Buying a home is stressful. Buying a home while pregnant and wanting to be living in that home before the baby arrives makes it worse. That’s where my husband and I found ourselves last year. The thought of taking all of that on was incredibly daunting. Until we found Karen Occhialini.Karen eased all of our worries and made the home buying process seamless and super easy. We appreciated that she didn’t push us into buying something we didn’t want but rather, gave us the pros and cons of each home and allowed us to come to the decision on our own. It was such a relief knowing she was on our side and was willing to spend a little extra time finding us the right home.Aside from being incredibly communicative, Karen was willing to meet us to look at a home any day, at any time. My husband and I both work full time so it was wonderful knowing she could meet us after work and on weekends. We saw quite a few homes in the process but Karen was never deterred. She was always optimistic and often reminded us (typically when we were out-bid) that our forever home was waiting for us somewhere and we would find it soon.We closed on our new home just 3 short months before our daughter was born. We owe it all to Karen’s tireless effort and her genuine love of her profession. If you are looking for a home, you need to call Karen. She will ease all of your worries and make buying a home a breeze.
