When we were looking for a real estate agent to list our home in Forest Park, Dorothy Gillian stood out immediately. She lives in Forest Park, serves on the Chamber of Commerce, and has a solid track record of being the selling agent for transactions at the high end of the market. In our first conversation with her, she demonstrated a deep understanding of the current market in the area. She provided good advice regarding preparing the home for listing and some tips as we went along.
Although we invested in upgrading the interior with new carpet, painting all rooms, sealing the driveway, and working with great neighbors to upgrade some of the fencing we shared, buyers always are able to find and ask for more tweaks. Dorothy helped us find a great local plumber for some sewer repair, an HVAC service for minor maintenance, repairing a fan switch, and arranging the required Village inspection. She and her daughter, Anna, met the tradespeople who showed up to do the work, let them in, and monitored the work. She was instrumental in negotiating with the buyer's agent and attorney to our advantage.
We have bought and sold numerous houses over the years and among the keys to success are:
Dorothy and Anna were great partners from start to finish.
We have made friends for life.
