Dear Gary and Greg,

As clients we would like to thank you for the outstanding professionalism you demonstrated in our recent real estate transaction.  We truly appreciate the attention to detail, organization, and efficiency with which you handled everything.  It was a very relaxing experience for us.  As this was an out of country transaction, it was reassuring to know we had someone acting as our advocate.  You have gone beyond what is required of real estate agents!!! Thank you so much.  We know that for any future real estate transactions (and we hope there will be more), we will be looking for you to help again.  Please feel free to provide clients with our email or phone number as a reference.

Sincerely,

Doug Adlem and Sandra Mason
