Thank you for your letter inquiring about my experience with Upper Delaware Real Estate. To say it was a positive experience would be an understatement – and I owe it all to my realtor, Catherine VanMater. Throughout the entire process – from finding a home, securing a mortgage and finalizing my purchase – Cathy was amazing and the consummate professional. I was truly appreciative of her invaluable knowledge of the home-buying process and the promptness with which she answered my numerous questions (even at night and on weekends). She really made what could have been an arduous process so much easier. Most importantly, I felt that Cathy always had my best interests at heart. I consider myself very fortunate to have had Cathy VanMater as my realtor and I will gladly recommend Cathy and Upper Delaware Real Estate to my friends who are considering purchasing a home.
