We really enjoyed using Mariya's website as a search tool. That helped us greatly to rule out a lot of properties in our range of interest and cut down the time spent touring houses. We only spent two days of actual house-hunting before we found the house we made an offer on. We also appreciated the great advice that Mariya provided during the entire process (ranging from general home-buying knowledge to personal home-improvement experience) and her leading us to the best people to contact for different needs. As a result, we feel that we were served by the top experts in the area for financing our purchase, inspecting our prospective home, etc. All along the way, our feeling was that our realtor was on our team; there wasn't any step where we felt we were left to fend for ourselves. Rather, our impression was that Mariya went out of her way to make our first home purchase smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable! It all made for a confident and very satisfied experience for us!
