Diligent, thorough, and communicative

Shameen helped us throughout the process of simultaneously selling and buying a home, which is always quite the juggling act. She was attentive, communicative, and very patient in answering all of our questions. During a bit of a hairy AI process after inspection, Shameen was super critical in crafti...ng language that would ensure the seller was held accountable for certain items of which the inspection didn't properly capture issues around. Would definitely be using her services for all future real estate transactions!

Fast, friendly, patient

Before we ultimately closed, we were under contract on two other properties. Shameen was our attorney for all three negotiations. She was always quick to get back to us, often making time to speak outside of normal business hours (weekend and nights). She was always friendly and professional, and did... a great job of explaining things to us without ever coming off as patronizing. She would give us—always patiently—her unvarnished opinion, telling us when sellers were being unreasonable and when we were the ones who needed to adjust our expectations. We would absolutely use her again.

Excellent communication and follow up

Shameen helped me get through a difficult closing where there were delays and a seller who was not cooperative. It was great to have Shameen on my side to facilitate all the ever changing circumstances. She always kept in touch with me and she was on top of making sure all details were covered. I ...highly recommend her for your real estate transactions!
