My daughter and I decided to move to Summerville, SC from Kansas last year. We flew out to SC for a few days to look around and at this time, I didn't have a realtor yet. By chance, we stopped at an open house and met Angie!!! She was so nice and easy to talk with, almost like we had known each other for years! The next month, we flew back out and Angie had the day lined up with showings. She was great on pointing out the positives/negatives of each house. She wanted us to feel comfortable about our new home. Angie was extremely helpful with our long distance move. She was always available to answer any questions. We definitely made the right decision on Angie being our realtor!!! DeeAnna
