"Hello Connie & Don

I wanted to drop you a note to say thanks again. Your positive efforts and dedication to your profession surely must pay off for you two on a regular basis. I will tell you honestly that in today’s market, I did not have much hope that you were going to sell my property at all…much less within 60 days. I am impressed with your “unsurpassed services” which is a very good description of your commitment to your work."

Keep up the great work

"We wanted to take this time to say "Thank You!" It seems so insignificant compared to the care and professionalism you have shown and continue to show us regarding the purchase of our new home. You worked with us for seven months and we viewed over 30 homes, but you kept it informative and "painless" - and all the while, keeping us in mind...not as a potential sale, but as a family that was looking to join your community. We interviewed several realtors but chose you as our exclusive realtor because of how you responded and treated us...on the human side We have dealt with other realtors over the past year and not one of them has all of the essentials as you do. Your help, direction and leadership have not stopped after we signed the proverbial dotted line! Our simple "Thank You" does not seem enough for the leg-work, paperwork, and true care you have shown and given us through this process. We look forward to being part of the Memphis and Bartlett / Arlington communities and more particular, your own community and making us a home out of the house we purchased through you."

Our deepest gratitude

"Hello Connie and Don

I want to give to you my sincere thanks for all of your help and patience. As a first-time home buyer, I know that I needed some additional attention to help me through this process and you were both there for me every step of the way. I can not even imagine purchasing my first home without you both being a part of it. Thank you so much for that! As soon as I have completed my move and have made this "house" my home, I would like to ask you both to come over for dinner one night...I won't take no for an answer. I will be talking to you soon."

Sincerely,
~Emily Babossa

"Don,

I just wanted to take moment and thank you for how much you have helped Elizabeth, and I in finding a house. As you know, we not only were involved in finding and buying a house in Memphis, but we also were in the process of getting married, and packing up to move over 1,500 miles to Tennessee.  A very, very stressful 30 days ensued. But, and I say this with all honesty, without you, it would not have been possible. The services you provided were not just as a real estate agent, but a true friend who made everything go so smoothly. From the small things, such as always being available for every question, to the biggest thing of all, helping us find the house of our dreams!"

Thank you so much,
~Dan and Elizabeth Sutherland

"Sean and I want to thank you both so much for all your hard work in finding the
perfect house for our move back to the Memphis area. I can't believe how
"right on" you were in showing us to this fabulous home that we ultimately purchased. You spent many hours researching the market for us while we were trying to sell our home in  Seattle. Everyday, I looked forward to opening my emails to see what great homes you had for us to look through. Your dedication and service to your clients truly is unsurpassed!! Thank you so much. We will definitely recommend you and Connie to anyone we know looking to sell or buy a home!"

~Kim and Sean McCreave

"Hello Connie and Don

I wanted to thank you both for all of your hard work. You are truly dedicated professionals. Your help and guidance throughout the home buying process was especially appreciated. I don’t think any other realtor has spent that much time and effort with me in my past home purchases. I have family members that will be purchasing in the near future and I will surely suggest to them that they phone you first.

Thanks again."

Very Truly Yours,
~Joseph and Wendy Gunn

"Don & Connie,

I do want you both to know how much Bob and I appreciated your performance during our endeavor of selling and buying a house. You handled it in the most professional way.

We will definitely recommend you to any of our friends and family. We appreciate the way you kept us updated with the goings on during this period. Again, thank you and we will keep in touch. I will send you an email from time to time."

Sincerely,
~Bob & Beulah Fenbert

"As we are still in the process of getting settled in our new house I am reminded of your wonderful professional care and attention to detail which proved so valuable to our relocation to the Memphis area. As you can imagine, moving to a new area can be very trying. Your knowledge, service, and expertise of the area and the business was greatly welcomed as it afforded us a smooth transition. I have already made mention of your service to other newcomers and will continue to do so."

