We had Karen D. first and she left for a few days off after showing us new houses and taking us around for about two and a half hours. Then we needed someone else to show us a house we found by ourselves.

Our second person was/is Jim McLaughlin, a mature man who has been so helpful, even to going out and measuring the windows on our new house, without really being asked to. (He knew I wanted to sew window treatments.) He is a good listener, and "our age". We liked him a lot. He even took pictures and sent them to us on the day of closing, which we did by mail. He is a villager and lives in his second village home, a Villa, (he downsized from a ranch.) We liked him because he was so honest and not at all show off or pretentious or anything like "slick Eddie, the used car salesman".
