"To Whom It May Concern,I was not looking forward to moving, but with a familyof three living in a one-bedroom apartment, we had to.I remembered that buying the one-bedroom wasstressful. Now I had to sell and buy simultaneously. Iwas expecting to lose many nights sleep.Mark David was recommended to me by a friend who saidthat their brokers weren’t as obnoxious and pushy asmost. When I met with Matt and Stephanie, I knew thatthey were a good fit for the property that we wereselling. They seemed like the kind of people who wouldlive in our building. They arrived with all theirfacts and figures in order and a youthful, optimisticenergy.Our apartment sold within a week of listing within ourprice target zone. And later, when the buyers turnedout to be irrational and difficult, Matt and Stephanieshielded us from most of their craziness. The buyinghalf of the deal went without incident. Over thecourse of a few months, I lost hardly any sleep overthe whole transaction.I would call on them again.Sincerely,Fred Stesney60 Plaza Street East, Apt 4FBrooklyn, NY 11238"

"To Whom It May Concern:Several years ago, when my daughter decided to move to New York City to study at Circle in the Square and then work as an actress, I decided to invest in a condominium for her to live in rather than paying Manhattan rents. I was fortunate to get the name of Stephanie Davis from the school, since she had also studied there. From my first email until after the closing, the thing that impressed me the most about Stephanie was the promptness of her response to every communication I made. Thanks to her Blackberry, she would usually answer my emails within minutes, and her answers always either contained the information I needed, or were very clear about when it would become available. In the mad rush to find and close on a NYC apartment, this quality of communication was critical. And as a person who prefers email to voice communication, I was grateful for Stephanie’s facility in this medium. (I’m sure she is equally communicative with phone calls and voice mails too!) In any case, I would certainly choose Stephanie again if I were looking for another apartment.Sincerely,M. Parkermhparker@comcast.net."

"To whom it may concern:It is with great pleasure that I am writing this reference letter for Stephanie Davis and Matthew Drennan of Mark David.My co-op search began with a meeting at their SoHo office and their hands-on approach and caring attitude made my experience a great one. They always eased any concerns that I had and were quick to answer all my questions.I was a first time home buyer, so as you can imagine, I had an enormous amount of questions and didn’t know where to even begin. Stephanie and Matthew were very helpful in completing “Team Karagosian” by recommending a fantastic real estate lawyer as well as an extremely knowledgeable mortgage broker. In addition, they provided me with information about the real estate market in New York, a “check list” of what I need to do and know in order to purchase my first co-op, and a line-up of “must see” apartments in my price range to check out together.Their positive attitude and eagerness to make me happy helped me find my perfect home.I am now settled into my new Upper East Side apartment and couldn’t be more pleased.As you can see I have absolutely no reluctance in recommending Stephanie and Matthew for your real estate needs. If you have additional questions or need any further information, please feel free to email me at kim32380@yahoo.com.Yours truly,Kim Karagosian"

"To Whom It May Concern:It is with pleasure to be able to provide this letter of reference and recommendation on behalf of Mark David & Company and Ms. Stephanie Davis.Stephanie was our real estate broker in 2005 when my parents and I purchased a co-op apartment in New York City. The apartment would serve as my primary residence, and I formed a relationship with Stephanie as she set out to find me the perfect home. She was always very attentive to my needs and requests and readily accessible to address any questions or concerns I may have had. Stephanie is a diligent worker and was extremely efficient and organized in putting together our board package. She proved to be a capable broker with a professional attitude, and I had complete trust in her every step of the way. Not only is she a true professional, but Stephanie is also an irresistible charmer with a warm personality, and she was able to negotiate the purchase price of my apartment to an amount lower than I ever expected.Stephanie is an extremely thoughtful person who is more than willing to listen and consider the needs of her clients. Because of her I found the perfect apartment which is now home to my fiancé and me. Stephanie has proven to be an intelligent, capable and dedicated broker and I am confident she will continue to see much success in her profession.Sincerely yours,Kimberly Graham"

"To Whom It May Concern,Like many people right now, my partner and I did not have a lot of “extra” money to spendon a new apartment, yet we knew we wanted a home of our own. We walked into manyoffices with our small budget and modest down payment each time being told there wouldn’tbe anything out there for us unless we could come up with more funds. Then we walked intoMark David and met Stephanie Davis. From day one Stephanie was kind, knowledgeable andmost of all confident that she could find us a wonderful apartment within our budget. As itturned out she found a beautiful apartment in a safe, quiet neighborhood for under ourbudget!Over the next few months Stephanie personally invested extra time and energy into compilinga quite impressive, and massive, application packet for the building and Board of Directors.She spent hours answering any and every question we had about the process or paperwork;even coaching us on our Board of Directors Interview. When we decided we needed myMother to cosign, Stephanie was right there to help my Mother acquire the appropriatedocuments. Stephanie went above and beyond by personally calling institutions on myMother’s behalf to address and solve any problems that arose. We felt like we were in safe andcapable hands throughout the whole process.Since we purchased our apartment two years ago we have heard countless horror stories fromfriends about botched deals, insensitive brokers, and lengthy processes. We can honestly saythat if it were not for the incredible people at Mark David, like Stephanie Davis, we would betelling those same stories. The staff at Mark David genuinely care about their clients and willdo everything in their power to help you accomplish your goals. They treat their clients asmore than just a “job.” They listen to you, fight for you, guide you and take care of you likefamily. Without hesitation we recommend this firm highly.Sincerely yours,Rainbow Dickerson & Bret Koppin"
