Ok, so this will be my first in a series of "Adventures in First Time Home Owning" Yelp reviews, and there couldn't be a better way to begin then with Mary Jane Caro. I had been looking around for a long time, just googing places online, when suddenly I saw a spot that weirdly fit everything I was looking for, and shit got real. Fast.
I am not really a fully formed adult despite my age so I didn't really know what to do next. Like at all. (I have other skills, whatever.) Fortunately, a gal I had known and liked in high school and kept in touch with enough to be friends on Facebook came to mind (enter, Mary Jane Caro. Imagine fanfare.) And let's be clear, she came to mind because she posts about her job as a real estate agent a lot, and in a way that I always found super endearing. Anyone who knows her can tell she loves what she does, she's excited about it, she loves helping find a perfect fit between buyer and seller.
So anyway, I messaged her, and despite the fact that I was way out of her area (buying up North, where things are different, as you shall see in future reviews from this at-times harrowing series, oh gentle reader) and despite the fact that she's a busy professional lady with a young kiddo, she answered a zillion questions from me via FB messenger and email, she had amazing advice, helped me find the info I needed and was generally awesome and helpful and knowledgeable and calming. Perhaps most importantly calming.
Suffice it to say, I would recommend anyone to Mary Jane as a first stop in the glorious rollercoaster adulting nightmare life changing delight that is buying property in Montreal. She will take care of you and be honest and fair and not greedy and you will probably find your dream spot. I wish it for you!
