"Norma Went Above and Beyond Anything We Had Expected!"

As young parents of a toddler, Gillian Karp and Ian Bricknell wanted to move to a family-friendly neighborhood where their son had room to grow. Even though they loved their home in Old Town Alexandria, they decided to sell it and move to Chevy Chase, Maryland.
When they made the decision to sell, they hired Norma Stratton to help. And they were glad they did.
Gillian said, "Norma is a very honest, authentic person both personally and professionally. We trusted her immediately."
"She did so much for us; she definitely went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did she provide sound advice about what our home needed to get it sold, she also held lots of open houses and marketed it effectively."
Gillian continues, "Because we purchased another house before ours sold, Norma made sure to monitor our property and took care of any issues that arose when it became vacant."
Ms. Karp and Mr. Bricknell are such fans of Norma´s that they have tried to convince her to get her Maryland real estate license so she can work with them there!
"We want everyone to know how skilled and up-to-date Norma is on the market, where it´s going and what people are looking for. She´s a very valuable resource."

"Norma Had the Yin to My Yang"

With a response as original as "she had the yin to my yang" when describing how Norma Stratton made his buying experience enjoyable, you know that helicopter pilot John James enthusiastically endorses Norma´s services. 
John says, "She had the capabilities I was lacking in home buying knowledge. As a single military man, she could answer questions I couldn´t. She would even bring up factors that eluded me in my home buying evaluation."
Would Mr. James recommend Norma to others? "Yes!" In fact, he already has. "She´s very nice, very knowledgeable and my mom and girlfriend like her." And that´s a ringing endorsement if ever there was one!

"Norma Treated Me Like I was Important to Her"

One of the qualities Lee Ann Gardner liked most about Norma Stratton was "that Norma treated me like I was very important to her and she focused her attention on my needs when we were together."
Lee Ann found this in Norma´s incredibly helpful in helping her feel comfortable with the decisions she had to make.
Lee Ann explains, "Norma is a very pleasant and fun person to be around; she isn´t high-pressure. She listens to what you tell her and acts on it. I felt that she genuinely cared that the house I bought was the right one for me."
"I would certainly recommend Norma to anyone. You can trust her to help you with your home search and she´ll do whatever it takes to make the process as easy and as enjoyable as she can. Since buying a house is a very stressful thing, having the right agent to help makes it all easier to deal with."
Ms. Gardner has offered to speak to anyone who is interested in hiring Norma. If you would like to contact Lee Ann, call Norma for her contact information.

I would tell them that aside from being an experienced professional, she is very easy to work with and has a great way of making a person feel comfortable with their choices/decisions."
