"Update: I forgot to mention that I made this purchase while living out of state. All of my views of the home were either by way of the MLS or video calls. Bianca, along with the entire SSYHSG team, we're very professional. They have the entire purchasing process coordinated beautifully with various subject matter experts stepping in at the appropriate time. Bianca was my agent and she was always quick to respond to my texts and phone calls. She even showed me a house (the one I ended up purchasing) a day or two after she had major surgery! Now that's dedication. Bianca was very good at keeping me abreast of each step in the process as as it progressed. I never felt anxious due to the excellent and continous communication. Five stars to this team!"
