"From day one Cay was a pleasure to work with as she took the time to understand our needs and to identify the locations which best met those needs. However what Cay offered went beyond simply finding us a house as she skillfully helped us to understand what each of the communities that we looked in offered and how this would work with our lifestyle. Over a four day period we came to understand the tradeoffs that Charlotte presented both in terms of purchasing a new home versus an existing home and in terms of the location itself. As a result we were able to make a decision to purchase a home that we were both quite comfortable with.It is difficult to express how grateful we are for her efforts which helped us make a successful transition to a new area with a new job and a 4 week old baby! " Dennis H.
