Harvey, Christina & Administrative Staff:
I wanted to write this letter now that I have had some time to reflect on the sale of our property on Pine Leaf. I don’t think I had told you at the beginning of our effort to sell our home, that I believed that I did not need a Realtor to help me find a buyer and successfully negotiate a sale of the property. How wrong I was. I entered the listing with reluctance, not on your abilities, but with my over confidence in my own ability to sell a property that I thought would sell itself. I was like so many sellers that wanted to avoid what I thought was an unwanted cost.
I knew it was a difficult time to sell a home with so many bank owned properties on the market. Your presentation convinced me that without the professional support of a trained and experience Realtor, that my chances in selling this property would be slim. Your detailed market analysis and step approach is what really convinced me that I had to have a professional team if I wanted to be successful. The first mistake I would have made would have been in establishing a realistic selling price. The second would have been the lack of exposure of the property to the market. I believed that its location and great curb appeal would be sufficient to find a ready and qualified buyer and I did not need the expansive exposure of the MLS and individual marketing that you provided.
It was your sensitivity and market awareness that allowed the selling price to be set at a level that brought multiple offers within a very short period of time.
The real strength of your team approach was in the process of the sale once we had received the several offers. There were so many pitfalls during this period that I know I would not have been able to complete the sale on my own. Your experience in overcoming objections on both sides of the transaction made the cost of the sale worth every penny. There was a period that I thought the sale would never be closed; your persuasive and positive approach with working with the buyer’s agent made the sale a reality. Key to the entire transaction was the communication that flowed on a daily basis. I never wondered how the process was proceeding; I received timely updates and suggestions that made the decisions easy and effective. The little extras that you and your staff performed were the “icing on the cake”.
Thank you for a job well done. I would not hesitate to recommend you and your Team to any potential buyer or seller.
