"Pat was initially recommended to us when we were living in England and planning our return to Blacksburg.... This was our first experience buying a house and neither my husband nor I really knew what we were doing, but Pat guided us through the process, making it seem almost easy. We found Pat very pleasant and open-minded to work with. She was a great listener and took all of our ideas about what we were looking for in a house seriously and did her best to accommodate us. Pat is very knowledgeable about Blacksburg and offered to help us get re-settled here in any way she could.... We were especially interested in townhouses which, we were told, sell very quickly. When one became available, Pat notified us immediately and arranged for us to see the house and make an offer on it the very same day. We appreciated Pat's efforts very much, as the house turned out to be just what we were looking for.... If and when the need arises, I hope that she will be available to help us find our next house as well!"

"We were in the market for a unique property that would meet our very exact criteria. You listened to us rather than just pulling out the multiple listings. That alone saved us the time and expense of looking at a lot of unacceptable property. Then you guided us through a lot of competing interests and smoothed things along in ways we won't ever know. William and I are both grateful that you found this wonderful house for us and that you worked so hard on our behalf to wrap up a rather complicated series of events [that endangered the closing]."

"Just a note of thanks for the quality of work you brought to my recent sale of my old house and purchase of my new home. As a highly skilled agent, you … brought significant negotiating skills to the table …. Most independent buyers, including me, would be clueless in such circumstances. You also knew how to price and market my old home well so that it was on the market only a short time. You handled the continuous and sometimes frustrating details of the sale with a professional detachment I would never have had, saving me much money and worry. You answered question after question with skill and knowledge--and patience. Thanks for being so accessible.
Simply put, I couldn't have moved into the house I have with the money I brought to the table without an agent as qualified as yourself. My sister, who works in the mortgage business, also said I had a good one--keep her. She added, and I concur completely, that real estate agents may be annoying to some, but they are very necessary. Only the foolish (or the lucky) attempt to buy or sell without one."
