This letter of appreciation is for Michael G. May, a man dedicated to excellence in his profession.  His diligence, commitment, and real estate knowledge helped our family.

When we arrived at Fort Lee housing was not available on post.  Our real estate agent at the time was not Michael May.  That agent helped us buy our house and convinced us that we were getting a good deal.  Unfortunately, our agent had not done a market analysis.  This resulted in a price that was too expensive for the value of the house at that time.

We told that agent that we would be selling the house in three years.  That agent did not give us a three-year projection but did promise that selling the house would be quick and easy when the time came.  We were assured that we would do well.

The time came to sell and we called on that agent.  Once again, we were not given a written market analysis.  We set an unrealistic price and six months passed without selling.

We decided not to renew with that agent.  We tired to sell it ourselves.  With little market knowledge, we spend several frustrating months and got nowhere.

Michael May sent letters to us that provided excellent ideas on how to sell houses.  He offered his services in a non-threatening, non-manipulative way.  These professional letters convinced us to ask him to sell our house for us.  At least ten other Realtors approached us offering to be our agent but we chose Michael May.  He was by far the superior choice.  He proved that this was our best decision.

Michael provided a computerized market analysis, immediately brought prospective buyers to view the house, kept us informed at all times, and considered our family needs.  Best of all, he sold our house quickly at the price we asked.

We moved to Texas in July.  We were not in Virginia while Michael showed the house.  He literally sold it without us in the area!

He knew the value of our family staying together.  While we were in Texas, he kept in close contact and closed the sale of the house.  He called after the closing to inform us that it was final and that all documents we needed were in the mail.

Michael has that rare ingredient that marks the successful person; he goes the distance to meet the needs of the client.  Michael has a saying, "All You Need to Know about Real Estate is ... Michael May" My family and I agree.  We strongly encourage you to call Michael May if you want a professional agent who truly cares about you.
