"Hi Mark,
I just wanted to send you a note thanking you for all your help with my recent real estate purchase. You were very helpful in making the whole process as quick, easy, and painless as possible. As a first time home buyer I did not know what to expect. I appreciate the fact that you were open to any questions I had and I felt comfortable asking them. Your knowledge of the area was looking at was excellent (Cambridge, Somerville, Arlington, and Watertown). Having only lived in the area for a few years, I was glad you were able to point out benefits of each location such as restaurants, T access, etc. These things were very important to me when considering what property to purchase. I also appreciate you always getting back to me in a timely matter via email or phone and being on time and organized for all my tours. Overall, a great experience. I love my new place and fel confident it was a great investment. I will keep you at the top of my list for any of my future real estate needs.

"Dear Mark:
It was a pleasure working with you in purchasing my first home. You spect countless hours researching areas and homes that were acceptable to our needs and desires. Your professionalism and support during this time was essential in keeping our apprehensions at bay. It was nice to see somebody like yourself so interested in making sure that we found the perfect house for us. Even though we were not the easiest of buyers to accomodate, you made every viewing and request that we had seem effortless.

"Dear Mark,
Kind sincere, honest, industrious, communicative, accessible, patient... words that describe you, Mark Madden, as well as a good realtor. Last but not least, you also have a great sense of humor and are relaxed enough to crack a joke to help your client feel comfortable and smile. You helped me to have fun during a stressful process; having fun is important to me.

"Dear Mark:
It gives me pleasure to write you this letter of thanks and commendation for the hard work and high level of sophistication you showed in representing me during 2007 in the sale of my property at 8 Avon Road in Watertown.
I originally chose you to represent me because I was impressed with your effort to win me as a client. Once I signed on with your office, I was consistently impressed with your tenacity and attention to detail. As we both know, 2007 was a tough time to put a house on the market and sell it at a good price. You made every effort to navigate a slow and difficult market.
From my perspective, everything about the sale of the house went smoothly. From the time I signed on with your office through the closing, you gave me good advice and took care of details that would have taken me much time to accomplish. Throughout the months you worked on my behalf you were consistently good-humored, which I greatly appreciated.
I know you will be a great success in your profession.
-Phil R."
