Whether you're in the research phase at the beginning of your real estate search or you know exactly what you're looking for, you'll benefit from having a real estate professional by your side. I'd be honored to put my real estate experience to work for you.
Merle is an experienced agent who is well acquainted with the housing inventory in Amherst, Northampton, and surrounding areas. She has good relationships with other agents and is willing to go the extra mile to get you the information or service you need.
Merle worked with us for over a year, being incredibly patient and flexible, helpful and thoughtful, and just generally a joy to work with. She genuinely understood the strange combination of qualities we were looking for in a home, and guided us through the process with aplomb. I cannot imagine having a better buyer's agent, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Peter we only worked with after we'd found the right home, but he was helpful, knowledgeable, and helped me get things out of the seller that I never thought possible. I am so incredibly delighted with our new home, and the entire experience of home shopping. Thanks Merle and Peter!
