First Time Home Buyer Testimonial

“  Our experience in buying a home with the help of Laurie has been life changing. Knowledge is power. This experience allowed lots of growth and a very teachable learning experience we’ll never forget. Having her by our side to guide us, be beyond patient with us, and being so attentive to details of our likes and dislikes says so much about the passion and drive she has in making sure her clients are carefully making the right decisions. She always made follow-ups with us, always willing to show same day, and even if we got on her very last nerve we couldn’t tell. Laurie also has impeccable communication skills, she does whatever it takes to get you exactly what you need to know, early mornings and late nights she was always available and responding to our every question. She always paid very good attention to our specific wants and needs of our new home. If we had to do it all over again, we’d choose Laurie 1000 times over- without question. I recommend her to everyone I know, she’s sweet and caring and our five-year-old even grew to love her- he was always so excited to see Laurie as we toured countless homes. It truly was a great experience having her as our realtor.  ”

Talyse and I crossed paths in December 2018 where we discussed preparation for home ownership. We had a lengthy conversation of what to expect including pre-qualification, down payment, closing costs, credit, budget, location, must-haves…you name it, we covered it! In the Summer of 2020, we actively started looking and at our first showing is when I officially met Talyse and her husband, Jeremy along with the cutest little boy ever, Langston! When I saw Talyse in her scrubs, I lit up knowing I was a Workforce Housing Specialist, therefore could get her family $1,000 in closing costs through the NC Realtors Housing Foundation because she worked in the medical field. We hadn’t even talked about it yet because I was newly certified so Talyse would be my very first client to benefit from this great resource. We searched high and low in Siler City, Pittsboro, Sanford, Snow Camp and Asheboro before they found “a place called home” in Siler City which is ultimately where this family wanted to be. I have a passion for first time home buyers because purchasing a home for the first time is a huge step in this journey of life and being able to be a part of it genuinely makes me happy! I want them to feel like they can ask me anything, no question is too big or too small and I want to be sure every detail is covered; I want them to love their home, yes, there may be items that have to be compromised but ultimately, they have to be happy with it or we will continue house hunting because I’m not satisfied until my clients are.

I’d be happy to help you and your family too! I love working with first time home buyers! I became certified as a Workforce Housing Specialist to be able to help my clients even further with $1,000 in closing costs that does not have to be repaid if eligibility is met. Some of the employment eligibility includes local, state, or federal government in the field of public safety or healthcare; healthcare workers such as first responders or nurses; teachers or others employed in the field of education; and those employed by 501(c)3 charitable organizations.
