  • Our experience with Rosanna was AMAZING. Her compromise with us was absolute and professional. She helped us from the first day with dedication and discipline, showed us all the options available through email and in person, scheduled appointments with house owners, and understood our needs/requirements as a family. She found us the perfect home! She took care of all the paperwork and made the contract process very smooth. I would recommend Rosanna to my family and friends if they ever need a realtor :)
