Testimonials:

 

This letter is being written to acknowledge the excellent service John Conlon has provided as our real estate professional over the past year.  During this time, John served as our agent during the purchase of our new home and the sale of our previous home.  John brings together a strong set of relevant skills with a commitment to provide the best in professional services for his clients.  The quality of service that he provided, lead to the sale of our home during these recent difficult financial times in which the inventory of unsold homes has ballooned. 

In addition to explaining some of John's professional qualities below, we also wish to emphasize that had John not done an extraordinary job, we would not have been willing to provide this letter.  However, based on our participation in seven real estate transactions during the past 14 years, John's performance went far beyond what we have experienced in the past. 

 

1.      Listened well to what our ideas and interests were.  Whether he was showing us properties to purchase or implementing a market plan to sell our home, John always focused his attention and action on what was important to us.

2.      Communicated regularly and timely so that my wife and I always felt that he was in touch.

3.      Took full advantage of Internet and computer technology to offer us the most rapid and wide- ranging view of the market.  In addition to providing telephone calls, John posted updated information to a secure location on his Web page so that at any time of the week, or day we were receiving updates information.  He subscribed us to daily market activity reports so that we had daily knowledge of activity in the market.

4.      Coordinated and was present for all inspections, personally delivered all relevant paperwork directly to our home, frequently visited the property to assure its maintenance and up-keep.

5.      Used quantitative and qualitative skills as needed to assess market conditions and suggest next steps.

6.      Followed up in a timely and effective manner to solicit feedback and build interest among potential buyers and their agents.

7.      Drew upon a network of realtors and other professionals (i.e., financing, inspections, trades people, etc.) to assist in all aspects of our home purchase and sale, and to receive independent assessment by other sharing expertise.

8.      John always stuck by his strong ethical code in all aspects of his services.

 

This list of points is by no means complete but attempts to highlight the quality of service that John gave to us as his clients.  As a result of his high quality of service and proven performance in this presently difficult real estate market, we're confident that he has built a lasting professional relationship that will draw us back in the future as our need for real estate services arise.  We strongly recommend John to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell a home.

Sincerely,
Michael and Lisa

Testimonial:

 

We engaged John’s services in the first instance to help us find our ideal rental property.  So impressed were we with John’s professionalism, local knowledge and

non-pressured approach, that we sought him out one year later when we finally decided to purchase our first home in the area.  John actively listened to understand our precise requirements and therefore he added value by eliminating properties from our viewing list, which he knew would not meet our needs.  We were very confident that armed with that information, he would help us find our ideal home.  He demonstrated strong attention to detail and personally visited our new home on several occasions to inspect and check general maintenance.   He ensured that we were well informed throughout the buying process and he was proactive in his approach.  Even when the sale transaction had completed,  John went out of his way to offer assistance over and above our experience of the average realtor – eg recommending moving companies and local tradesmen, regularly checking-in to offer his assistance without prompting.  

 

In addition to his professional expertise and knowledge, John is a very personable individual, making it a pleasure to do business with him.  We would highly recommend John’s services to any prospective clients.