Sincerely,
~Andre Avelino

"As a Marine Corps Infantry Officer embedded in training Marines for their future deployment, I had a very small window in which to find a house before my permanent change of station to the Memphis area. Not only were you prepared when I arrived, but you were very insightful throughout the whole experience. Your initial e-mail correspondence was thorough, punctual and it provided me with myriad of options in terms of location. The professional manner in which you dealt with the seller’s agent provided reassurance that I would get a good deal at reasonable cost. As a result, I moved into a great neighborhood for the right price and its location suits all of my needs. Moreover, I know that I placed a serious burden on your efforts because of timing and having to move in at a specified date, but you came through for me and I truly appreciate everything that you did and still continue to do. Getting oriented to the area was seamless through your sound advice and geographical acumen. Thank you for everything and I look forward to working with you when I transition to my next location."

"Two years ago, we discovered your site on the internet and you quickly responded to help us in our transition from San Diego to Memphis. You helped us buy our current house in just 2 days while we were on our "House Hunting" trip. Our Bartlett neighborhood has been the best neighborhood that we have lived in and we have really enjoyed our house. Your knowledge of the local area and advice along the way has been so valuable. Since the Navy is transferring us this summer, we called on you again for assistance. Again, you came through and sold our house in just 3 weeks! I would strongly recommend you to anyone moving to the Memphis area. "

We'll give you a call if we head back this way!
~LCDR Bill & LCDR Rose Conway

"We took all summer getting our home ready to sell, but once we were finished, we were astounded by how quickly you sold our home for us......ONE DAY! Our sales price was right on target and we could not be happier with the results of the sale. Whenever you come to Florida, please come visit. Thanks again."

~Jan Sheddan

September 2005

"I wanted to drop you a note to again say thanks. Your help in finding our first home and working us through the process was much appreciated...but we must also thank you for now selling our home in what appears to be record time!! Only four days and we had a solid contract!.....we can not thank you enough. Your advice on fixing up the small items that needed attention surely helped, but we got the price we wanted and came out ahead and only lived there for two years. If we ever return to the Memphis area, we will call on you for help again."

~Kelley Brown

"My wife and I just want to take a quick minute and say thanks for assisting us and providing valuable help--which made for an extremely smooth move from the West to the East.  Your significant up-front assistance (several weeks of e-mail/internet exchanges) proved very valuable prior to coming to Memphis; to locate a home for our family. We also appreciated you taking the time to meet us when we finally arrived in Memphis on our one week house hunting trip.  You were well prepared which aided us in maximizing our efforts in just a short period of time.  You considered our comments/concerns and helped us make appropriate decisions for this part of the country and specific to the Memphis area.  Your knowledge in writing a reasonable offer, we believe, attribute to the successfully purchase of our dream home.  Furthermore, the time you spent with us at the local HomeDepot was very much appreciated too-- we believe you helped us select a reliable fridge and washer/dryer…another sign of your commitment to go the extra mile with us.  In addition, your assistance in the pre-walk through of the home, prior to closing, proved very useful and beneficial.  We were able to clear-up all of our concerns before attending closing.  And lastly, your attendance at closing was not only unusual to us, but proved very beneficial and once again reflected your commitment to see this process to the very end.  One final note, your follow-up calls, after closing on our home, to make sure we were settling into our new home/area was a welcome sight…your area contact listing was useful too.  And most recently, your effort in helping us with some follow-up property tax questions was appreciated as well.

Don, thank you again…not only did you meet our initial expectations, but you exceeded them!  We will most surly use your selling services in the future when it is our time to relocate to yet another area of the Country."

"Connie and Don:

Thank you so much for your efforts involved with our relocation from North Carolina to Memphis. As a graduate student with two daughters, we didn't have the luxury of multiple trips to find our new home. You spent time trying to understand what we were looking for before we visited and had three full days of houses lined up when we arrived. We found an area and a new home with four days of your dedicated time. This was only possible because of your commitment to email to us homes that you felt we would be happy in and the preparation that was done before we arrived. We are very happy where we ended up in Brunswick Farms."

  Thanks again!

~Dave and Nadine Hirte

March 2005

"Dear Don and Connie

We wanted to thank you so much for your expertise and guidance. This is our first home, and you helped us every step of the way. We never knew about the special financing for first time home-buyers and that saved us a lot of money on the front end. We are extremely happy with our home and glad you recommended this neighborhood to us. Our children are very happy as well, and as you know, that is the most important thing to consider when you have young children. Anyway, please mail us some of your business cards as we will surely suggest to some of our clients that they use your services, especially since they are all new to the Memphis area. You both seemed to know something about most areas of Memphis and the suburbs. Thank you again."

