A note for you from Molly

 
Let's face it. Buying or selling a home in the Traverse City area is hard. Add in the stress and confusion of a divorce, and it becomes 10 times harder. Hire a real estate agent who's never worked a divorce before, and it becomes 20 times harder. The good news is that is doesn't have to be. 
 
Throughout my 12 years working full-time as an agent in Traverse City, I have helped many clients smoothly navigate the tricky process of buying or selling a home after a divorce. Many of them have said that after their families, friends, and attorneys, they valued my help most of all. 
 
My 12 years of experience can help de-stress buying or selling after a divorce.
Here are a few things I've learned over the years to help make real estate transactions after a divorce close with as little stress as possible:

New agents are often too hungry to close a deal to guide you through the process smoothly. They usually end up adding stress when they should be helping to reduce it. With 12 years behind me, I have the experience you need.

Since you likely need to buy or sell quickly, many agents will rush you through the process - again, adding stress when they should be helping to reduce it

While many agents offer empathy, I offer that and something even more valuable: the marketing, sales, and negotiation skills to de-stress your transaction as much as humanly possible.

She is not only extremely knowledgeable and capable of handling unique situations but also deeply understands the value of keeping clients informed and encouraged. Any legal situation can be disheartening, but Molly had the ability to keep everything moving in a positive direction with complete calm.
