Search Our Agents & Offices

I'm an old guy and, at this point in my life, a confirmed skeptic. Once I decided to relocate I began an online search, trying to find a home that fit my specific need - a single family home with a separate in law dwelling. Most of the listed properties offering separate in law apartments contained nothing more than a separate bedroom with a bath. I did find a listing that caught my attention late one afternoon and, even though it was well after dark when I was able to view the place, Mrs. Belknap met me there and showed me around. I was immediately interested. There was a pending offer and I needed to wait until family members could come into town the following weekend to see for themselves. I did make an offer and, thanks to Mrs. Belknap, it was accepted. I was working with a potential lender but Mrs. Belknap put me in touch with a Zillow loan officer with whom she had worked. I was again skeptical, especially when that particular loan officer told me he could likely arrange a mortgage loan with better terms - and an earlier closing. Once I selected Zillow mortgage services I advised Mrs. Belknap of my expectations with regard to the types and quality of the inspections I wanted. She made arrangements for every inspection. The results were excellent; I was truly impressed with the contacts she had and with the relationships she had formed with those various inspectors. Between her and the Zillow loan officer, I was kept in the loop on a daily basis. I am a firm believer that a person's word is their bond. Throughout the process I was never misled; I quickly discovered that not only was Mrs. Belknap a skilled negotiator but also she delivered on every promise. Once the results of the inspections were available she made sure that the necessary remedial actions were completed. On the morning of the closing, she stopped by the home to make sure some last minute tasks were completed to her satisfaction. At that point I had good reason to rely on her judgement. After my mom passed away in 2020 I was tasked with selling her home. My experience at the time left me unimpressed. I can state, without reservation, that I have never had a better experience with a real estate agent. Once my relocation is complete I will be asking Mrs. Belknap to list the home I am vacating.