  Most Sincerely

~David and Teresa Handy

"Bill and I just wanted to thank you again for helping us to locate such a lovely home!

As we told you, we have moved many times, but this house search was by far the easiest because you both were so dedicated to meeting our requests. Your professionalism plus your genuine concern made finding and buying a home in the Memphis area a truly pleasant experience. We had a good time!

Bill and I believe that this was due to the fact that you were prepared--you had a plan and a schedule that allowed for adaptations if necessary. After seeing the exterior of one house, we chose not to go inside, and this was fine with you. You never tried to force us to see any house. Your goal was simply to find a house WE liked, not a house you wanted to sell.

In addition, you answered numerous questions with great patience and knowledge. The list of telephone numbers you compiled for us, including the electric company, the airport, Internet services, schools, etc., was invaluable! And...just for the record, no other realtor has ever been this helpful.

Even after we made our move, you continued to answer questions and provide guidance when I needed help. This was "above and beyond" the call of duty, but sincerely appreciated.

All of these outstanding qualities make you both exceptional realtors! If we can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call on us."

~Bill and Donna Jones

"We were first time home buyers, and barely knew what we were doing. You were with us every step of the way to make sure we ended up with what we wanted for the right price. We couldn't be happier with the way we were treated!"

~Shawne and Amanda Child

September 2004

"We wanted to thank you so much for everything. We could not have asked for better realtors to help us through all of this move. We will recommend you to anyone we know that may need a realtor."

~Steve and Teresa Harker

July 2004

"You did a super job taking care of us, helping us understand the dynamics of the city and the different communities. As important as it was to us to find the right house, it was equally important to stay away from trouble areas or houses that may cause problems down the road. Your guidance was invaluable there. At times, it felt like we had hired a personal concierge with all the extra services you provided. Thanks for all the help, we will certainly recommend you to anyone in need of a realtor and wouldn't hesitate to use you again.

You did a great job and we are certainly pleased with the house and your service."

~Ken and Lisa Woody

"We want to just thank you for all your help and hard work assisting us in finding our new home. Jim has had a great experience there exploring...... so we are looking forward to our new adventure in TN together. We will refer you to anyone we know transferring here. Thanks again."

"You two have done it again! I never thought that I would be moving again so soon. When I phoned you, I think you were surprised as well. Your quick action helped me to purchase a fantastic home with pool in Collierville, at a great price I might add, and found it on our first day of home hunting. Then, you listed my golf course home and sold it in just four days for full price. You both amaze me. Thank you again."

~Charlie Swan

April 2004

"This make number four....the fourth home that you have helped me to purchase. This time it was a new challenge (for me anyway) since this home started from the ground up. Your expertise in new construction surely was a Godsend to me and I can't just say thank you and feel like I've come close to acknowledging how valuable your years of new construction experience was to the success of our transaction. Your clients who purchase new construction homes and use your services are at a great advantage. Please stop in and visit us."

Sincerely,
~Brenda Cox

March 2004

"We were so pleased with your help in answering questions and helping to find a suitable home that I wanted to pass along the names of some good Navy friends who will also be coming to Memphis later this spring, early this summer. LCDR Chris Phillips, and his wife Kim (who spoke with Amy yesterday) are interested in getting more information on the area, real estate, etc - I'd appreciate it if you could help them as much as you helped Amy and I.

Thanks in advance, will talk soon."

Cheers,

"I cannot tell you how much your service and special attention meant to my wife and I. As we prepared for move away from our military family and friends in San Diego, our anxiety was high and our choices about the Memphis area unclear until we started our association with you. Military families like us move often and I have to say that you made it very easy. In fact, this was probably our easiest move yet. Thanks for all you have done for us. I would gladly recommend you to any of my friends. Please use me as a reference for any interested parties moving to Memphis. I look forward to sharing our great experience to anyone who might want to listen."

