Our family has worked with Lara Harpe for the past few years as we searched for a new home. She is extremely knowledgeable of the local real estate market, quick to respond to our requests and thorough in getting answers to our questions. Lara helped us find our home that we love. We would highly recommend Lara and The Pulse to anyone looking for the perfect home.

Report
Stacy and the Pulse are the best. If you are looking for a professional that cares about you then look no further. Many brokers and agents only care about the sale. Stacy and the Pulse care about you longterm and will be with you for years after your sale.
