We have had dealings with Lorraine which spanned several months as we were working through a property issue and her feedback was very helpful as we proceeded through the process. Lorraine set up the initial marketing of our home and then handed everything over to her colleague (Matt) as she was off overseas. Lorraine was also very good at explaining details and options when listing the property.

Jasmine

She was great. From small things like parking her car a bit further down the street, leaving more space for viewers (which her substitute colleague didnt do) to, to door knocking in the local area and engaging with everyone who came through. She also kept the buyers engaged druing the acution while we were waiting for our turn. Would recommend to anyone. Compared to the other real estate agents I've delt with she's a cut above the rest.
