Shelly Porter of CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty

As first time home-buyers, my husband and I naturally had a lot of questions and concerns about making the most important purchase of our lives. Shelly was there to help guide us through each step and explained things thoroughly. She also shared information in a easy to understand way and we felt confident that we were making informed decisions. She took the stress and anxiety out of the home buying experience. We are so grateful for her patience and professionalism. Shelly surpassed all of our expectations about her performance as a realtor. She was extremely knowledgeable and accessible. She even came to our apartment on a Sunday evening to submit a very time sensitive bid in for a home. She answered text messages and phone calls in a very timely manner- sometimes responding almost instantly! I know she had many other clients' needs to juggle while she was working with us but we honestly felt like her only clients. She is a wonderful person to work with and we will definitely reach out to her with any of our future real estate needs. In summary, our overall experience was amazing! We found our dream starter home and Shelly made that a reality. We could not have asked for a better realtor. My family members have also counted on Shelly for buying and selling their homes and she's always comes through with great results. My co-worker recently asked if I knew any realtors in the area and without hesitation, I recommended Shelly Porter and Century 21 Redwood Realty.

Professional

A trusted friend recommended Shelly to me. My friend was right; Shelly was amazing. She taught me the ins and outs of home-buying throughout the process. She was patient, helpful and supportive. She fought hard for me when I had questions or concerns and made me feel comfortable with the process and the property. She even helped me find a contractor to made some improvements on my place in a timely manner. I trust her opinion and expertise. If and when I need her services again, I will definitely stick with her.

Shelly Porter skillfully managed a renovation and sale of my home. Even after I moved out of the area Shelly took care of everything. She is simply amazing!

Shelly was a wonderful agent to a first-time homebuyer like me. Each interaction was not just about showing me places, but also educating me about the process and what to look for. She would also help me figure out what my priorities and giving me time to think about it. When I found MY place, she answered questions about every step and all the players, and I never doubted that I was making the right decision. Shelly had helped a family member find their home, and she was the first person I approached when I was ready to buy my first home. From that first meeting, she made me feel very comfortable and knew how to help a first-time homebuyer: making suggestions of what to look for, asking if certain things were important to me without judgement, answering questions in a timely manner, being flexible to my schedule, etc. While professional and knowledgeable, she was also unfailingly enthusiastic! Thank you, Shelly, and Century 21 Redwood Realty for making this experience as pleasant as possible. Shelly helped make my long-term goal (home ownership) a reality by making each step approachable and understandable. By the time I found the place I wanted to bid on, I knew what the rest of the process would be like and felt prepared.

Shelly is fantastic- she helped us every step of the way in finding our dream home. She taught us about each part of the process so that we were active participants rather than being overwhelmed by home buying.
