Congratulations on another success! It's always so refreshing to hear what buyers and sellers have to say about the impact we had adn how they feel about what we did for them. It REALLY is about people's lives, not just a sale or purchase of a product. One can only truly understand what our actions mean to others when we ourselves have walked in those shoes. It is not a small thing.

Kathy, with each sale I send a donation to Children's Miracle Network and the Komen Foundation.

Marti, thank you for the feature in the group.

Thanks, Rebecca, I have started that process.

Joan, yes they are. A relative of this family has already worked with me as well.

Myrl, the clients that are local see what get's done and seldom comment. When they are away and they call with a concern and you can tell them that you already addressed it, you can sense their relief.

Evelyn, they spots I didn't realized they noticed.

Thanks, Jeff, we have the responsibility to help them protect their investment and as professionals we should do what we can to help.

Tammie, I wish I could work the order here on AR.

Pete, it means a lot that a client would take the time once all is done to let us know how we served them.

Gail, it takes such little extra effort to make this kind of impression on a client.

Joe, it is a nice feeling that I know you have felt as well.

Roger, this is the Gold standard for testimonials. Thanks for stopping

Debbie, this did make me feel good and I had to read it a couple of times to better appreciate it. All the time remembering what had to be done with the last sale.

Thanks Andy, we all do what we can and some times it does get that special notice.

Thanks, Judith, yes I do feel proud, and this will have an affect on my next client to make sure I am consistent.

Stacy Ann, thanks and thanks for taking the time
