Harold Dana Pope

"It is with great satisfaction & gratitude that I write this letter of recommendation for Harold "Buddy' Pope. Only because of his thorough & hard work were we able to find both a home & a location that we had been seeking to meet our objectives in moving from NJ to NH in the early 2nd Quarter of 2005. We had been looking without success for a home in NH since Nov., 2004 and were rapidly becoming disenchanted with the process, feeling that our buying criteria were not being sufficiently considered. Through the recommendation of our realtor, we were then put in touch with Buddy. From the moment I saw & perused his website at www.popesays.com I knew that here at last was someone with whom I would like to do business. After 2 comprehensive telephone conversations, getting to know each other & setting forth our objectives, Buddy went to work - and work he did, in a most comprehensive & professional fashion. By the time we met he had thoroughly researched the area, lined up a complete range of properties to view, analyzed their pros & cons vs. our objectives ,& was then fully prepared to lead us through the viewing process. It took us just 2 hours to agree that 1 of his prime recommendations was the home for us. Thereafter, he guided us carefully through the negotiation process right up to the final closing. His direction & recommendations were flawless & without his guidance the procedure could not have been completed as smoothly as it was. For both my wife & I, Buddy was a real pleasure to work with from initial contact through & beyond the closing. Should the need arise we would use him again without hesitation .He is a true professional, hard working, totally dependable, fun to work with & with the experience, confidence & self assurance to meet our needs. It is with great pleasure & satisfaction that I unequivocally recommend Buddy as a truly unique & exceptionally capable REALTOR. W.

"Dear Buddy, Please accept my apology for not writing sooner to formally thank you for the successful closing on our home in Hollis this summer. The sale could not have been in better hands. The best real estate decision we made was to use you; you deserve the credit for the rest of the story. Only an extraordinary Realtor could have orchestrated such success in lieu of all the obstacles and surprises that potential buyers threw our way. Who could have predicted that a buyer would drop out within 24 hours of closing or that you would be able to pull together a closing with another backup buyer less than two weeks later! This success reflects your tenacious commitment to your client. It continues to amaze us that in this year's struggling real estate market we were actually able to sell our home for five percent more than the listing price recommended by two other realtors we considered. Your research analysis to determine a listing price was exhaustive as evidenced in your initial presentation to us and ultimately proved to be an accurate reading of the market. You advised on ways we could enhance the value of our home, and we know that following your advice, whether it was a fresh coat of paint, staging, or cleaning out clutter, made our home more attractive and pleasing to potential buyers. Beyond a keen understanding of the market, you are a man of integrity. We knew we would be represented with honor and honesty. You agreed that the best policy is to be forthright in disclosure; sharing ethical values is another reason we knew you were the right realtor for us. We have gained a new respect for the real estate profession through our experience with you. You are the hardest working realtor we have ever had the privilege to work with. Your diligence, perseverance, and attention to detail were evident on a daily basis. You were patient with us, wisely advised us when ever we had a question, but never dictated to us what we should or should not do. We appreciated the respect you afforded us. Clearly we put our trust in the right realtor. I wish I could thank you in a big way, such as having you represent us in the sale of another property, but for now this letter will have to suffice. We will always be grateful to have had such expertise and guidance from such a kind gentleman. With best regards, D. and S. Kissell -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is my pleasure to tell others what a wonderfully dedicated, warmhearted and thoroughly professional person Buddy Pope is. It was through his diligence and experience that we were able to accomplish something almost impossible in today’s market— a quick close and a good price on the sale of our home. I thought for sure when we listed our house with Buddy that we were in for a long winter’s wait for the right buyer to come along. We had already been through one round of unsuccessful marketing with another realtor the previous year, and knowing full well that the market had declined even further over the last 12 months I suspected that our goal of a quick close would be impossible. But I knew right away that working with Buddy was going to be different. Not only did he ask important questions about our goals and priorities, he listened to our answers. And then Buddy went to work for us in a way that no agent, buyers or sellers, had ever worked for us before. He made finding the buyer for our house look ridiculously easy. Less than a week after we listed our house with him we had an offer. Not only one offer, but the prospect of two offers lay before us. What a position to be in! I almost felt guilty! The next few weeks of negotiations and inspections were handled with a thoroughness and diligence that was amazing. Every question was answered, every problem addressed promptly and professionally. Buddy is a pleasure to work with, and I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a capable, thorough and responsive realtor who knows his stuff, and is fun to work with to boot. M.
