As long time renters with a growing family, my wife and I needed more space.   Cara could not have made the home buying process any easier.  Cara was thoughtful in her approach to figuring out what we were looking for, and was selective on the potential homes she brought to our attention.  She was also always willing to humor me when I wanted to see something she knew was probably...not a good fit. Being from the area, she had significant knowledge, experience, and insight on the various neighborhoods we visited, going far beyond anything you could find online by looking at commuting score cards or neighborhood surveys. After getting under contract, Cara also had great recommendations on mortgage brokers, home inspectors, and other service providers.  She almost always presented a few options to choose from, and all of the providers we worked with were fantastic. Websites and data are great, but they can't come close to the personalized and hands-on approach that Cara provides.  I recommend her to all of my friends, and we won't buy or sell in the area again without her help.
