Accolades


Laura,
We honestly don't know where to begin and how to thank you for all you did for us.
We were first very impressed with your professionalism, knowledge of your job and genuine warmth. Then we noticed how many ways and how many times you kept in touch with us. Even beautiful Christmas e-cards (my goodness!) You never stretched the truth and were always honest with us regarding the market situation. However in it all you helped us stay positive and hopeful. We quickly began to feel that we were in very capable hands.
But what came as a complete surprise was out of the professional relationship we felt like we have gained a friend, someone with whom we could laugh, talk, and at times even complain about the housing market.
Through it all, we always knew that you were working for us as well as all of your other clients. We never felt slighted. Even after we had a contract you continued to think about us by providing pointers for us as potential buyers. And the restaurant gift cards were icing on the cake - such a thoughtful gesture!
As we said in the beginning - thank you for many hours of your time, keeping in contact, fun times, and finally selling our home. We were told you were the best and we agree 100%!
Best of everything in the future and we would love to keep in touch.
Gratefully yours,
Bob and Nancy
Laura,

Just a note to say our agent Laura Higgins is one wonderful Realtor and has gone above her duty for us. Our former agent wasn't working at all for over a year. Our gratitude to Laura and company is much appreciated.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern,
The real estate industry is a stressful way to make a living, especailly when it comes to the tedious, always challenging, and generally frustrating process that accompanies the successful acquisition of land for medium sized residential communities.
But, over the course of time, it gives you considerable insight into the Realtor and other professionals you work with. Specifically, how they work under pressure, and whether or not they can maintain their focus, professionalism, and sense of humor, while making every attempt to accomodate the needs of their clients.
So, for me, writing this letter on behalf of Laura Higgins of Re/Max Realty Plus is a very easy task.
Laura has been the Realtor of Green Avon Park's initial two (2 land acquistions in Highlands County, Florida. Her awareness of land and product availability, pricing, and viability, combined with her significant involvement in community affairs, both professionally and personally, have helped Laura achieve considerable success and standing in the Highlands County Real Estate arena.
Laura is strong in her opinions and does scrupulous research to ensure that she makes fully informed recommendations to her clients. She responds to all requests (which in my case, can be considerable), promptly, communicates in a clear and straight-forward manner, and will take whatever time is necessary to resolve a problem. Laura's only concern is doing the job well, amd making sure that every option and detail on behalf of her client is considered.
Think I think of Laura? You bet! Not because she's a great person. And not becuase she's become a valued friend. But because she's good, incredibly good at her job! A professional in every sense of the word.
