When my father died recently, I was very fortunate to have Simone take care of selling his home. She was meticulously organized, personable, and set high expectations of herself — which she always met or exceeded. In particular, the house was in pretty bad shape when we choose her as a realtor. So she arranged for the property to be emptied out and cleaned up… and then proposed and managed several inexpensive remodeling projects that increased the home’s desirability. In the end, she brought in a top price for a home in an area(Frederick) filled with lots of lower-priced homes languishing on the market.