Very respectfully yours,
~LT CMDR Bill Conway and LT CMDR Rose Conway

"Karen and I wanted to send you a note expressing our thanks for all the hard work and extra effort that you displayed in helping us find a home in Collierville. The service that you gave us and the dedication that you showed was nothing less than spectacular. You definitely went “ Above and Beyond “ for us. This was not an easy transaction, but you went out of your way several times to make sure it worked for us. It was by chance that we met, but I am so glad that we did. I could not have asked for more in a realtor. You not only have a satisfied customer, but a friend as well. I meet a lot of people in my business; rest assured that if they need a realtor, I will be recommending you. This type of service and dedication to your customers will only breed one thing, SUCCESS. Keep up the good work Don and thanks again."

Sincerely,
~Tav and Karen Pirocchi

"Tom and I wanted to take the time to say "Thank You" for helping us find a beautiful new home in Tennessee! We just love it here and are really enjoying our new home! Being Thanksgiving and all, we are truly "Thankful" for all that you did for us!

You were great to work with and made the task of finding just the right house for us so fun and easy!

From the time I spotted your website on the internet (your website being the best!) when searching for homes in Tennessee from St. Louis, to when we actually met you and you searching out areas and homes for us on our visit here, you made it so easy and comfortable for us. The transition for us was not hard because you found our beautiful home in Bartlett in "Brunswick Farms" that made us feel right at home!

Thank "You" so very much!"

Sincerely,
~The Rogers,

"The Shellenberger Family would like to thank you for your exceptional service for us when we were looking for our house in TN. We are a military family and we were stationed overseas. We were transferring back to the states and didn't have an opportunity to go on house hunting leave before we came. So, I searched the Internet for months, before I became conformable with you. It was 7 months out before we were even going to leave Italy when I began my search for a home in TN. You stuck with me all the way and never hesitated to research the market for us. When we finally arrived, you blocked off plenty of time for us to look at houses and you were totally prepared and punctual to all of your appointments. You were there with questions and answers to satisfy our concerns. Your customer service was excellent and your follow through till the end was superb. You were a big part of our successful move to TN."

Thank you for your professionalism,
~Michael, Kelly, Kayla and Madison Shellenberger

June 2003

"From the first time I spoke with you on the phone until the last, it has been a genuine pleasure working with someone of your caliber. Your professionalism, knowledge, and persistence made the purchase of our Memphis home a pleasant transition from California into retirement in this most lovely city. Having clients who wanted to see everything available must have been trying at times, but you were kind enough to cater to our every whim. Gordon and I truly enjoyed doing business with you and enjoyed our time with you and Connie. You both are an asset to your profession. Thank you so very much for EVERYTHING!"
 

Gratefully,

"I know not how to express all my gratitude for your help. I have only been here in U.S. for 5 years, but I save and save to be able to buy house. My daughter will come to visit this summer, and I am proud to be homeowner first time. I could not do this without you. I have friends that will call you for help in buying a home here. I will tell them how you worked through all the process to make this happen for me. I will always remember. "

Thank you,
~Tony Chikov

March 2003

"I was getting really discouraged in the home buying process, trying to work with a part-time realtor....then my friend Tiffany, who just purchased a new house from you in January, told me about you.
Connie, you have been a life saver. All of a sudden, this process that was confusing to me to say the least, became so easy. You took control and presented new listings to look at right away, helped me negotiate a really good offer, and then we closed inside of 22 days! I surely owe Tiffany a thanks for giving me your name and offer you my sincere thanks for all that you have done. I will always call you in the future and recommend you to my friends and family."

Most Sincerely,
~Terri Burton

February 2003

"Just wanted to say thanks again for helping us find a great home. We will be moving to Memphis soon due to a military transfer. In the beginning when I found out we were getting transferred to your area, I sent out several emails to different realtors asking for advice and assistance, but you were the only one who took me serious and expressed a desire to help me. You and Connie were available whenever we had a question, and answered all my emails. When the time came for us to come down from New York to search for and buy a house, we had a limited amount of time in town to search. You cleared your schedule for us and refused to quit until we found a place we could call home. Now that's what I call service! You went above and beyond by working late into the night on several occasions with us to make sure we got the right house. We are so excited now to move to Memphis and feel great knowing we got the house that was meant for us. You have certainly made this transfer much easier than it could have been. You can bet that if anyone we know needs a house, we will send them your way. Thanks again."

