~ Dear Deana:

I just wanted to take time to let you know how very pleased Lisa and I are with the service, efficiency, and courtesy we received from you and your staff during our home sale.

I called 2 other Realtors previous to you opening your office. One never bothered to show up. The other never returned my call. When you opened your office, I thought I would try the ‘new guy' in town. You didn't disappoint me.

Your smiling face was always a pleasure to see and the suggestions and help you gave us in preparing our home for sale were, I'm sure, one of the main reasons we got 2 full price offers in 4 days and ended up getting MORE than our asking price!!

I have bought and sold many houses in my time, not only for my personal use, but also as an investor. This is the FIRST time I've had such a great and pleasurable experience that I wanted to write a letter of ‘thanks.' You are a true professional.

The closing gifts you gave us were very thoughtful. You are the first Realtor I've ever received a gift from. These are the kind of simple touches that will keep you ahead of the competition.

I have told many people about you and will continue to do so. Please feel free to use this letter as a testimonial and, in addition, I would be happy to talk to anyone who would like a reference. Don't hesitate to give out my phone number.

Congratulations on your new agency. I know you will do well as you really care about your customers.

Sincerely,

Larry
