Cornelia is easy to engage, very thorough, and notably forthcoming in offering her advice and valuable perspective in identifying potential purchase properties and, subsequently, throughout the entire purchase process from the offer to the sales contract and through settlement. Cornelia is well-connected in the Maryland Eastern Shore area and highly knowledgeable about the skilled craftsmen, contractors, and service providers in the vicinity. She helped guide us to the best inspectors and service providers as the purchase transaction progressed. After settlement, Cornelia has graciously offered to continue to serve as our primary point of contact as questions arise and/or as we identify the need for contractor expertise/service businesses. We strongly recommend Cornelia.

Cornelia helped sell our house in St. Michaels at the end of 2018. It went under contract within a week at near asking price and she managed the overall process very efficiently. Cornelia's no-nonsense approach gets the job done and we very much enjoyed working with her.
