House in Normal, IL

My husband was delighted to get a new job in the Bloomington-Normal area in March, 2011.  Once his contract was signed, I called my realtor in Virginia to have her help me with a relocation service to find a realtor here. Cathy called me back the very next day and we talked about our needs for a home here.  I was impressed with her patience with me and the fact that she’d lived here her whole life, compared to me, who had never even been here!  I planned a trip out here two weeks away.  She showed me around the area before we even looked at any homes, which was nice.  She had scheduled many visits for the afternoon of my arrival based upon our internet searches while in Virginia.  She was willing to devote her entire weekend to my house-hunting visit.  We narrowed the field that weekend after looking at nearly thirty homes and I returned with my husband the next weekend to make an offer after he’d seen the “short list” of houses.

She was easy to work with and showed me all manner of homes that had the features we desired.  She came to the closing and has been a “go-to” person as far as learning about the area for me.

We appreciate her time and efforts toward helping us find a home and settle into the area.  Thank you!
