Dear Earl,

As for the selling of our old home, you made your value evident. I never in my wildest dreams thought that we could have sold our home for the price we did. You were able to negotiate a price that was substantially higher than I would have targeted. Your experience and success in the sale of our home is paying for an updated kitchen in our new home. My wife is ecstatic.

You made buying our new home an enjoyable experience, and helped keep the stress level to a minimum. You are the only realtor we have ever dealt with who has been able to so closely match what was on the market with what we were looking for in a home. And your cool headed technical expertise was a big plus when it came to assessing layouts, existing and potential renovations location, and resale issues.

Dear Earl,

Melissa and I want thank you for all your hard work during our transition to becoming first-time homeowners. We knew you were the perfect agent for us when we firs met you. Your relaxed approach and knowledge of the market made it an easy decision for us to make.

Our friends who had used other agents were shocked to hear that you continued to remain a valuable consultant to us even after the contract was signed.

Michael & Melissa January 26, 2015

Dear Earl,

Just a note to let you know you are the best! We love the house and will recommend you to all we know who are looking for one. We'll be back in touch in about 5 years when we're ready to sell.

Dear Earl,

We are writing to thank you for the excellent service you provided as our real estate agent. The house is perfect for us and based on recent home sales, we believe that we got it at a great price. We just wanted you to know that we could not have done it without you! We believe that many agents would have tried to talk us into buying something that we were not entirely satisfied with. We believe your low key approach sets you apart from the majority of real estate agents. We also believe that we really benefited from your knowledge and experience with older homes. Your market analyses were also very helpful in developing bid prices. We cannot thank you enough for being our advocate at the closing. We would not have spotted the issues you raised in connection with the closing costs.

Dear Earl,

Melissa and I want to thank you again for the excellent job you did as your real estate agent. We were very apprehensive entering the home buying process, but that quickly disappeared once we began working with

you. You were, without exception, courteous, prompt, attentive and very knowledgeable - a complete professional. I especially appreciated how accessible you always were.

You also put to rest my perception al all real estate agents as high-pressure salesmen. We never once felt pressured by you in any of our decisions and were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves having to ask for your opinion about the homes we visited: I doubt many home buyers could say the same about their agent.
