DECOY REALTY LTD

We were moving to MA from out of state and were looking for a house on the Cape. We had already sold our house in CT and were in a time crunch. Lynne Gourley asked what I was looking for, and my particular needs in a home and then got to work. She not only found homes in my price range that met my criteria, she didn't waste my time by showing me houses that didn't have what I needed (as so many other realtors do.) Since I was driving from CT each time to meet with her, I appreciated that Lynne drove me around so I could take a break and focus on the homes . When I found a house I was interested in she taught me about what to think about when making an offer, and then helped me prepare it. When I did not get the house ( it was a deadline deal where the owner told everyone to give their offers at same time - someone ended up paying 20% over asking price) Lynne immediately started showing me other places, till we found a home so much nicer than the one I first bid on. The home was just reduced to make it within my budget. Lynne went above and beyond as a real estate agent, she not only worked with the sellers agent for me, she also worked with my agent in CT so my transition of selling and buying a home at the same time would take place without any problems. I had to move directly from one house to the next, with two closings on same day, and Lynne helped me with everyone involved to accomplish that feat. (No small task, believe me.) She recommended people I needed when my offer was accepted, such as my real estate attorney and moving company. She also took me around the town and told me where places I needed to use were, such as the grocery store and gas station. When you are new to an area, it's good to have someone clue you in to the neighborhood, rather than just have a directory to rely on. Why do I think she's one of the best Realtors to work with? Because she found what I needed, even as it evolved while we were looking for it. She took my families physical disability (wheelchair) into consideration and showed my homes that I could actually get into - unlike other realtors who kept telling me I could build ramps over five step entrances or renovate every doorway to make them bigger. She never pushed me toward a house just to make a quick commission, she kept working for me till we found the perfect home for my family - despite the time constraints. Lynne never tried to BS me, she let me decide what felt right to me, without pushing. Most importantly - she kept me sane and in good humor through everything that came up! I could have bought a house anywhere in MA or NH, and in fact was looking at other houses off Cape at same time I was working with Lynne. I chose to move on the Cape because while I saw some wonderful houses in other places, Lynne found me a home with everything I wanted, and more. Having worked with a variety of realtors through the years, in varying states, I can confidently say that Lynne Gourley is the best I've worked with, and I recommend her to everyone I know.
