"Somer was so patient and understanding through the whole process. We are convinced the video she created is why our house sold in 13 days. She was thorough and helped us when there were some challenging moments in the process. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to sell their home."
D. Drolett- Home Seller
"We worked with Somer to purchase our home and had an amazing experience. When it came time to sell she was our first and only call. She is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and hard-working. She went above and beyond to answer our questions and with her help, we sold our home within days above the asking price. She's worked with several of our friends as well and all have had superior experiences. I'd recommend Somer to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
L. Daigle- Home Seller
"Somer is perfectly personable and professional. She has faultless knowledge and insight. I was astounded at how quickly she sized my wife and me up, determining our tastes and desires. Immediately she began pointing out what we wanted before we knew it ourselves. We are very happy with our home that we bought with her assistance and with the tenets she found. My wife and I can't recommend her enough! "

U. Baig- Home Seller
"As first-time home buyers, we were very lucky to have Somer as our realtor. We purchased our home while living abroad and definitely couldn't have done it without Somer's experience and knowledge. She went above and beyond every step of the way. We were in an awkward time zone, but she worked extended hours to accommodate our situation. She even took care of making some phone calls for us knowing we weren't able to call during business hours. She really treated us like family and helped us above and beyond what we expected! We recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor!"
S. Brown- Home Buyer
"We have gone through the home sale process 5 times and Somer is the best a selling a house ... which is not a knock against our past agents. Somer's marketing of the home was superb. Pricing of the house was spot on. The video of the property and the photography were top notch. Somer's communication was very responsive throughout the process. When the negotiations got difficult, Somer was very professional and level headed. We feel fortunate to been referred to her....by a friend that was another satisfied client! "
J. Horner- Home Seller
"Somer Padilla came recommended to me by several friends/coworkers, and I really can't say enough good things about her. She was a fantastic person to work with, even though I was a first-timer navigating my way through the process. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes to navigate the purchase of my home. Luckily, I got the house I wanted under the conditions I wanted, and I can honestly say, I'm not sure it would have happened had she not been my Realtor®."

"Simply put, Somer is an excellent Agent. She will be our first call before our next real estate transaction. As first-time home buyers, she made us feel confident and comfortable with each decision in the multi-stage process. She has a high-functioning team in place ready to ensure the whole transaction is as easy as possible and made herself personally available to answer our many questions. She helped us negotiate, did personal walk-throughs, made "best practice" recommendations, and reviewed documents and contracts to make sure all bases were covered. If you are buying or selling, you will not regret contacting this Professional. "
