There is immense pressure when one is selling a home which is compounded when a family is also relocating. When it was suggested that I consider hiring Ranelle to help, I had no idea how valuable she would be in this process. She showed up one snowy morning and changed everything. She helped make a plan: how to stage the house, what to store, what to paint or change and how best to present our home so that potential buyers could envision it as their home. She is decisive, has unerring taste and a sense of urgency. She makes things happen without delay. I was always impressed that if she said she would call a resource, it happened immediately, usually before she left the room. 

She is also very hands-on. She arrives ready to work whether it's packing, organizing or getting the house ready for an "Open House". She even made certain that paths were cleared of snow for a last-minute showing. As I was traveling back and forth from the east coast, she quickly became a trusted ally. She was familiar with the house and knew how to showcase it to greatest advantage. She was there to make sure the house was warm and welcoming in the winter, and fresh and sparkling in the warmer months. She would open the pool for buyers and turn on the theater, music and fireplaces to showcase the details that made our home special. Quite simply, she came to know and care for our home.

We had absolute trust in her. I highly recommend Ranelle. I know I recovered her fee many times over by following her suggestions. In addition to a high level of competence, she has a pleasant and practical manner. She will arrive at your door with her "Mary Poppins'" handbag filled with all the resources, energy and advice you will need to successfully sell your home quickly.
