Natalie's Newest Yelp Review!

Thanks for the great review, Helen!

"Natalie helped me buy my house 2 months ago. She knows this neighborhood really well, and seems to have sold most of the houses here at one time or another. She wrote a bazillion offers, with not a single complaint, and was not afraid to advise against certain properties, which saved me some big headaches!

She has tons of energy and is very straightforward and honest. I've recommended her to two friends already."
