Lorie Black of CENTURY 21 A Select Group

Lorie Black of Century 21 in Marshall could not have possibly been a better guide through the home-buying process. We are first-time homebuyers, and it took us a few months to get to know the market, our own preferences, our exact budget, etc. During this process, Lorie was exceptionally patient, attentive, and perceptive; she respected our time and wishes and never pushed us faster than we felt able to go. She paid such close attention to our reactions that it sometimes seemed she knew why we did or didn't like a house before we knew the reason ourselves. She was very knowledgable about the East Texas housing market and was always able to offer perceptive commentary on why a certain house was priced the way it was, what kind of offer would be likely to succeed on a given property, etc. And in addition to all of this, she has been an invaluable source of recommendations, tips on home renovation and ownership, and advice about living in the Marshall area. In short, whether you are a first-timer like us, or an old hand at home buying, you will have an excellent experience with Lorie Black. We had heard so many horror stories about the complexity and frustration of home-buying, but working with Lorie, the entire thing was surprisingly far easier than we expected. Very, very highly recommended.
