Green Real Estate

Description of Work: to provide a context for this evaluation, i should say i am a real estate bigot: i disdain, even loathe, real estate agents as a group. as a senior citizen i have been involved in the purchase or sale of 12 houses over my lifetime and NEVER have i had an experience with a realtor that i would grade above C- (in fact, i have sold 2 houses myself in one weekend, each after realtors failed); but sheila green i would give an A in every category (the "b" for price is because i still think of realty commissions as excessive). anyway, on with my unqualified praise for green real estate: sheila is intelligent, informed, creative, hard-working, & persistent. as my agent, she was a buyers' agent, earning half the commission from the sellers, nothing from me. the sale was a short-sale, involving 2 mortgage companies, 2 sellers, a sellers' realtor, sheila, & my wife & me. sound like fun? well, sheila made it tolerable, at least. she took pictures of the defects & liabilities of the house we were bidding on, wrote descriptions of same--conveyed & explained same to sellers' realtor, finally won over sellers' realtor to our position that the house was greatly overpriced. then, when the mortgage companies "broker's price opinion" came in 18% over our final, top offer, sheila got the SELLERS' realtor to go to bat for us using her pictures & defect decriptions to win over the mortgage companies & the sellers. we ended up getting the house for 33% less than the sellers' original asking price & 15% less than the mortgage companies' broker's price opinion. these details are NOT about how happy we are with the price of this convoluted short sale: the point of these details is to show how hard & persistently sheila worked, how creative she was (ain't the pics with descriptions of defects a great idea?), how persuasive she is (she got the sellers' realtor to work FOR US (the buyers) with the mortgage companies. its enough to make me think that NOT ALL realtors are lazy, uninformed, do-littles!!! my wife & i STRONGLY RECOMMEND GREEN REAL ESTATE! sheila green is one-of-a-kind in my lifetime of experiences of home buying & selling.
