I wanted to send a few words of gratitude your way.
It was great to have you as our agent.
You handled all the details

I especially liked the way you related to dad and mom.
You were very clear and concise in your explanations and
understanding of their sensitivities in the selling of their home of 25 years.
We are all glad of the way you promoted the home, the setting up for
the open houses, and the great knowledge of the real estate market.
You were always available.
Good luck in the coming years!”– Joan Kelly

Douglas helped me prepare my home for sale and was in contact with me constantly to see how I was doing throughout the entire process.

He is such a professional, I am finding it hard to believe he has only been doing this for a couple of years. I had heard about Douglas from friends who had said he was very good, and I have been referring him to my friends and family ever since. It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Douglas.
Best regards,”– Kim C.
