I just recently sold a home to a wonderful family in Franklin, MA . They relocated from Omaha, NE and they are wrote me a wonderful testimonial. It is so nice to help someone and then to boot receive a wonderful testmonial. See the testimonial below: "With less than six weeks to find a house and move half way across the country, Mary Rothman could not have been a better match for us.  In addition to being very professional, Mary was fun to work with.  She responded in every possible way to our needs regarding the type of house and neighborhood we were seeking, and worked tirelessly during a very short amount of time to make sure the house we bought would truly be the one that was right for us. She made our relocation that much easier!"   Pam and Matthew Roth Franklin, MA 10/30/2008
