Report
Gail was my realtor agent. She acted like she was working for the seller.. Everytime I told her what I wanted, she acted like that was impossible. I have to wait for my money to come in and she replied: I wanted to pay cash. I have proposed to the seller through their agent what you asked me to do. First I suggested they pay all your closing cost, second, I proposed the take the property off the market for as long as it takes for you to obtain the funds, which could be months or years. In both cases, the agent laughed at me. There were other suggestions before she make this comment. we also discussed

Marcia Botts and the Award Realty staff are quick to respond. They made our buying process go very smoothly and quickly. My family has always used their company for all their property needs and they have proven themselves to be very professional, personable and very patient. Marcia has made our most recent transaction go through very smoothly even if we were gone over the road most of the time, she always got back to us in a timely manner no matter how busy she was. We highly recommend Marcia and her team.

Buying a new home can be tough and frustrating but I will tell you that Marcia Botts and her team at Award Realty are fantastic! We mainly dealt with Marcia and her right-hand-lady, Hanna, and absolutely loved them both. They were always friendly, fun, patient and very willing to help you through your searching and buying process. One great thing they do is keep you in the loop, they have fantastic communication skills...you know exactly what is going on and what to expect and if you are unsure of anything, they are happy to help and answer any and all questions! So yes, buying a home is hard work
