Sosi was honestly the best agent I've come across when it comes to property searching, and to me usually those experiences are very different than what it was with her. She is honest, funny and genuinely a great person to be around. Never knew this side of humour existed in property agents, as usually they are very staged. Sosi on the other hand never made me feel not even for a second that Im being forced to be there, I genuinely wanted to!
