Thank you D for your review: I've sold many homes over the years but l've never known a realtor and friend who did so much for my family when it came to helping me sell a home! Her punctuality was off the chart fantastic! Living in Ohio trying to sell a $2M home in South Carolina wasn't something I was looking forward to... especially in a tough market.
She got me list price!
But it was the extra little things she did to facilitate the sale in a timely manor!
If you're looking for a stable realtor in South Carolina I would definitely call Ruth Ann!
