We had been looking at a lot of homes by going to Open Houses. Then we met Mika at one Open House. She just impressed us with how much she knew and how generous she was with her knowledge and time. We felt we could trust her to do her best for our needs and she did. She did not do fear tactics and often discouraged us from putting offers on homes she felt might become a problem later.  Looking at homes by yourself is not the same as when you look at homes with Mika by your side as she explains a lot. We learned a lot in the whole process. We are so grateful to Mika as she bought us a home for much less than we had thought we might need to spend. We thought we would have a hard time in a hot market because we did not want to heavily overpay in bidding wars. When we found the right property that met our exact layout requirements, Mika wasted no time and swooped down and bought it for us even before it came on the market throwing out the competition. She understands price and how to position us so that we are the best buyers for that house!   Our property has appreciated significantly from the time we bought it just a few years ago. We stay in touch. We take Mika out for lunch every year to celebrate together and tell all our friends!!
