It reads like such a sensitive task, trusting another person to mediate the search and purchase of your home. Investing emotionally and financially into this project as first-time buyers, we were reluctant to trust anyone. We also lost the opportunity to place an offer on several properties due to 2 incompetent, listless realtors. Alanna Nichols assumed our challenge to find a home that we loved in the price we needed in the limited time that we had before we had to move. She negotiated two complicated contracts for us, one of which took place during the week of Christmas. Due to issues with the seller, the first contract fell through. Alanna shared our frustrations, and then she worked tirelessly to guide us through a new set of options on an entirely new (and tighter) time frame. She has a beautiful intuition for connecting the right options with the right people, and she never pushed an option if it wasn't the right fit. Alanna is an instant friend you enjoy and an experienced mentor you trust. The energy it takes to buy a home is immense. Fortunately, we had a realtor that found time and energy when there was none.
