Teresa was fabulous throughout the whole process of selling our property. It began by her helping us set a realistic sale price, which led to a quick purchase and sale agreement. After that, she was in communication with us any time there was something we needed to address before closing date, and she took time to explain details along the way. She also went out of her way to meet up with repair people at the property on our behalf on more than one occasion. Virtually all legal documents were handled electronically (and securely), which made things that much more convenient. Overall, we had a stellar experience - Teresa is a true expert and we are very grateful to have worked with her!
We loved Teresa's services when she sold us a home in 2012. So when it came
time to sell, we knew we would want the best. Teresa helped us through all facets of
the sale in a timely and knowledgeable fashion.
Just a note to thank you for all your help in our house purchase. You made the
process run so smoothly, attended to all the details and behind-the-scenes work. We
so much appreciate how easy you made it for us!
Our overall experience was Fantastic!. Teresa Merelman was exceptional to work
with. She is a great resource and totally on the ball. Would absolutely use again.
Thank you! It has been a pleasure to work with you from searching and finding what
we needed to every little piece of advice and question answered. Thank you for your
patience. What a ride! I wish you nothing but the best and hope if I ever need a
Realtor again, you are the one I can go to. Thank you for handling all of us so
gracefully....
Overall experience was excellent. Everything flowed easily. There were no problems
and closing was effortless. Teresa was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and
kept us updated continuously. We would absolutely recommend her to friends,
family and acquaintances.
Our experience was excellent! We couldn't have asked for anything better. I
recommend Teresa to other folks looking for property in the Stowe and Waterbury
area.
I will recommend you to any all my clients. Make and distribute more copies of
you!!!
Thank you for your help, advice, and time you spent with us while we searched for
our "forever home". While it was quite the process to complete, it was well worth the
wait! Thank you!
Teresa listed our Stowe condo, put it under contract, also put a home in Waterbury
under contract as our buyer representative. We knew it would difficult to close on
both the same day but with cooperation from the buyer of our condo and his agent,
seller of our new home and, of course, banks, it happened! We feel extremely lucky,
happy and content. We thank you for all of your hard work and help throughout the
house buying and selling process. You are very much appreciated and I miss our
daily phone conversations...sort of.
Teresa was the ideal realtor to list our house. She inspired confidence, is very
pleasant and professional and did a great job. Everything went smoothly because of
her expert help and advice and she didn't take long to sell the property. We are very
pleased.
Thank you for all of your help in buying our house. This was obviously an entirely
new experience for us and we greatly appreciate your patience and advice as we
worked through the process. We will certainly pass your name along to others in
need of real estate services.
Our overall experience couldn't have been better thanks to Teresa. We could not be
more pleased with our experience with Teresa. She knows her stuff and provided
the support we needed throughout. Now that we have sold our Stowe home, we
ready to retire. Thanks for all the support!
Teresa was wonderful, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. She was there for us
every step of the way. I can't think of anything to improve.
Overall, we were very satisfied with our real estate experience. We couldn't have
gotten a deal done without Teresa's savvy and relationships. Best real estate
experience ever!
Our agent went above and beyond all our expectations to make a challenging
purchase possible. Clone Teresa Merelman. We were extremely satisfied by her
representation.
Teresa is very personable and a delight to work with. Most importantly she knows
the greater Stowe area better than any other realtor I spoke with. And she was able
to obtain undisclosed information about the property we purchased which was a
tremendous help
Efficient and on top of all issues. I have been in real estate for over 40 years and
have no complaints. Handled very professionally.
We are grateful for all you have done for us. It would not have been possible, let
alone from China, without your help, guidance, wisdom and energy (not to mention
persistence). I know you will say that this is a part of your job, but I also know that
not everyone actually does it, nor that well. Thank you for having the patience to
stick with us through a two year process that hasn't always looked so linear.
