I have been basically just talking back and forth with her. She is checking on me to see how I love my house, as she is just doing a follow up, as this is how good she is. She got me a perfect house. She is just following up to make sure I was okay with everything and everything is going well. I told her that I was going to list her on Angie's list, because I do not think she was aware of that. I put her in when I first moved in. I do not know how to give her the highest complement. She was awesome, good, and patient. She got exactly what I wanted. My unique request was to find a house that will allow me to display my piano. I have a grand piano, and that was one of the most difficult things to do in my price range and everything, but she did it. It seemed like the house was just made for me; it seemed like it was created just for me. My piano goes whenever I move, because I travel a lot and whenever I moved I moved the piano with me, but I stored it in the dinning room usually because there is not an extra room for the piano. She found this gorgeous house, it has this beautiful living room that you walk into and this grand little room with a beautiful picture glass window and nothing else but a grand piano can sit there. Then I have my dinning room, my family room, kitchen, my kitchenette, everything. I have all that in addition to all of that. I am very satisfied with her. She is very responsive to messages, phone messages, everything.
Description of Work: I used Donna Van Wychen - Speaks Realty to find me a house that would allow me to display my grand piano.

I was a first time home-buyer living in Atlanta, GA looking to purchase a home in San Antonio Texas. Therefore, I spent most of my time searching the internet for suitable homes and then flying to SA to look at them only to find when I arrived in town, the house or neighborhood WAS not what I wanted. It is very important to select a Realtor who is knowledgeable, patient, kind, and understanding. Donna Speeks-Armstrong is that Realtor. Living in Atlanta, I could only look at houses via the internet. I would select a few houses for viewing; Donna would setup the appointments and I would fly in to look at the houses in person. Donna was awesome; she kept in mind my “must haves” etc.; kept the scheduled appointments, and always kept an open line of communication via phone or e-mail even text. By the time I found Donna, I had gone through two Realtor; my first Realtor only wanted to show me three houses (total) and expected me to select one. The second Realtor scheduled a showing but did not have the politeness to show up. Oy! By this time, I was disillusioned, overwhelmed, and confused as to the responsibilities of a realtor. Simply put, I became a person only a mother could love. I know I stressed Donna out tremendously however, you would never know it; she was a constant professional. She also has great connections with an excellent team of bankers with whom she has been working with for years. After making Donna my Realtor, finding the ideal house was the hardest part because once done, she and her team did the rest. The closing went so fast it made my head spin. Check it out, I mentioned I was living in ATL, the banker e-mailed me the paperwork; answered any and all questions; Donna’s team connected with a mobile closer in ATL and she came to my job; reviewed the paperwork with me and I signed on the proverbial dotted line . . . BAM! I became a homeowner. Now, I have heard stories of potential homeowners getting to the closing and all kinds of things would go wrong. If I had any problems . . . they (Donna and her team) handled them because once I selected a house the rest was a piece of cake. Buying a house is one of the most stressful things you will ever do. Buying a house for the very first time is 10 times as stressful, do yourself a favor, and partner with a professional Realtor with a personal touch (and great connections), Donna Speeks-Armstrong of Home Team of America. .
Description of Work: Donna helped me find a new home when I moved to San Antonio.
