Just a note to thank you for the great work you did in the sale of my home in Los Altos Hills. From the beginning you came prepared, you laid out the complete marketing program, you got back to me with "real" comparison properties, and you showed me one of the properties so I could see for myself. You were right on in pricing where others missed the mark. You really scrambled to get my property on the market in a very short amount of time. Your marketing brochures and virtual tours were excellent and you were great at following up with agents and individuals who viewed the property. Most importantly, you saw what I saw in the property and were able to represent that to others.
I enjoyed working with you and would gladly refer you to anone I know that is thinking about selling or buying. Please feel free to use me as a reference in the future.
