Buyer/Seller Tools For Success

" Lila is a true professional. There was no doubt we were in competent hands prior to even signing our contract with Lila. Over the past three years we've sold/purchased a total of 4 homes in 3 different states. Talk about stress! Lila by far was the most organized and knowledgeable of all our agents/brokers! She goes the extra mile when needed and gives advice that is right on, ultimately making our process almost stress free! She was so giving of her time and I absolutely loved her gifts along the way. What a classy touch. I highly recommend Lila and feel you'd be hard pressed to find a better person to handle your real estate needs. "

- Scott and Shelly Petersen

" Lila Timmons was awesome and totally honest and so helpful in the selling of my house. She made sure I was kept up on all aspects of the sell. She was helpful and full of knowledge on all issues. I would recommend her, as she is honest and will work hard to get a client's house sold or to find that special house for her client. "

- Lena Dawson

" Lila demonstrated great customer service, a very strong work ethic and extremely prompt responses on questions. She was trustworthy and dedicated.

- Chas VanGenderen (Buyer)

" Lila was completely professional and helpful and she offered to go out of her way to help with the closing. She has followed up with emails making sure I was satisfied with the purchase. I highly recommend her. "

- Roger W Thornburgh (Buyer)

" Being a first time home buyer made the process seem extremely overwhelming. Lila was very helpful in making the process stress free and explaining everything to me when it came to things I didn't understand. She was highly dedicated in getting this home closed on and even went out of her way to check a few things out for me at the home since I was not in the state at the time. She maintained an extremely professional appearance and above all was a very trustworthy person. "

- Scott Cain (Buyer)

" Do yourself a favor. Choose Lila. My transaction was executed quicky and flawlessly. I have had a number of bad experiences with real estate agents, both in my former career, and during failed attempts at purchasing a home a couple of years ago. I was anxious about choosing a real estate agent and attempting the home buying process again, but Lila took excellent care of me and I couldn't be more pleased with my choice. She is ultra competent, anticipating setbacks and staying in front of them. She thought of everything. She is the consummate professional, handling everything with calm, confident efficiency, even when I turned into buyer-zilla. She is a tough negotiator, ready to go to battle if necessary in order to get her buyer as many advantages as possible. She has a great personality, she is a regular person, without all the fake, awkward, annoying sales-persony garbage. Love Lila! "

- Melissa Vaughan (Buyer)

" Lila is a very professional and knowledgable real estate agent. I was very happy that she helped me find my home. She answers any questions promptly and makes every effort to meet your expectations. She puts 150% of her time in helping you find the right house. She also makes sure that if any problems arise she lets you know right away so there are no surprises. Because house hunting is so stressful for the buyer, she takes the time to find out what the buyer is looking for and finds the appropriate houses for you to see, so you don't waste time lookng at houses that might not interest you. I was going through a difficult time and she made my house shopping more relaxing and fun. She has a joyful personality which makes for good conversation. She is very supportive and provides paperwork on a timely basis. I would recommend Lila for your next home buying experience, she is an expert in her field, and I am very pleased she helped me find my home. "

- Silvia Pelayo (Buyer)

" Lila was entirely involved and worked with a complex transaction in a difficult market and resolved every challenge with grace and a fantastic can-do attitude. Lila's engagement and commitment to my satisfaction and to the satisfaction of every stakeholder's requirements was remarkable. I can strongly recommend Lila - and I already have, to a prospective seller. Lila's expertise and sound, clear advice helped me, my wife, and our family through a stressful negotiation with whipsaw emotions and successfully closed with us on the home we will live and love for many years. We will be proud to say we know Lila, we have successfully worked with her, and working with Lila resulted in a successful buyer's transaction. "

She does her research when it comes to pricing, and her recommendation allowed me to receive a full price offer after being on the market less than a week.
