Buying or selling a home is a very important event that can lead to stress as well as great happiness. You need a professional, experienced agent to represent your interests. I have been in the real estate business as an investor or as an agent for over 20 years. I personally invest in residential homes that need updating and modernizing, and am familiar with the whole process of purchasing, financing, and selling real estate. Let my many years of experience help you make smart real estate decisions. I would be pleased to have the opportunity to assist you in finding the perfect house for your needs or to sell your present house. Your first big decision is to select the right real estate agent to represent your interests.

I am not like every other agent! I'm not so big that you get lost in the shuffle. You will enjoy my personal, friendly, non-pressured approach.

I especially enjoy seeing the joy on the faces of First Time Homebuyers when the seller turns over the keys to them at the closing table. First time buyers often need a lot of support and guidance on their way to home ownership. I use my many years of experience to walk them through all the steps to home ownership and make the journey enjoyable. It is very satisfying to help make their dreams come true.

As a seasoned investor who has bought, rehabbed, and sold many investment houses, I feel especially qualified to work with investors in finding and purchasing houses to be used as rents or flip investments. There are many techniques that can be successfully used to determine if a property is right for investment and I willingly share that expertise with my clients. i bring my experience from rehabbing my own houses to help you make good decisions as to the quality of a house and the potential of the investment.

Let my many years of experience go to work for you to make the process smooth and enjoyable.

Wanted to let you know we are settling in quite well and you wouldn't recognize the house from the last time you were here, almost all the boxes are gone. We wanted to say "thank you" for everything you did for us to make this dream come true of having our own house through your hard work and the kindness you shared with us.
Thanks again,
Wayne, Robin, Jessica & Wayne Jr. D.

The purpose of this letter is to ensure you are aware of the commendable service I recently received from your Real Estate Agent, Mr. Robert Burkhard...As you know, today's market favors the seller and on three occasions, we placed our "bid" as soon as the property hit the MLS listing, only to be disappointed and "outbid". Mr. Burkhard continued to look for me during my work and found the perfect home and neighborhood for me to raise my children...We moved in our home in less than 20 days, and I wanted to commend Mr. Burkhard on his understanding and patience with my circumstance. I have provided his name to many of my friends and am confident he would provide the same service to anyone. Please recognize Mr. Burkhard for his fine ethics and talented sales ability. I would continue to have him as my agent as my children and I progress from "STEP II" (townhouse) to "STEP III" (the big home we once had).

We would like to express our greatest appreciation to Bob Burkhard, our salesperson. Bob did an outstanding job, and was so very knowledgeable and helpful. In the future, we are planning on using Bob for all of our real estate purchases, and we highly recommend him to all of our friends and family. As this was our first home, Bob helped us through every step of the process. He made himself available to us 24 hrs/ day, 7days/week. He kept us informed constantly, and returned our calls immediately...

Thanks, Amy Jeff T., Columbia, Maryland

Bob,

You have truly been a bridge over troubled waters! I so appreciate all of the extras and not so extras you've done to make this sale. May the peace of the Lord continue to embrace you and I do pray that the favor of the Lord will be with you in all that you do. You are certainly a caring, compassionate, and uncompromising Realtor. I really feel cared for and valued. I have sold 3 houses before this and have never been so satisfied and not felt like a number in line. May the Joy of the Lord continue to be your strength and you find favor with God and Man.

Sincerely,
Bettye M., Columbia, Maryland
