Tess Crossen

First of all, I always turn to Shirley and I only refer to Shirley. I have bought through her and sold through her. She is practical, extremely honest, prices properties spot on, and gets you where you need to go rapidly. Her sense of commitment does not end with a sale. She is a resource in terms of finding competent contractors and other professionals. Further, Shirley is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has a sense of humor and gets into experiencing each house with you instead of being distracted anticipating a sale. SHe gathers data from your reactions and gets back out there searching for the perfect home for you. She has stayed with me on every adventure intent on meeting my needs-grounding me even when I have been off on a baloon ride in terms of housing fantasy. She is intent on long-term relationships, extending herself as a resource through the years as my life has marched on and changed. She nevers forgets a client. I will say it again: I will always turn to Shirley and I am referring you to Shirley. I think you will be as pleased as I am.

I have dealt with Shirley in purchasing my first house in state college back in 2017. She was so responsive and able to keep up with the fast market in this area. This year I decided to sell my house after i moved out of town. She was very supportive ! she helped me to repaint, maintain, contact property management, and every single thing I needed.

I am so grateful for her patience and support and highly recommend her!

I worked with Shirley and appreciated her candidness as a partner in my real estate transaction. As a seller or buyer, you need to do your own research, speak to multiple realtors and get a sense of market conditions before choosing a broker. I felt that Shirley provided me the support I needed to make the best decisions in terms of marketing my property. She was prepared and very responsive to the numerous calls and questions I had as a seller. I know that I wasn't an easy client and I'm happy to say that I received the support I requested. Sure enough, the home sold a day after the open house with a relatively smooth closing.

Thanks, Shirley!

The first time I met Shirley was back in '06.  I had been through 2 other agents who were disappointing to say the least.  I searched online a long time to find a new agent, and came across Shirley.  She did not disappoint.  I have very high expectations, and she lived up to all of them.  She helped me buy a home within a short period of time for the price I wanted to spend.  The process was very smooth, and professional.  Fast forward 11 years, and I contacted Shirley to sell the house she helped me purchase.  I was living out-of-state, and fully trusted her to list the property, give professional advice on all the offers I had the first day my home was listed, negotiate a closing price I am happy with, and handle all the paperwork because I could not be in Pennsylvania.   The house was put on the market and closed on in less than a month!  Shirley knows the area, and is connected.  She is one of the few realtors I've met who has integrity.  She will not play games.  She is straightforward, and knows what she's doing.  I cannot recommend her enough.... and the only bad thing is she's set the bar so high I'm going to have a hard time finding her equal in Texas.

My experience with Shirley was both in selling and buying houses. She is always enthusiastic and positive, and very, very helpful both in knowledge and interaction with other buyer/seller. In a recent purchase of a house, I encountered issues that we found during final walk-through. I did know what to do but it was Shirley who helped me in mediating and negotiating with sellers at the closing, so that the problem finally got resolved. She is very kind and drove us to see properties. She honestly give us her opinions about the houses. She is very patient, never pushed us when we were not able to make decision (we felt bad that it actually took two years since she took us for the first show). 

I definitely recommend her to anybody who wants to buy/sell a house without hesitation.

As someone who has had the pleasure of working with Shirley Hsi, as both a buyer and a seller, I would like to take this opportunity to offer our highest recommendation. Shirley possesses all the attributes of an excellent agent/Realtor: she knows her market extremely well; she is diligent, responsive, and yet very patient with her clients. Shirley is both very professional and personable. She clearly takes pride in doing a good job. 

During our search for a home, Shirley was both patient and thorough. She showed us only those properties that met our criteria, and was patient enough to spend the time it took for us to feel comfortable making a buying decision. A huge undertaking since we were looking for a home for me, my husband, my son, my daughter and son-in law. 

After we purchased our new home, Shirley assisted me in the selling of my current home. She worked with me to put together a game plan, and she gave wise counsel along the way. We did some judicious updating, tweaked the plan as we went along and we hit our goals. Most importantly, we sold my home for more than we initially thought possible.

I have bought and sold a lot of real estate over the years and I was very impressed with Shirley's professionalism and knowledge. She is definitely the best!

Shirley's long standing presence in the State College area brings the local knowledge every home buyer and seller should expect. She takes the time to understand her clients' needs and makes sure it will be a success. She also has the patience to explain necessary requirements of the process and is always responsive when prompted.

She has helped us both buy a house and sell a house and we would not have any hesitation to use and recommend her services in the future.

We needed someone special because we were not just selling our home, but also downsizing, in a big way, for a move to a retirement village. Shirley understood our needs completely. She knows the real estate business totally, from contract language and laws, to the local real estate market, and how to find the perfect persons for our downsizing needs. We found we didn't have to worry about the process of selling a house because we were taught and guided every step of the way , and Shirley was always available to answer any questions or concerns we might have -- an invaluable requirement for us. Shirley was our advocate at a difficult time. We highly recommend her.

Shirley is a hard worker, being very proactive in the selling of our home. She talked through the strategy with us at every stage. She was good at listening to what our desires were but did not hesitate to give her expert opinion to fill in the gaps.

Shirley and her team have helped us sell two homes and buy one. Both Shirley and her team responded quickly, provided sage counsel, and went above and beyond the call of duty to have a smooth transaction. In the first case, we had a cash offer in ten days and on the second sale, we had a confirmed offer in approx. three weeks. Shirley did a great job of balance expectations and handling a challenging buyer. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in the State College, PA area. Mark Luellen

So pleased I had Shirley help sell my home. She advised me with great skill and knowledge. She was constantly in touch with me and knew the process so well and communicated that information so clearly. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor.

Shirley was very professional and efficient. She communicated quickly and clearly, and she always explained the processes and options involved in purchasing a house well. In addition, she was available to set up showings and answer phone calls -- it was never a hassle to get in touch with her.
