βTerra was an excellent listener. She asked the right questions and took time to clearly understand our situation and needs. She offered alternatives when possible, was ecologically aware, proved accurate in her financial estimates, and successfully represented our wishes to the many parties involved. The process was a delight, and we achieved our desired results.β
