Our sales experience was long and drawn out. We began the search a full year before we actually purchased. Marla Hillerich worked diligently with us to find our dream home in Colorado. Because we are from out of state you can imagine the difficulties but Marla continuously communicated and searched for the "right" place. After a full year, Marla was successful in getting us the home we have been waiting on. Understanding our wants and needs, and knowing the area was much appreciated and having been involved in more than a handful of real estate transactions, I can simply say that I wish I could have Marla handling all my future one.
