I had to plan on moving out from an apartment because the owner of the building was suddenly selling, so I finally ventured into the possibility of buying a place. I had an idea of what I wanted, but the reality is always a little different from what you dream. For example, what Zillow suggested were rates I could get for a mortgage were...optimistic, to say the least. Lynn helped keep me in an appropriate range (I even ended up getting a unit almost $30K under what I planned on) and worked a ton to ensure the deal was good for me. In fact, we nearly closed on one place that she recommended, and after they had already accepted my offer, she did some independent homework and found out the washer-dryer combo in the unit was specifically forbidden by the homeowner's association. We asked the owners to find a way to make an exception, they essentially refused to even try, and we moved right along to another unit. Frankly, the unit I ended up with is nicer in just about every way and cheaper. And when we first came to see the unit I live in now, their agent was there, but they didn't have the key. They basically took the unit off of the listing and Lynn helped ensure I got to see it first when the key came in, helped me throughout the inspection process, checked in months later, and even sent a nice gift card to help with some home improvement stuff. She knows what she's doing. You'll still have to do your homework on prospective units and all that--you should obviously not expect a place on a silver platter--but her knowledge of the area and houses will do you wonders.
