A Note Worth Framing: A Charlotte Real Estate Testimonial
Every now and then, something lands in my mailbox that makes me stop, smile, and remember exactly why I love what I do. That happened recently when I opened an envelope at the office and found a handwritten testimonial from one of my favorite clients.
Now, I’ll admit—I’m not the best at asking for testimonials. It’s one of those things that always seems to get lost in the shuffle once the closing papers are signed and the moving trucks roll away. Fortunately, my admin had followed up and I loved this response that truly made my day.
This one came from Andy, an executive relocating out of Charlotte, referred to me by another client. He’d tried several times to post a review on Google but, as many of you know, the process isn’t always straightforward if you don’t have a Google account. After a few failed attempts, I finally told him not to worry about it. What mattered most was that he was happy with his experience.
To my surprise, he went the extra mile anyway—answering my admin’s request for a testimonial and sending it directly to the owner at my office!
The owner left the survey in my mailbox for me, including her own handwritten note—a gesture that meant just as much. It’s easy to get caught up in the fast pace of real estate, but moments like this remind me that relationships—not transactions—are the true reward.
So, to Andy: thank you. It was such an honor and a pleasure helping you get your Charlotte home SOLD. I’m already looking forward to welcoming you back when you return one day.
At the end of the day, a testimonial isn’t just feedback—it’s a reminder that integrity, communication and genuine care still make all the difference in real estate. And that’s exactly why I keep doing what I love.
If you’ve worked with me and would like to share your experience, I’d love to hear from you—it truly means the world!
This is my WEEK 1 challenge post for November's Thankfulness Challenge.
