This note is about my very positive experience with real estate agent Mary Ellen Holt. We first met over two years ago when Mary Ellen sold my co-op in the South Shore neighborhood. My property sold relatively quickly. I had intended to purchase a condo afterwards, but needed a place to stay right away after the closing. So Mary helped me find an apartment, through her contacts, that met my needs until I could locate a permanent home.
Little did I know this would turn into an odyssey that would last two years. During this time Mary Ellen remained patient as we went through several contracts on different residences. When it appeared I was having trouble with my mortgage company, Mary suggested some she was familiar with. I chose one that stepped into the middle of negotiations with a short sale bank. She also put me in touch with a list of attorneys that specialized in short sales. This is very important to have the right people working with you and know what they are doing. Finally I had my home.
