Hi Tom and Michelle,

Don't panic over the size of this letter.  I know it's lengthy but all the information here is vital to assist you in finding your home.  I just got off the phone with Monika, I had to thank her for referring you to me. 

You can't imagine the honor I feel when someone trusts me with their friends or family.  I just had to let her know!   Also, I know you want her involved and Monika and I discussed it and I will contact her at least once a week to keep her well-informed. That way you know she is with us every step of the way. 

Ormond Beach, Florida is a great place to live and raise a family.  I know you requested information of schools that are walking distance to you new home.  I am happy to provide this information but would like to discuss this further with you.  The public school system does offer transportation and you may want to consider this as an option.  

When working with buyers I have found that schools are an issue when it comes to making a decision on a home.  The link below will give you school information that may be helpful in making a good sound decision.

  Please visit the following links as they will be of interest to you.

As far as activities, the weather is beautiful year round. 40 miles of beautiful beaches, a true golfer's paradise, Nascar, World's largest bike events, Fishing, Surfing, enjoy the London Symphony or a museum.

Here are a few additional tips to help you get started in the buying process.

  • Get approved for a mortgage
  • Make sure you are comfortable with your monthly payment.
  • Please discuss at length schools
  • View the latest listings on the market in your daily e-mail and provide Honest feedback

I would like to confirm that you require the following

  • walking distance to schools
  • 4 Bedroom 2 Bath
  • 1200 to 2400 Square Feet
  • 2 Car Garage 

After searching the multiple listing service here are three properties I think will fit your criteria.

Midori - Very nice letter. I really think the communication with the referring agent is a very stong point. This has to be a point of comfort for the client. Also, like those listings, especially the first one!
