------------------------------
"Since I began listing and selling homes in 1987, my primary goal has been to develop long-lasting relationships with clients based on trust and mutual respect. I always put my client's interest first, and this simple philosophy has served as the foundation for what has become a long track record of business success. Today, nearly 100% of my business comes from past clients and their referrals.
"Providing exceptional client service involves several integral factors. First, I know the real estate market as well as any agent. In fact, prominent bank appraisers have turned to me for more than a decade for analysis of trends in the market. Second, I make a special point of staying current on all changes in real estate laws. I employ my knowledge of markets and the law to keep my clients educated, helping them make better real estate decisions.
"Finally, I serve all my clients with energy, enthusiasm, and the personal enjoyment that comes from doing my job well. I bring to the table an upbeat, can-do attitude that is reflected in the strong and persuasive marketing programs I develop for my listed properties. Thoughtful property descriptions, expansive photo galleries, and intelligent use of internet technology together ensure that my listings receive maximal attention from the buying public and sell at top price."
"Dear Marion,
Now that we’re well settled into our new home, we wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for the help you’ve given us over the last few years.
You may recall that we first met at an open house you were holding. At that time we were new to the area, and we were struck by how genuine and helpful you were in answering many of our property related questions and as many non-property related ones!
We’ve worked with you since then on three transactions – two purchases and a sale, and also on many wild goose chases in-between. We really appreciated that you worked with us with a long-term perspective- never trying to rush us into a sale, always giving us the space and information to allow us to make good decisions.
Hopefully, we’re well settled and we won’t need your services for a while: the home we have now really does offer so many of our “must have” characteristics. However, be assured that if we do need real estate help, or if we have friends who need help we’ll be heading in your direction again.
Many thanks,
Sophie and David Golds"

Genny,
So far the spring market has been healthy. In order to arrive at a correct market price one would need to actually see your home and then compare other properties within the area to your home. While there is not a scientific formula for arriving at a list price this will give you a good starting point. As an agent it is also my responsiblitiy to help you develop a punch list of what needs to be done to the home - staying within your budget - to maximize the sale price of your home.
Best Regards,
Marion Tilley
