DEAR DON AND ELAINE GARY AND I WANT TO THANK BOTH OF YOU FOR THE TIME AND INCREDIBLE EFFORT YOU PUT IN FOR OUR BENEFIT. THIS IS A RATHER LONG STORY AS IT BEGINS OVER THREE YEARS AGO WHEN WE DROVE PAST A HOUSE FOR SALE IN JASPER HILL. YOU WERE THE REALTOR ON THE SIGN AND MET US IMMEDIATELY TO SHOW THE HOUSE. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL THE VIEW WAS SPECTACULAR AND WE WANTED IT. UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE WE FELT OBLIGATED TO USE THE REALTOR WE WERE USING PRIOR TO THIS HOUSE, WE HAD TO GO THROUGH HER. SHE MISLED US AND WE LOST THAT HOUSE. WE WERE DEVASTATED AND FIRED HER AS OUR REALTOR. YOU WERE SO KIND AND KEPT YOUR EYE OPEN FOR OTHER HOMES IN THIS AREA WITH A VIEW AS GOOD AS THAT ONE. THREE YEARS LATER, OUT OF THE BLUE, YOU CALLED US WITH TWO HOUSES THAT MET THE CRITERIA WE STATED EARLIER. WE LOOKED AT THE SECOND HOME AND IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. YOU HELPED US WITH THE OFFER AND EXPLAINED THE PROCESS. WITHIN HOURS, THE OFFER WAS ACCEPTED AND THE HOME WAS OURS. YOU LINED UP THE FINANCIER, JEFF BENEFIEL, WHO WAS FABULOUS, AS WELL AS THE INSPECTOR WHO WAS FABULOUS. YOU HELPED US PUT OUR HOUSE ON THE MARKET, GIVING US ADVICE AS TO HOW TO MAKE IT SELLABLE. WITHIN ONE MONTH WE SOLD! ALTHOUGH WE DIDN'T HAVE A CONTINGENCY, IT WAS REALLY NICE TO HAVE THE BURDEN OF TWO MORTGAGES LIFTED. YOU LED US TO ESCROW FORUM AND JESSIE WHO IS SO COMPETENT AND QUICK. I WOULD REFER HER TO ANYONE WITH ENTHUSIASM. YOU TWO ARE A TOP-NOTCH REAL ESTATE TEAM. I PARTICULARLY LIKE THAT YOU BALANCE EACH OTHER SO WELL. IF ELAINE DIDN'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO A QUESTION, DON DID AND VICE VERSA. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR FINDING OUR DREAM AND HELPING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. SINCERELY,
