Izzy got it done! Didn’t even have to go through the hassle of multiple showings. She found the right buyer, for well over asking and handled the details from there until we received our wire! Great experience
We weren’t sure we even wanted to buy a home. Izzy took the time to meet with us to understand our thinking and get a clearer picture of what we might be interested in , if we were to purchase. Izzy never put any pressure on us but instead reassured us it might take years, but she would be there to assist us. Izzy is incredibly intuitive, she quickly understood my wife and I didn’t want to look at any properties that didn’t met our exact requirements. She didn’t waste our time nor hers trying to show us anything and everything. Instead, she showed us some properties that matched our requirements on-line, at first. We responded quickly and then met on-site to review 4 homes on a Tuesday afternoon and one on Wednesday. By Friday that week, we had signed a purchase agreement for that 5th house we saw. That is incredibly efficient and very focused, especially when we weren’t really sure about buying. Throughout the entire buying experience, Izzy took direction from us and worked to get us the answers we needed. Not being from the area, she helped with a Title Company, insurance broker and an interior designer. She also provided references to other suppliers we would need after we settled. She followed up with the selling agent frequently and was “on top” of all details in the 45 days up to settlement. She took us to the house frequently for family members to see, designers to review rooms and painters, carpenters and closet installers to get a jump on things. Izzy is the ultimate customer service professional. Focused, looking out for our interests, answered hundreds of questions, pushed back on me when I was trying to do something incorrectly. She is the best agent we have worked with in our 40+ years of buying and selling houses. We love her personality and her charisma. Perhaps the best way to show our appreciation to her, is that we have introduced others going through the buying process to her and always have started the conversation by saying “she’s the best agent we’ve ever worked with”.
I highly recommend working with Izzy! She took the time to listen and educate us on Lakewood Ranch, both remotely and in person. She patiently worked with us until we found the right home. And then Izzy led us through the sale with ease and confidence. I also appreciated that she lives in Lakewood Ranch so can speak with authority on the area. And long after the sale she continues to support us as we get settled! As the daughter of a realtor I had high expectations and she met/exceeded them all!
