Karen and John Barrett

"It is my pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for John and Karen Barrett, ERA Marketing Specialists. As a trust officer I was instructed by my out of state clients to sell their cottage for them. I interviewed several realtors from the local area to make sure my client's interests would be well represented. From that very first interview John and Karen stood head and shoulders above the rest. I found them to be professional, knowledgeable, thorough and prompt. They always made sure that I understood each step of the process and its possible outcomes. Not dealing in real estate transactions every day I found their recommendations and guidance to be invaluable. I always received status calls as well as follow up calls to make sure that I had received necessary faxes and emails. They were very involved with the other service providerrs such as building inspectors, surveyors, title companies and lenders. This was especially helpful since I am not from the local area where the property was located. John and Karen just really made the process a seamless experience with a very successful outcome. I appreciated their assisting me in the timing to make sure we completed the listing before the new listing book came out and also getting the virtual tour up and running. Since my clients were out of state they were able to follow the process with the online listing, the virtual tour and the My Real Estate Information Center which showed the up to the minute efforts they had made in selling the property. As a result of their efforts, the property I listed with them sold very quickly. I would highly recommend them as a great team to have on your side when it comes to buying and selling real estate. I felt like I was dealing with friends and I very much appreciate their efforts."