~Dave and Alison Kroll

January 2003

"I would like to thank you very much for all your kind assistance. You have been the most responsive to all our questions and needs in this purchase and provided the details that we needed to understand the home buying process. We have only been in the U.S. for 5 years, but we know Memphis is our home and we know that you have helped us to purchase our first house. Neither of us will forget your kindness. Please come by to visit us."

~Peter & Dana Porvaz

December 2002

"Thanks for your email. It is so refreshing to have you follow up with us as you have. I know that this is probably how you always conduct your business, but it is something new that we have not experienced with other realtors that we have used in the past. When the military moves you as much as they do, you start to expect less, but you and Connie have provided the best service we have ever experienced to date.

Deana and I couldn’t be happier with our moving experience, living in this area, our new home, and the service that the two of you have provided. You definitely fulfilled your promise of unsurpassed service as advertised on your web site."

~David & Deana Bartholomew

December 2002

"I just wanted to send you this note of thanks. After the Memphis property was left to me by my Grandmother, I knew that all I could do was to sell. I knew absolutely nothing about the process, as this has never happened to me before. I am glad to have found you and was able to trust your guidance through the entire process. If you ever come to Vermont, please look me up. Happy Holidays and thank you."

~Amanda Schexnayder

November 2002

"Both Elsa and myself would like to thank You and Connie. This is our very first home, and since neither of us have ever lived in Memphis before now, your knowledge of property values  and the proximity of neighborhoods close to the Millington Naval Base was very important to us. You both looked out for our interests every step of the way, and we are both happy to have picked the two of you as our realtors. I will recommend you to others at the Naval station that may be in need of a realtor. We truly appreciate you for looking out for us. Thanks again for everything."

~Steave & Elsa Phann

September 2002

"Our first meeting was quite by chance. I dialed a wrong number one night, and there I was talking with you Don. Ottie and I had been looking off and on for our first home, but only with the help and perseverance that You and Connie were able to give us, were we able to find our beautiful new home in East Memphis. We can not thank you enough and I still say to this day, that the phone call meeting was a God send. Please call us and lets get together."

~Cheryl & Ottie Golden

August 2002

"I wanted to personally thank the both of you for not only getting top dollar for the sale of my home, but you saved me several thousand dollars in the negotiations for my new home. I know I only moved from one side of the golf course community to the other side, but I was able to complete both the sale of my home and purchase of the new one in just over 60 days! I was really amazed! Your diligence in marketing my home with both local advertising and on the internet sure paid off. Thanks again."

~Charlie Swan

June 2002

"Connie, Mark and I want to thank you and Don for all of the patience you showed during our home search in Memphis and during the entire buying process. This move was very emotional for us as you know. Along with being transferred to another city and then of course the home buying experience ,,but also leaving our two grown children behind was allot for me and I appreciate both of you for your understanding and helpfulness. Helpfulness is really an understatement. You found us a wonderful home in a record time (especially for us) and we can't thank you enough!"

~Mary & Mark Stephenson

June 2002

Hi guys,

"Frank and I want you to know that it was certainly a pleasure meeting, dining and house hunting with you. You did a great job in finding us just what we wanted and in an incredibly short period of time. Your knowledge of the local builders was certainly a plus in our final negotiations. Thanks again."

~Frank & Maryjane Ferrara

April 2002

"I found you guys through your web site, and I am one of those people that expects service---just like I give in my business. Your slogan of 'Unsurpassed Service' is an understatement. Don, you and Connie left no stone unturned and made our move to Memphis an easy one. You covered every detail. I am very impressed and will recommend you to anyone I know looking for a home in the Memphis area. The property you found for me in Fayette County is just perfect."

"You and Connie have gone out of your way to show our home, as well as show us available property while our house was on the market. Our home sold so quickly, I wasn't sure that we would have enough time to write a contract and get into our new home. You covered all the details and did double time as well as negotiating a fantastic price for us both on the selling end and on our purchase.  Thanks again.  I will send you some referrals."
