I first met Annalise while at an open house in Occidental. I came at the end of the day and she was extremely flexible in staying past the open house time to answer my questions and show me the property. At the time, I was going through one of life's transitions and was also in need of an agent to sell my vineyard property. After talking to her for a while, it was clear she understood how to sell my type of property, the market conditions both for the seller and the buyer, and what was necessary to get it done. We faced many challenges during the process of selling my property, not least of which were the fires that occurred while our house was on the market. Annalise was there by my side, providing encouragement and support, always willing to go the extra mile. During the sales process, Annalise demonstrated a high level of integrity, holding the buyer's agent accountable during the process. Once my property was pending, I called upon Annalise again to help me find and buy the house that I'm living in now. Given some of the extraordinary circumstances that we were facing in Santa Rosa as a result of the fires, she again went to bat for me during the process of the offer, speaking candidly to the seller's agent about my circumstances and crafting an agreement before closing of escrow that allowed me to move into my house while I waited for my escrow to close on the property I was selling. In this disconnected day and age of "mobile" and "online" everything, having a real person on the ground that understands your needs and represents your interests with the highest integrity is a rare commodity. I highly recommend Annalise and would use her again for my real estate needs.
