Carolyn Kirkman

Gretchen went above and beyond in helping us purchase our first home. The price was negotiated down into our budget range and we even got a seller's concession after the inspection process. We follow Dave Ramsey's financial principles and it was wonderful to have Gretchen in our corner. There's so may other opinions and pressures in the housing market right now and it was great to have Gretchen keep us focused on what we wanted and valued. We've begun our home ownership journey with absolute peace of mind and I'm so thankful for her help to get us there.

Gretchen was outstanding in helping us sell our home and purchase a new home! She negotiated so well for both buying and selling and we ended up with a lot more in our bank account than expected because of her! I cannot recommend her highly enough! If we ever need to purchase or sell a home again I will absolutely choose to work with Gretchen again!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Gretchen in selling our home in Greensboro and us moving/buying our new home in the area my husband grow up in the country back in June of 2023. When we were in crunch mode to make sure our contingent plan worked out Gretchen communicated and made things happen to make our dream become reality. Of course GOD was the center around it all but he placed Gretchen in our lives to sell, buy and have a lifetime friend as well. Thanks again Gretchen to you, your husband and daughter for playing a great role in our home selling and home buying experience.♥️
