    "Hire a real estate agent whose first career was as a civil engineer! Carmen was under a tight timeframe to find the right house in the right location for the right price. She came through with all of those things, and got the closing done even surrounding the Christmas holiday. I was on the phone with her and the lender even on Christmas Day. Thereafter, on the closing on the 26th of December, Carmen really shone as her negotiating skills brought the to a close even though it was precariously close to falling through. Since the completion of , Carmen has also come through for me recommending reliable and reasonably priced to help with repairs and refurbishments. Having used other real estate agents in the area who were not as skillful, I will use Carmen again in the future."
