RE/MAX First Realty Ltd., Brokerage: Jim & Shawna Trudeau

I can't say enough good things about Shawna Trudeau, and the experience I had both selling my house and searching for another place to purchase.To start off, the first people to view my house ended up purchasing it. That wouldn't have been the case if Shawna, and her father, didn't already have a potentially interested purchaser immediately in mind, whom they informed of my property the night we agreed to list it. I have no idea how much longer my place would have sat on the market if I didn't use an agent who has such a great reputation and extensive client base. To have an excellent(!) conditional offer come in less than 24 hours after agreeing to list, then having those conditions met and finalized within weeks certainly took any and all stress away from the selling process. It was pretty amazing actually.That said, that doesn't even come close to the work and effort Shawna put in to help me find a place to purchase. I don't even know where to start. The area I was searching in was very large. The types of places I was looking for were not specific. These two things led to an absolute plethora of potential listings I was finding that I was then sending to Shawna to get more information about. And she did. Never a complaint. At hours that are well outside the normal working hours of the day. Also seeming to get the exact, pertinent information needed for me to decide if a place was worth viewing. And after she did that research for me, over and over again I had her drive out to view properties far-and-wide. Some very far, which upon entry to the building you may immediately realize that it's not quite right" and that the trip was wasted. Again
