“Carly Esslinger of Town and Mountain Realty was an absolutely wonderful real estate agent to work with, and we can't recommend her highly enough! Carly was patient, flexible, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process of downsizing and selling our house to move to an apartment. She was always professional, approachable, and easy to communicate with. She provided honest, insightful feedback that helped us make confident, informed decisions. She offered a list of inspectors, cleaners, plumbers, and electricians who helped us get our house ready to sell. With her guidance, we were able to sell our house in a week. We're so grateful to have worked with her, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.”
