Our home buying experience with Evelyn was truly not only positive, it was life saving.  Moving to the area to become a caregiver caused my life to turn upside down but her gentle patience helped us through it all AND identified the perfect home.  She was kind enough to include my family for whom I was caregiving and never hesitated to show us "one more home".  She made the process enjoyable and I felt that her help was so thorough.

Although we had moved quite a bit and therefore have been through the home buying process a lot, our selection was totally due to her experience.  When my husband finally flew in to see my selections, she encouraged me to revisit one home she thought we really ought to reconsider. And that was the one we ended up buying!!  You had gotten to know us so well that you guided us through this traumatic time in our life and helped us make the best decision.
Thank you so much.  You are much more than an agent.  Katey and John


Like most new home buyers my wife and I experienced a full range of emotions during the purchase process.  Everything from fear and anxiety to pride and joy.  Our agent, Evelyn Mortenson was a master at minimizing the fear and maximizing the joy.  She listened to our priorities , respected our price range, and dedicated weeks of her time researching and viewing potential properties with us.  During the negotiation process Evelyn educated, and guided us to the best possible price on our selected home: ten's of thousands of dollars below the asking price. She helped us negotiate a sale price less than we thought possible.  She directed the repair of minor defects that we would have accepted without a second thought, all at no additional cost.  Evelyn dominated the closing process and had all of our request and wishes addressed.  We are now living in the home of our dreams with no thoughts of "buyers remorse. I have a new friend for life; Evelyn, thanks for the exceptional service, you've made a customer for life.

We have had the privilege and opportunity to know Evelyn Mortenson since May, 1992, when my husband's work brought him to this area.  Needless to say, having never moved before, it was a traumatic situation for our family.  While in Virginia, we had several previous occasions to have dealings with realtors, which left us angry and distrustful.  Our experience with Evelyn was truly a pleasant surprise.  She listened, tried to understand our needs, knowing how emotional this move was going to be for us.  The end result was the successful purchase of a lot, and finding us contractors to build our home and closing on the home, with no anguish that we had encountered before.

Since that time, we have used Evelyn in at least two other real estate transactions and have not hestitated to recommend her to others.  In looking for a realtor, whether you are a buyer or seller, you would be very hard pressed to find anyone that would work harder to fulfill your needs or be more trustworthy than Evelyn.
