Hired Attorney

A few years ago I had put my house up for sale "By Owner." It was suggested by a "friend of a
friend" that I contact Shawn Bolger for help in this type sale. She gave me a contract to be completed with the sale, walking me through the process. She was very personable and helpful. Due to the economy I was unable to sell my house but I would definitely use Shawn Bolger again. She is very knowledgeable about real estate transactions. I felt comfortable dealing with her.

Hired Attorney

Shawn is a great lawyer. We had a very quick closing for the sale of our home and purchase of a new one (less than 4 weeks). She was able to get everything completed on time. Her assistant Jessica is wonderful to deal with too. We did have a hard time getting hold of Shawn a couple of times. (With our quick closings, we had some tight deadlines, but Shawn came through both times.) Overall, we were very satisfied with her services.
