You were a knowledgeable realtor and part counselor and became a friend very quickly. You were honest and yet tactful in suggesting a selling price as well as when it was time to reduce or try another approach. Your staging and lending your "personal effects" were above and beyond as well as the many hang-in theres!! I appreciate your complimenting me on how I was helping as I really was trying to do what needed to be done. You remained positive with any curve that came our way and never showed signs of giving up -- even when I was ready to. Maureen was also always friendly, kind and helpful. Thank you two for the excitment and support. Good luck to you and as you know I have recommended you far and wide already!!! Thank you again."
