| - The Brel Team, and especially Giulia Gallina, are exactly the pros you would want on your side when househunting, especially when it's your first time.
From a first-time homebuyer's perspective, here's all the things that I think matter:
1) Available and patient: Giulia took our call at 9PM on a random Wednesday night, and talked to me for as long as I needed to help me decide if I should go with her as our realtor. Great decision that I did! She was there for me throughout the entirety of the process, answering all our rookie questions, at any hour and in any medium. We even set up a chat group with her, and she was extremely responsive.
2) Not afraid to speak her mind: She comes from a construction background herself, so she knows when something is wrong with a house. Even more, she picks up on her clients' cues and makes recommendations, and helps you see the hidden gem of a property, even when you don't.
3) Understands the entire process: The entire Brel team is a well-oiled machine. And the team not only has real estate professionals, but extends to everything from home inspection, mortgage brokers, lawyers, and contractors. And all are there for you if you need them.
4) Dealmaker: When it came time for the actual purchase, Giulia strategized with us, helped me decide on a price, and most importantly, knew how to close the deal and get me the house I really wanted. On time and on budget.
5) Fun: This is a big decision, and it's a stressful one. But it should also be fun, and you should feel good about taking this step. Giulia has equal parts fun + professionalism, which made her a joy to work with throughout this entire process.
