Dear Mr. Jones, (President of Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty)
I am writing in response to the Satisfaction Survey that you recently sent to my wife and I.regarding the home purchase we made with the help of one of your agents, Marty Griffin. The Survey is a great way to provide feedback, but I had more to say than I could fit on it, thus this letter.
Marty provided outstanding service to my wife and I during the 16 months that we spent looking at various properties on the Outer Banks and in the Currituck and Elizabeth City areas. I have always been suspicious of the commissions that Realtors earned. However, Marty worked so hard for us and was so helpful during our home purchase process that he not only earned his commission, I wish that we had the resources to have paid him so much more- he really did that well for us!
Marty went above and beyond the call of duty while helping Rachel and I. He helped us investigate more than a hundred homes on-line and he helped us look at several dozen in person. He made phone calls for us and was our man-on-site during the hectic weeks leading up to closing. Buying a home from out-of-state was not easy, but Marty helped so much that he made it as smooth as possible. He kept in touch with our lender, our closing attorney and the seller during the entire process, making calls on our behalf and helping push the closing process through to the end. As a big bonus he made us feel like we were his #1 clients all the time, which was a great personal touch.
If you ever have clients looking to work with a great Realtor, please point them in Marty's direction. He is an absolute winner and he will be our Realtor forever. He's a great guy, did an awesome job and we highly, HIGHLY recommend Marty to anyone out there needing a Realtor's services.
Thank you for this opportunity to brag on Marty. The praise is well earned and we will always be grateful for what he did for us.

Marty couldn't have done a better job helping me sell my house in Kill Devil Hills last fall. He went out of his way to make himself available and to help me on a personal level. Marty was also very attentive and professional in handling the details of closing the transaction, which was very expedient! He is very personable. I got exactly what I was looking to get from the sale and I'm very thankful for all of his efforts. It's only right that his hard and excellent work be given credit with these few words of thanks

"After 20 years of renting on the Outer Banks we finally decided to become property owners but we didn't know where to start and the options were a bit overwhelming. By pure luck and the grace of God we stumbled upon Marty Griffin. Not only did Marty go above and beyond the call of duty in finding our perfect dream house, he helped in many other ways that were totally unexpected. Being from Pennsylvania, trying to pull off a transaction of this size from 600 miles away was very daunting, but Marty made it easy for us. Not only do we consider Marty to be one of the best Realtors on the Outer Banks, he also became a good friend in the process."

"I've bought and sold Real Estate for 20 years. I must say that Marty has been the best, most pleasant and most professional / courteous person to deal with. My Husband feels the same way. It's rare to find a sales agent that can deal with stress as well as Marty and still keep things under control. He went way out of his way to keep me updated even doing so while on vacation and weekend trips. You are truly lucky to have such a person on your sales staff."

"Having spent 25 years in the service industry, I have a fair amount of knowledge about the subject. The service Marty provided to us throughout the process was exemplary and he should be commended for his patience with respect to educating us and assisting us through the transaction."

"We have used the services of Marty Griffin in both buying and selling Real Estate on the Outer Banks. When we bought our property, we were out of state. Marty handled a lot of the details that we couldn't because of being so far away. He always went above and beyond the call of duty. He even found us a place to stay that would accept two big dogs when we needed to be here for settlement. Marty has knowledge of the Outer Banks that is helpful if you're not local to the area. He is friendly and professional and never high-pressure. Marty's great at communication. you always know where you are in the process because he keeps you up-to-date. As soon as he knows something he'll call. And he always returns calls promptly. We've dealt with quite a few real estate agents over the years and working with Marty has been the best experience we've had."
