Jan 2015 - Sep 2016
As a Realtor® with Keller Williams Preferred Properties, Ivory looks forward to using her skills and experience to educate clients abut the home buying process and to manage the the purchase through settlement. What Clients Said: "We signed with Ivory in October of 2014 with the intention of making an offer as soon as possible. She was very good with finding out what our needs were, helping refine our vision throughout the process, and finding properties that fit our criteria. Through a few unaccepted offers and limited inventory that fit our needs it took a month and a half to find the right home for our family. Through it all Ivory was very patient and understanding and kept working hard to find the right fit for us. In my opinion, you would be hard pressed to find a Realtor that cares more about her clients, is a tireless advocate for the need of the client, and not just bottom line driven. I would highly recommend Ivory and would not hesitate to use her again on my next home purchase." The Hansboroughs Show less
