"Libby handled both the sale of my current apartment and the purchase of my new one! She not only did a great job at all the usual marketing tasks, but she went above and beyond staging for professional photos and using her camels to take videos for a pote out-of-state buyer. She was always available to show me apartments (condos). She guided me through the necessary decisions and maintained a positive attitude throughout- even when I was ready to give up! The closings had to be back to back and she worked tirelessly with both sides to make sure that happened!"
