" I'm so thrilled to be getting my new place today. Now that we're through the process of picking out a place, making my offer, selling off my exsisting home, and making it all happen in a tight time frame, I want to take a moment to thank you for your excellent service. Specifically, I really appreciated:

- The way you really listened and understood just what I was looking for. You were able to match me up with the perfect home so quickly.

- How you executed the tight time frames required for me to sell my place and buy the new one. This includes the excellent choices you made of vendors for inspections, appraisals, etc. who performed in such a timely fashion. In short, you managed the process perfectly.

-Your constant follow-up with all parties involved. I don't think I ever asked you anything that you were not already on top of. Rather amazing, really.

-Besides which, I personally enjoyed the experience thoroughly. This is not my first move; I've owned real estate in 6 states. So I do not give these compliments lightly.

Overall, you have my apprecaition for a very smooth, painless buying experience."
