Thank you, Ron, for your most capable handling of our home sale!! From the very beginning we knew we had chosen the best realtor! Your positive attitude and sensitivity to our interests, needs, and values instilled confidence and hope throughout the process. Your clear communication and education at every step relieved all unnecessary worry or concern... to which we are most prone! But that's all touchy feely stuff! It was your professionalism, and incredible capability that ultimately produced the result we had hoped for but didn't dare believe in! To start, your market assessment and appraisal was surprisingly thorough... worthy of a professional appraiser. Your relevant and fully applicable comparables allowed us to confidently set a realistic price that we could trust. It provided us a peaceful assurance that it would not scare away potential buyers. Your help in staging our home for sale was invaluable. My wife crams too much in and I arrange it poorly! But you coached us on what to remove, what to keep, how to display, how to clean, etc. The result made us regret having to sell such a beautiful home!! We were stunned! You also saved us hundreds of dollars in unnecessary work on repairs and improvements we thought were needed. You knew exactly what was needed and what wasn't! We ultimately got the price we hoped for by effort only -no additional expense! ...and the prospective buyers agreed! We received so many nice compliments on the staging of our home. ...and we could sure see the difference proper staging makes in the homes we evaluated for our next purchase! Your marketing of our home was most thorough! Your use of flyers brochures and the web was great, but I was most impressed by your subtle and effective listing in the MLS. You knew what information to include, where to place it and how to word it to create a need in the realtors and buyers to see and ask. It worked like a charm. I even found one of the beautiful brochures in a local restaurant left there by someone in the magazine rack where others could see it! It worked so very well! You were most patient in your coaching at every phase! We learned so much about asking prices, counter offers, choosing one offer over another, how to counter offer, and how to close. Thank you again for allowing us to sell our home at the price we had only dreamed of! We missed not having you as our realtor for our new home search here in Oregon!! If you can use this letter to help other potential sellers or buyers choose a realtor, please do. Normally, my recommendation letters are limited to droll compliments such as "nice to animals" or "doesn't eat much", but you and your team earned every praise I list above... Thank you so much! read more
