- Krysteena HildebrandErin Shinn is the best realtor we have ever worked with. He is personable, friendly and very knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of our questions over the couple of months we worked with him. We had a difficult time finding a house to suit our unique needs in the area but Erin stuck with us and would even tour houses for us when we were not in the area. When it came to negotiations, Erin was able to guide us to finally get the home of our dreams. He worked with the builder to get us credit towards closing as well as taking care of all the small details. He went above and beyond in every aspect and exceeded our high expectations. He attention to small details is amazing and he often anticipated our needs even before we knew what they were. He made sure to communicate every step with us no matter how minor and greatly minimized the stress of the home buying process. We highly recommend Erin and will be sending our friends and family to him
