"Ms. Dellane assisted us in the house search for over a year during which time she showed us dozens of homes on the market. During this process we were exposed to a number of different realtors representing homes for sale in this area. Through this process we learned that there are appropriate ways to be represented in a house purchase and it is essential that you have a knowledgeable, experienced person representing your best interest. There are circumstance that can arise in the search and purchase of a house that can jeopardize and compromise a buyer's best interest in a house purchase. Talbot county waterfront properties are a highly competitive real estate market and uninformed, naive buyers need a knowledgeable, experienced realtor as representation in this process. Ms. Dellane is expert in this market and furthermore grew up in a real estate family having been exposed to this business her entire life. Equally as important as knowledge of the market are interpersonal skills guided by a strong sense of values. There is certainly an ethical approach to selling and buying real estate that works to preserve the process by supporting the best interests of both buyers and sellers in a real estate transaction. Ms. Dellane demonstrates this ethic and fully appreciates and understands the importance of this approach in all real estate transactions. Ms Dellane knows a good contract and steered us away from one that had many loopholes in it for the seller. After many months of searching with Ms. Dellane we came across a waterfront home that was a foreclosure being held by an investment group in California. The home was quite simply exactly what we were looking for and a good bit more. The house did not show well on the internet or in person but the asset managers for the property were not on location and were fairly resistant to recommendations to improve the marketability of the house. Because Ms. Dellane felt this was a good investment for us, she very carefully maneuvered us through a lengthy 5 month multiple bid process, which ended in our purchase of the home. Ms. Delaine was able to facilitate the purchase, which was well below the asking price and after closing a conservative bank appraisal, for a small home improvement loan, showed a positive difference between purchase and value of 27%. Today Janis and I are living the dream on the water in Talbot County in the house of our dreams because we were fortunate enough to have a truly exceptional real estate agent working for us. If the above numbers do not speak entirely for themselves let me say that Ms. Delaine is an exceptional realtor and further to that is a very exceptional person and a true credit to herself and the real estate business. Both Janis and I would recommend Ms. Delaine with absolutely no reservations and with our highest endorsement."
