This past year has seen a dramatic increase in the number of multiple offer scenarios. These situations are very stressful on both buyers and real estate agents. My agents have had to do a lot of consoling and hand holding with buyers. Having highly qualified and professional agents working with us has helped bring calm to many transactions.”
