The review from Jennifer Roofener is a fake. We have have never worked with this person on any level. She is a troll. She is an angry EX-girlfriend of a contractor Judith had employed at one time.

I have been a client of Judith Shortt's for the last 10 months, and have been particularly pleased with her timely responses to all of my inquiries, her knowledge base and professionalism advising me on real estate strategy, transparency and honesty. If you're in the market to buy or sell, rest assured that Judith is a tenured and capable agent in Washington County (and beyond) - I'd absolutely recommend her over and over again.
