Gretta Helped Us Negotiate...Excellent Terms

2021


Rhonda & Eleanore Dinwiddie: "Gretta showed up at our doorstep, very pleasantly introduced herself and let us know she had heard by word-of-mouth that we were planning to sell our home. We had already met with a few real estate agents and brokers at our home who expressed great interest in becoming our agent. We let Gretta walk through our home and a week or so alter she let us know of a potential buyer. They looked at the home and soon thereafter made a cash offer which included allowing us to stay in the home for an additional 4.5 months rent-free before our move out of state. They also allowed us to leave anything on the property that we did not wish to take with us, so the extra time to plan, pack, sort and eliminate was a godsend. Gretta helped us negotiate with the buyer on excellent terms, so we accepted that offer and successfully closed! Gretta is as expert as they come. The entire process was worry, stress and fret-free. Want to buy or sell? Contact Gretta!"
