Tonie may have saved me $200,000 in an hour last weekend! I was in the
process of signing a contract to purchase a house when a minor question
came up with the listing agent. Tonie, who was
present as a witness and notary, could have just allowed us to work it
out ourselves but instead she facilitated the discussion by asking some
neutral but very important questions. As the talks went on, it became
clear that there were several underlying issues with this transaction
that could become a problem in the future such as claims of fraud on
prior transactions and the ability of the seller to make sound
decisions.
Had Tonie not asked the questions she did, in the
way that she did, I would not have known about these issues. Tonie's
former real estate experience and her ability to understand the
ramifications of what was being said by the listing agent and the seller
in casual conversation led her to step up and refuse to notarize any
documents until these issues could be resolved. Had she not been willing
to do that, I may have completed the transaction and later lost the
house in a legal battle. I can't say enough about how impressed I was
with Tonie's professionalism and skills and how much I appreciate her
saving my bacon! I'll be using her services much more in the future!
