Dear Laurie, We cannot begin to express our deep appreciation and gratitude for all that you did both in helping us purchase our first home and then in helping us sell it once we outgrew it. Your very high level of expertise, knowledge and professionalism were why we wanted to work with you; but, we were also continually grateful for your warmth and heartfelt friendliness during the entire process. We are firmly convinced that we got the best representation from the initial listings to the final closings because we were working with you. You were right there every step of the way helping us. From finding the right house to being present at the inspection with valuable advice….from answering endless questions to making sure that all the necessary paperwork was completed and all tasks done prior to closing -- your advice was absolutely essential and was extremely helpful. You literally held our hand through the entire process and we are very grateful. Your years of experience in real estate gives you a high level of professionalism, knowledge and expertise necessary to get the job done; as well as having a high level of integrity and strong values making you very honorable and trustworthy. Add to that your charming, gracious and charitable personality and that is a winning combination. We would highly recommend you to anyone! Thank you again for all of your guidance and the many little extras that you provided! Sincerely, Paul & Bobbie Jo Duke --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Laurie, Thanks for a job well done. You heard our needs and concerns and created an effective marketing plan for our home. We were pleased with the service you provided from the initial listing to the final closing. Thanks again for all your hard work. You can definitely count on us to refer your services to our friends. Sincerely, Jim and Marilyn Layman --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Laurie, Thank you for making the purchase of our first home a great one! Our family had been living in an apartment for seven years. We certainly had outgrown it! We wanted a backyard for our son to play in and my husband wanted a garage to do work on his vehicles. We were not certain if it was the right time to buy – when we found the house we wanted you were there every step of the way to comfort our worries. We had no idea as to what we had to do to make the transition from renting to owning. You took care of that. The endless questions we had were handled in a personable & professional manner. You were always up front & straight forward. That was exactly what we needed. You certainly are an asset in your field of work. You hear so of so many terrible stories on the selling and buying of homes. We did not have that. Again, your levels of experience, your professionalism, your charming and witty personality, and your concerns for us, the client, make you truly valuable. I do and would recommend you to any friend or anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. If in the future we do sell our house, you will be the one person to call. Thank you! Julie, William and Drew Luck --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 20, 2009 Carlos Lauranzon Carlos & Company Realty, Inc 8250 B Jupiter Drive Mechanicsville, VA 23116 Dear Mr. Lauranzon: Greg and I wanted to take the time to write you a letter of sincere appreciation for your realtor, Laurie Fisher. From the beginning, Laurie exemplified patience, enthusiasm, and the highest level of knowledge regarding the home buying process. As new home buyers, we often needed things explained to us in detail and often times more than once! Laurie never made us feel like we were bothering her with even the very basic of questions. Before we put a contract on our home, Greg and I were having trouble deciding which house we liked the best. Laurie, after already spending a Saturday with us, willingly agreed to go see more houses with us the very next day. It was that trip on Sunday afternoon that helped Greg and I finally decide on the house that we would eventually buy. It was this kind of enthusiasm and approachability that made Greg and me very comfortable in working with her. Although we were incredibly excited to close on our home this week, we were saddened that we wouldn’t be seeing and hearing from Laurie as often. Laurie has become a dear friend of ours and we are thankful to have met such a wonderful member of our new community. In the future, we will certainly recommend her to our friends looking to buy or sell a house because we cannot imagine a better person to work with. Most Sincerely, Loftan and Greg Miller |
