Dear Chris Ann:

Just a quick note to let you know how much we appreciate everything you have done for us.  We had such a blast with you and can't imagine doing all of this with any other Realtor.

Chris Ann was not only superb in helping us locate the house we wanted, but she was a dilligent worker prior to close.

Chris Ann was referred to me by a friend.  My boyfriend and I, at the time, were looking at anything as cheap as possible, not knowing anything about real estate.  She took the time to explain the difference of foreclosures, short sales, and regular sales.  She worked hard at our first contract on a short sale condo that fell through.  Never discouraged, Chris Ann took the time to take a step back, let us re-evaluate our needs and continue forward.

She obviously was a tremendous help to us in the market, but moreover-EXCELLENT in her customer service.  She was always willing to bend over backwards by meeting us anywhere, anytime, and answered every single question we had (and believe me-we had plenty)!

We have been very happy in our new home and can't ever forget that Chris Ann was the one who got us here.  We have her "sold" postcard she gave us on our refrigerator and will not take it down.  It makes us proud to own a home and we owe a tremendous amount of thanks to Chris Ann for giving us that feeling.  That's something we can never repay her for.

She's one in a million!  I can't say enough about her.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Hessberg & Richard Hirst

Dear Chris Ann:

Thank you for all your help in my home search and purchase.  Working with you was definitely enjoyable.  You are very patient, kind, informative and pleasant.

Every time we went out to look at homes, you were prepared.  You had done your homework, making what could have been an overwhelming process,easy.

You are extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about your job. You better believe that I will be calling you when I am ready to sell my new home and move up to another.  And I will not hesitate to send my family and friends to you, as I know they will have an outstanding agent working for them

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Sincerely,

J.D. Gheen

Dear Chris Ann Cleland,

Thank you so much for helping us find our first home!  When we moved to Northern Virginia we thought that we would never be able to own a home.  With your help, our dream of homeownership has come true.  Some of my co-workers who graduated from college with me last year always ask, "How were you able to buy a house in less than a year of graduating from college?"  My answer is, "I have an excellent real estate agent."  You have grown from just our real estate agent to our friend.  For that, we are grateful.

Thank you,

Dear Chris Ann,

I want to take a moment to thank you for all that you have done.  I was at a point that I felt I wouldn't sell my house.  I had been through several real estate agents and I wasn't getting even one bite on my house.  Then you came along with your expertise, creativity and consistent positive attitude.  I started to hope again.  You got people to notice and become interested in my house.  Eventually it sold and now is becoming a home again.

I have to also thank you for your patience.  My personal life was a big part of why I had to put my house on the market.  Unfortunately, at times you were in the middle.  Your mediation skills were put to good use and you went above and beyond your real estate agent role.

I can't thank you enough for what you did. 

Sincerely,

Shannon Russo

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is to acknowledge my complete satisfaction with the services that Ms. Chris Ann Cleland has provided as my Realtor in the purchase of my new home.  Ms. Cleland provided current and accurate information that aided in the decision making process of selecting my new home; she was able to supply alternate options when it came to hiring a mortgage lender that saved me a whole percentage point on my loan.

She is hard working, willing to go the extra mile for her clients, and she will do everything she can to help you have a non-traumatic, minimal stress settlement.  She does her homework, she does not wait until the last minutes, and you have all the information as it is occuring in the process.  For a first-time homebuyer, this has proven to be an invaluable asset.

I would highly recommend Ms. Cleland for any of your real estate needs.

Most Sincerely,

Nichole Charlton

Dear Chris Ann,

We wanted to thank you for all the time and effort you put into helping us find our home.  As first-time buyers we were quite unsure of ourselves, as we ventured into the unknown, but you made the process so much easier.

It was especially important to us that we not feel pressured into making a commitment we were not ready for or comfortable with.  Although you understood the necessity to act fast in this crazy market, you also understood the enormity of the decision that we had to make and you respected our hesitation and our excitement.

We were lucky to find you and will keep you mind should our friends or family require a realtor in the future.  We will be calling you in a few years when the time comes to sell our "starter" home and move on up!

All the best,

Karen & Pernell Disney

Dear Chris Ann,

THANK YOU!!!!  You made this move so much easier than we ever expected it to be.  From selling our home within three days, to finding packers for our truck (at the last minute), playing "Catopoly" with our kids, to all the other little details done behind the scenes that made this move go so smoothly.  THANK YOU again and again.

Your professionalism, attention to detail, understanding of the stress of moving, and your willingness to go the  extra steps are the reasons that you are so much more to us than the realtor who sold our house.

You are the perfect person for home sales and we expect to see you as number one in your area in no time at all. 

Sincerely,

Carolyn Dikranis & Dona Leith
