"I remember well what you said to me a while ago--that people don't remember the hassles of selling an apartment. I know in time I'll forget a lot of this year, but I will always remember your professionalism and your tenacity. Barbara L.
"My compliments concerning your good design, communication skills, and excellence in keeping me informed as well as caring how I feel about what is happening. You and Ian have been more than agents, you have treated my husband and me with concern for our wellbeing and care.” Shannon S.
"Selling is a once in a lifetime event for us…we can't thank you enough for all your efforts in steering us through the process. I think we have already told you how great your "staging" of the apartment was. And it was an immense pleasure dealing with you at all times.” Doris B.
"Someday you should write a book about the adventures of being a real estate agent in New York City - it would be a best seller. Thanks again.” Thatcher W.
