It was a pleasure working with Malihe Karimi as our agent. She listed our condo for top dollar and found a solid buyer. She not only brought us a full-price contract but did so in a professional and expedient manner. We would highly recommend having her in your corner. She will work hard for you and bring you the results you want.
Brilliance. Motivation. Determination. Focus. These are just a few adjectives I would use in describing Malihe. Last year, I tried to sell my home at a lower price point. It didn’t sell. I wanted to move back home to be with my family. So, this year I tried again. I assumed it wouldn’t sell again but a miracle came along. It was Malihe. When I felt negative, Malihe was positive. She helped stage my home and made it look like a home out of Architectural Digest. She showed all possible buyers the amenities, the beach, the clubhouse, etc. She was extremely motivated and was in touch with me all the time. She recommended experienced help to update my unit. She was determined to sell it. Even when I was exhausted and too tired to cook, Malihe brought me food. She went above and beyond. She anticipated all my concerns about the move, too numerous to name. Her focus never waned. She made me see a possibility in: re to selling it when I saw none. Then, it sold. An impossibility into a possibility, in a matter of about seven weeks. What was the difference from my first attempt to sell, and the second situation where it sold? The difference was Malihe. Brilliance, motivation determination and focus. I give Malihe the highest possible accolades. If you want to sell your home, Malihe is your go-to. She made my dream come true.
