"Their service was above and beyond what I ever could have imagined. They were there for us even when it must have been entirely inconvenient. 'No' and 'we can't' are not in their vocabulary."

Thank you for spending the morning with me last Friday. I really enjoyed our time together. We saw some wonderful areas of Roanoke. I felt like you really understood what Chip and I were looking for in a community. We will be in touch closer to making our final decision. C & K. O., M.D.

Over the holiday season of "06" we traveled to Roanoke, VA to look at properties for sale. Though it was a rushed and hectic season, our realtor devoted extraordinary time, patience, material, thoughtfulness and insight to us. We have dealt with many wonderful realtors throughout Florida and New York. Janie Meggers topped our expectations. She does not take her duties nor tasks lightly. The woman is amazing. The behind the scenes work and preparations to educate and help the two of us out- of- towners was nothing but phenomenal. Her comprehensive knowledge and willingness to guide far exceeded our expectations. She also took the time to explain things so that we as lay persons could understand them. Janie Meggers certainly made our search easy. Our stay in Roanoke was enriched by her professional courtesy, training, and knowledge.

Sincerely,

The Michaels

While searching for a home in Roanoke, VA for my relocation from California, I made a random phone call to Prudential Realty and was connected to a friendly, enthusiastic woman--Janie Robinson Meggers. This was just the beginning of a positive relationship. Janie arranged to show me many properties during my visit to Roanoke. Several weeks later, when a desirable property came on the market, Janie was my ears and eyes. I actually purchased the property sight unseen because of Janie's personal touch and attention to detail--we used pictures and a floor plan while Janie was in the home on the phone with me. When I actually saw the property I was delighted. The transition between CA and VA has been eased by Janie's professionalism and attention to detail but her overall positive, helpful, and gracious attitude. M.A.E.

This letter of reference is in regard to Janie Robinson Meggers of Prudential Radford Realtors in Roanoke, Virginia. Janie recently worked with our family in conjunction with a potential move to Roanoke.

Our family had never visited the area previously, and we were quite a challenge! I say that because Janie spent a great deal of time with us while we were in Roanoke and was very flexible in responding to changes in our schedule. She was working with a physician, a spouse, two young children, and an 84 year old grandmother who has difficulty walking and getting into and out of vehicles. Not only did Janie find us a house we loved (the first house we saw), but she was a invaluable resource about the area and what it has to offer. She recommended senior living options for Grandma, gave us information on the Roanoke College Children's Choir (which my little boy was accepted into), gave us information on local schools (both public and private), and acquainted us with preschool choices and resources for my 3 year old. She did all of this with a great deal of knowledge, patience, kindness, and concern.

We were given a tour of the city, taken to Smith Mountain Lake, saw Roanoke from the top of Mill Mountain, learned about the health club facilities and local grocery stores and coops, saw worship options for our family and visited several excellent restaurants. In short, we saw everything that was important to all of us and consequently, fell in love with Roanoke and with Janie.

My background is in Human Resource management, and I can say without a doubt, that Janie has wonderful interpersonal skills. Of course, in her former life she was a teacher as well as a social worker. Both of these careers have given her wonderful qualities to help families and individuals in relocation decisions. She listens very well and shows genuine empathy and concern. I never felt pressured by Janie in any way; I always felt she had our families' best interest at heart.

Those interpersonal qualities, combined with her knowledge of the area, give her a unique ability to make families feel comfortable and cared about. With Janie, it is genuine; there is absolutely nothing phony about her. I would trust her in any circumstance that comes to mind. She is thorough, smart, and perceptive and the best realtor that I have ever dealt with. I also thought she might help tutor my son if he needed help in math! I'm sure she is a great teacher.

Best regards, R. Young
