Today I received an email from a client I worked that closed on a beautiful home in McGinnis Reserve two weeks ago - about two weeks before that we closed on their home in Creekside Estates in Forsyth County.  I must say when I received this it made me feel very good - today's market is still a tough market - but there are people still out there buying and selling homes.  Here is what Kevin emailed me.

"John,

We have had a busy week, all the box's are emptied, everything is put up and was just the weekend.  We will finish hanging the last pictures tonight.  But that's not what this email is for. Donna and I want to again thank you for all your time, effort and hard work. Your attention to detail and keeping us on track with reality checks made this the best move we have had. You are in every sense of the word a professional, you took our phone calls and allowed us to take you away from your family after hours and on weekends for that I can only offer words of thanks, but those words come with the utmost sincerity.

Although we are at the end of our project, your work and professionalism will carry on with us, we will, without hesitation give your name and number to all we meet who are looking for a home. Again I can't thank you enough for helping us get home  

Thanks

Kevin Opela"

Kevin and Donna's home sold in 42 days, we listed it at 439K and it sold for 430 K (all of this is public knowledge).  Why did there home sale while others sit on the market?  The reason is Kevin and Donna realized they were engaged in a price war and a beauty contest - additionally, they realized however much their house declined in value over the past year they would pick that up when they purchased their next home, and they did.  That was a great transaction and I appreciated Donna referring a co-worker to me.

If you are interviewing agents for the job of helping you sell your home, or find you next one, call me - I would like to interview for the job of being your Realtor.
