Dear Buddy,

Please accept my apology for not writing sooner to formally thank you for the successful closing on our home in Hollis this summer. The sale could not have been in better hands. The best real estate decision we made was to use you; you deserve the credit for the rest of the story.

Only an extraordinary Realtor could have orchestrated such success in lieu of all the obstacles and surprises that potential buyers threw our way. Who could have predicted that a buyer would drop out within 24 hours of closing or that you would be able to pull together a closing with another backup buyer less than two weeks later! This success reflects your tenacious commitment to your client.

It continues to amaze us that in this year's struggling real estate market we were actually able to sell our home for five percent more than the listing price recommended by two other realtors we considered. Your research analysis to determine a listing price was exhaustive as evidenced in your initial presentation to us and ultimately proved to be an accurate reading of the market. You advised on ways we could enhance the value of our home, and we know that following your advice, whether it was a fresh coat of paint, staging, or cleaning out clutter, made our home more attractive and pleasing to potential buyers.

Beyond a keen understanding of the market, you are a man of integrity. We knew we would be represented with honor and honesty. You agreed that the best policy is to be forthright in disclosure; sharing ethical values is another reason we knew you were the right realtor for us.

We have gained a new respect for the real estate profession through our experience with you. You are the hardest working realtor we have ever had the privilege to work with. Your diligence, perseverance, and attention to detail were evident on a daily basis. You were patient with us, wisely advised us when ever we had a question, but never dictated to us what we should or should not do. We appreciated the respect you afforded us. Clearly we put our trust in the right realtor.

I wish I could thank you in a big way, such as having you represent us in the sale of another property, but for now this letter will have to suffice. We will always be grateful to have had such expertise and guidance from such a kind gentleman.

With best regards,

Over the course of buying and selling many many residential properties, we knew that enlisting the help of a successful, professional real estate broker was essential to a successful sale.The Monadnock region can be a tough market, and we have seen properties languish on the market for many seasons and often more than one year.After talking with many people, there was consensus in our market and price point, and that was Buddy.Here is what Buddy did:-He responded very quickly to our inquiry. We found that this is Buddy's MO: he is always responsive.-He came out to talk to us about listing and selling our house. Buddy was very professional and walked us through the process as he saw it. This is also Buddy's MO: He communicates well- he gets the big picture and he gets the small details. Throughout our engagement, Buddy checked in just the right amount- he clearly understood what we wanted regarding communication and he was consistent in his checking in and updating us.-While Buddy is super responsive, he doesn't oversell or use pressure. He is the kind of guy who wants to make sure that there is a good fit. In our case, he told us what we could expect from him and from the process. This is exactly what we got. No surprises. Well, one surprise, but I'll save that for the end.-Buddy doesn't make promises that he cant deliver on. He does not set up false expectations. He did a very professional market survey, not only educating himself on our property and our micro market, but he was also educating us. We worked out a pricing strategy and because he did this from a deep market survey, we felt really comfortable with the pricing strategy.-We got the impression that Buddy would advocate for us, while at the same time treating any potential buyer with respect and consideration. This is exactly what we wanted: a broker who would be honest and ethical. Buddy was honest and ethical throughout from start to finish.-I could go on in detail about the ways Buddy helped to facilitate our sale: how he suggested we price and present the house; how to market; what improvements we should make, etc etc.-When offers came in on the house, Buddy calmly and professionally helped us to negotiate the successful sale of our property. No drama, no histrionics.Our one surprise? A wonderful surprise. We had an excellent offer, a drama free sale, all within a timeframe far far more quickly than we ever could have expected.Kudos to Buddy. We recommend him with complete confidence.Richard MannPrinciple/ Exec. VP.Red River Company, Inc.
