It was my very lucky day when I made a call on a Saturday morning to local realtor Ann Watley. I had seen a mls listing the night before for a townhouse I was interested in and she was able to show it to me that same Saturday morning. By late afternoon with Ann's help my offer had been accepted. As the possession date was short, she referred me to her mortgage broker and financing was arranged. Then came the task of getting my current house ready to sell. She came to my home and made some easy suggestions of how it would show better. She referred me to a yard crew who came and took out some ugly cedar trees, and the next call was to her painters who she uses all the time, and they were able to give the wall behind the cedars a refresh. My house went onto the market ten days later, and 4 days after that Ann presented me with 2 solid offers, one of which I accepted. Her office administrative assistant follows up with details and important information that is critical for the process to go smoothly.

Then came the task of giving the 25 year old townhouse a refresh. The amazing thing about having Ann as your realtor is that she has an amazing list of "helpful people". A contact she has was able to remove all the old appliances and haul them away. The painting ladies were back to patch numerous places and give everything a fresh coat of paint. The contractor she recommended came with his crew to remove all the old carpet and tear out dated fixtures, do general repairs, add shelving, and replace several baseboards. My next call was to her electrician, who came right away with his assistant to replace old baseboard heaters, update several thermostats and light fixtures, and install lights in 2 storage areas. Another call to her person whose specialty is countertops and the process of redoing 2 bathroom vanities is next.

I feel very fortunate to have Ann Watley as my realtor, and would highly recommend her to help you as she has helped me.
