Hi Carol, I'm delighted to tell you what an amazing job Chris Taylor and Natalie Marasco did in selling our home at 2548 Deer Trail Road. We selected the wrong realtor at the outset, and between July and December had only 4 showings. I was upfront with Chris regarding where I thought we'd gone wrong: the house was priced too high, the Collegeville realtor was unfamiliar with the Lehigh Valley and with Bucks County, and she had no team supporting her. Chris worked with us on pricing, staging the house (after 17 years we were way too complacent!), and being ready for photos and showings once COVID constraints were eased. The house sold at just above asking price after only 4 days! Chris and Natalie together then managed expectations and negotiations with completely inexperienced buyers (who had an agent from another company) through a nightmare of an inspection. The building inspector was less than competent and as a result, a lot of energy was spent educating the buyers and accommodating as many requests as possible. At the point where enough was enough, they worked with us to present a strategy (fixed cash allowance) that appeased the buyers and allowed us to close on time and get on with a house hunt in Tennessee. Through all of it, we were supported, they were our advocates, advisors, occasional strong shoulders to vent to, and we shared a lot of laughs. They're the kind of people I wish I'd met 17 years ago because I'd be proud to have them as friends. I don't know the extent to which you find this talent versus grow it internally, but I won't hesitate to recommend Carol Dorey to anyone I know in the Lehigh Valley.
