Testimonials

 

We have now used Helen three times. Twice on the buy side and once on the sale side. Through all transactions she was very supportive providing us the counsel needed to make the best decision for our family. Helen has a sense of urgency and energy that is unmatched! She is willing to go as fast as you are comfortable but also willing to be patient (no high pressure sales!) to wait for the right opportunity. I really appreciate working with Helen and would recommend without hesitation for those looking to buy or sell.
 

Hawthorn Woods Buyer & Seller – Brian and Kristine Sizemore

We have now used Helen Oliveri and her team for selling two homes and buying two homes over the last 11 years.  When working with Helen we always knew she would do everything in her power to make sure the transactions went as smoothly as possible and that we were taken care of.  If you want to have a realtor that will be in your corner fighting for you throughout the real  estate process, chose Helen and her team.
