We engaged Winter Baserva primarily to focus on foreclosures in the East Cobb area. Under her guidance, she set us up in her proprietary software that focuses on good deals. We fell in love with a home she sent us through the system that was a short sale.
We had never dealt with a short sale before, but Winter assured us that she was an expert in the process. She set the expectations for us clearly up front and explained that it could be a long process and the bank or banks may not approve the short sale. As the transaction moved on, we found out the listing agent was not well versed in short sales and Winter immediately took lead in working with the seller, banks, and our lender to expedite the process. She would have done anything to make sure we would get the house we were so in love with.
At one point of the process, the banks decided to push the home into foreclosure, but Winter quickly stepped in and convinced the bank to change directions in our favor.
There is no doubt the process was long and hard, but Winter engaged us consistently with status updates, recommendations for inspectors, took care of coordinating information with the lender, and went above and beyond to ensure success. We officially closed on 10/28/09 and are very excited to be in our new home! There is no doubt that we would not have achieved this without Winter and her expertise. We were so pleased with her services, we ve hired her to sell our other home in Sandy Springs. We would highly recommend Winter Baserva to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, professional, hardworking and marketing expert.
We like you as a realtor, but love you as a person! The time you spent with the kids in the home was way more personal than most people in your position would engage. You actually enjoy it and make the extra effort to make it personal…something tells me that free babysitting card was just a ploy to see the kiddies.

We are very new to Georgia and have absolutely no idea about the schools, neighborhoods etc. Winter was very patient and extremely cooperative through out the process helping us along with information about the different neighborhoods and school districts. She has excellent knowledge of the Metro Atlanta home market and was very responsive to our queries. She was very methodical in her approach to understanding exactly what we were looking for and was always able to schedule homes for viewing with a very short notice that we gave her. We ended up buying a HomePath property ( foreclosed property with Fannie Mae). She was very knowledgeable about the process and took care of all the required details starting from putting in a bid to the very moment after closing. She even provided references for contracts to do some renovation around the house and we are extremely happy with the contractor. We could not have found a better contractor on our own.

Winter knows her stuff! I was surprised at how quickly she sold my house in a difficult economy and in a neighboring market that she grasped very quickly. She is very organized and knowledgeable in her marketing skills. Winter presented a straight-forward and accurate market analysis in a professional manner that kept me realistic and informed.
She is very enthusiastic, hardworking, loves her work, and is always available by phone, e-mail, or in-person. I liked her right away and I knew she was doing everything she could to make the sale of my house as smooth as possible. You can definitely trust her skills and advice!

Winter made our home buying experience seamless and stress free. She was very knowledgeable, proactive and responsive throughout the process.She also has an effective negotiation style that is both aggressive and personable. We ended up buying below the appraised value with seller contributing the full closing cost.

We found Winter at the beginning of May and the whole house-buying experience was a breeze from there. We toured houses only one day before finding the house we wanted to put an offer on. She was very helpful and got us the perfect deal, fast and easy. A month after finding the house we were able to close and now are first-time homeowners, all because of Winter. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to all of our friends. She made the house buying process a walk in the park!

I was a first-time home buyer and Winter made the entire process smooth and easy. She was always available to answer any questions I had and made sure to explain every step in the buying process. She also coordinated everything very well with the sellers, making the transaction stress-free on my end. Winter is very knowledgable and personable, has great contacts, and is a pleasure to work with.
I don’t think I could have had a better experience buying my first home!

Winter is an exceptional realtor. She is a “go-getter” and very proactive and responsive! I would recommend her to family & friends and she will definitely be my go-to realtor as long as I am in Atlanta. I am very particular and she helped me get the home I want, with all my “wish list” items, within my price range. She also helped me rent my condo very quickly and at the exact asking price. She is very thorough and what probably differentiates her from most realtors is her attention to the financial details of real estate. She understands the importance of making a sound investment- not just getting what you want aesthetically.

INSTANT EQUITY as a first time investor!! And I couldn’t be more happy about it!!! Winter is the BEST, and because she is SO AMAZING at finding great deals and even properties NOT LISTED ON THE MLS, she is highly sought out by all types of buyers in all price points. If you’re lucky enough to have her on your side, you’ll be singing her praises to everyone you meet. I’ve been in sales my ENTIRE life and I’ve never seen anything like her authenticity, communication, negotiation skills and ability to find homes for sale that other agents couldn’t offer me. She even backs up her services with a guarantee. Have you seen any other agent do this?? Winter constantly exceeded my expectations with her knowledge, professionalism and ability to get me instant equity.I’m blessed that she was on my side for my first purchase, but I can assure you, it will not be my last. I will never use anyone but her ever again.Joseph. Carl, Jim Ellis Audi Thank You

I just finished the home buying process with Winter as my buyer’s agent and I couldn’t be happier with the job she did. I was a bit of a tough customer, as I was picky about what I wanted, I work a crazy schedule, and my wife and I had no babysitter to watch the kids when we went out to view homes. In the face of all these challenges, Winter never ceased to be completely understanding and accomodating to our needs during the process. It really impressed me. I was also impressed by the online resources she equipped us with to aid in our search. She has access to highly customizable mls database searches that we had a great time browsing with. It took some of the headache away from searching the websites filled with outdated listings (no offense zillow). And even though Winter is very much a new-school realtor, she is very much an old-school business person who understands that sales are about earning business with integrity. Unlike the other realtors we worked with, Winter did exactly what she said she would do at every turn, and never once made us feel like we were just another sale. She is a genuinely nice person who worked hard for us, then fought tooth and nail for us when it was time to negotiate. If you’re looking for somebody who is better than the rest of the pack at what she does, and will be your advocate in this nauseating process, then Winter is definitely the realtor for you.
