Sylmarie was the perfect agent anyone could have. No only does she know her properties and local communities but most importantly she listens to her clients needs and doesn't waste their time or try and redirect them from their needs. We were very pleased with the process.
Syl Trowbridge was a total professional who guided me with efficiency and kindness through the entire process of selling my mother's house. She paved the way for me to contact the professionals I needed to prepare the house for sale. She facilitated all that I needed to do and went above and beyond all my expectations in establishing the schedule and timelines. I had complete confidence in the advice she provided, but she allowed me to make the decisions based on her input. This experience could have been emotionally difficult, but Syl was always by my side. I cannot say too many good things about this highly competent, lovely person. Thank you.
Always positive, always professional and always fair. Syl knows her market, has done the research and has great ideas. This was my third real estate transaction with Syl and I would not use anyone else. I highly recommend her.
We have been fortunate to buy a house and sell a house with Syl, and in both cases, she was a dream agent. She was responsive, professional, warm, and sympathetic. Both transactions were successful, but neither was completely easy. Syl explained things clearly and advocated for us at every turn. It was great to have her in our corner!
Syl is fantastic! She guided us over many calls and showings as we navigated our home search in Princeton from another state. Syl is extremely knowledgeable and helped coordinate our purchase seamlessly. We are very grateful to Syl for helping us find our dream home!
Syl was such an expert that we, as first time buyers and complete novices, always felt confident and knew we were in good hands. She answered every one of our many questions with poise, detail, and care; she was always available to hold our hand through the process. We were able to find our home in three short weeks, which is truly remarkable by all accounts. This is all thanks to Syl’s expertise and thoughtfulness.
We have our dream home because of Sylmarie’s guidance. She was an excellent agent. We were first time home buyers and could not have gotten through the process without her gentle guidance and support. She was patient, professional, caring, and understanding. If you’re looking for an agent, look no further. Sylmarie is truly the best.
