful and patient with us in such an agressive and competitive market It was a stressful time. She educated us all along the way about the complicated procedure of buying a house: what to do, what to read, what this and that meant. She kept informing us of deadlines and to-do list, giving advices. She knew what documents to produce, and helped us make sense of it all. When we found THE house ( she did), we discovered she was a very good negotiator.  She suggested some strategy to win the offer: it was bold and clever. 

She really worked for us to get what we wanted and never failed to reassure us when the ride felt bumpy and scary. She knew to be strong AND respectful in her dealing with the Sellers and their agent in order to make some demands. And thanks to Carmen, we got a house that fits us like a glove. We feel at ease, secure and happy in our new neighborhood . One can only marvel at the way she managed to take us right where we belong, and  this fast. "    N. Aviles
