Testimonials

“The Best”. Miranda is the most qualified, knowledgeable, personable and hard-working agent I have ever dealt with. She makes the selling process so stress free. Miranda is always available and quick to respond to all phone or email queries. Thank you Miranda for going above and beyond. I will never hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know that is looking to buy or sell a home.

Maureen Orso

“We had the pleasure of working with Miranda on the sale of our home. Her knowledge of the industry is a reflection of her years of experience. She made the process easy and sold my home quickly. Thank you Miranda!”

Mandy Erickson

“Miranda is amazing! I wouldn’t want any one else helping me through the process of buying (or selling) a house. She is knowledgeable and does her best to make sure you have as much information as possible when making your decisions. All that and she’s a wonderful person. Thanks Miranda for helping me find my dream home TWICE!”

Amber H

“Miranda is awesome! She was on her way home from a personal trip to England when I sent her a note about a house I was interested in putting an offer on. I figured I’d hear back in a few days but instead I got a phone call from Miranda while she was still on the tarmac.

By the time she was home, she had submitted my offer and the house was mine.”

Megan McGraw

“In a word Miranda is FABULOUS!
She was able to work with my schedule and show me listings for a new home that we exactly what I was looking for. She was able to provide valuable advice and knowledge which helped me to select the perfect home. Any questions I had, Miranda was able to answer and put any concerns I had to rest. She made me feel comfortable with the purchase of my new home.
Thanks again Miranda for helping me purchase my new home!”
