Dear Sherry and Bill:

We were successful in selling my property because of your knowledge, dedication and direction.  I followed your initial list of suggestions to prepare my house for sale.  As time progressed you  had more suggestions which I did and that ultimately lead to our buyer.  Your combined experience and expertise in the Riverwoods marketplace proved to be the winning combination in the toughest housing market in decades.

In addition, your positive attitude helped me overcome some of the feelings of despair which flirted through my head at times.

A well deserved thank you to both of you for your uplifting spirit and perseverance.

Best regards,

L. Charles Lentz

Dear Bill and Sherry:

We want to thank you both for doing such a terrific job in selling our Riverwoods home!

We chose the two of you to represent us and our beautiful home last August because we felt that a seller does, indeed get "two for the price of one" with you-not only two competent, seasoned agents, but two different personalities with different strengths. We also chose you because we were very comfortable with you living and working in Riverwoods, a real plus in our situation because we were in Florida during the entire listing period.  We knew that you had no problem with being at our house for accompanied showings, etc., something that we highly valued.

We also thank you for "sticking this one out."  Obviously, this was not a simple real estate transaction.  But, with your determination and hard work to make it happen- we had a closing!  And, you were totally correct when you said that getting an offer isn´t the hard part of a sale, but rather seeing it through to the end, to the closing.  And, what a terrific job you both did on that!

It is a plus that we know and trusted you both.  When you said you were going to do something, you followed through and did it.  And, that concerned everything from dealing with the buyers and their agents to overseeing the cleaning help and checking on the house sale crew.

Any seller would be very well represented by the two of you and Coldwell Banker.  Thank you for the wonderful job you did for us in selling One Deepwood Trail in Riverwoods.

Sincerely,

John H. (Jack) and Connie Kindsvater


Dear Sherry and Bill,

It has been such a nice experience working with both of you that I decided to share my feelings in a letter.  I love my home and have dreaded the idea of selling it for most of the last year.  However, when my business finalized in Algonquin, IL I realized that I would have to sell.  I knew I wanted to include you in the list of brokers I considered.  Once we met to discuss the sale of my home I knew at once that I had found the best place to list my home.  Your knowledge of the market and honest evaluation of where my home best fit into it was so different from what I had heard from other's; like the proverbial breath of fresh air!  Some of the features that were unique to my home were subtle, yet valid and important if its potential price was to be obtained.  You saw them the same way I did with no prompting.

My goal was to realize the highest NET selling price for my home; just like everyone else.  Your evaluation and explanation of a pricing strategy made agreeing on a selling price easy.  I was confident of our plan and even excited about being a part of the team that was going to make it happen.  My dread and hang-dog posture was replaced with enthusiasm to meet the challenge.

The list of things that needed to be done was a long one.  Yet you were patient while I struggled to get the work that needed to be done completed and encouraging as progress was made.  The attaboys were always appreciated!

The follow-up and communication you provided was far better than I ever experienced in the sale of my other homes or properties.  These differences stand out and are the reason I will request your help in my search for a new home even though it will be in a town several miles away.

I could go on and on but I will close by saying you have my sincere thanks for a job well done.  The pleasure of working with you will stay with me long after I have moved from Riverwoods.

Sincerely yours,

Calvin Johnston


Dear Sherry and Bill,

Thanks to both of you for spending a whole week with us and finding our new beautiful home.  We appreciate your patience and guidance. Your knowledge of the area proved very helpful in our decision making process.

We are impressed with you dedication and tireless work ethic. You phone calls to us while we were still living in Virginia and making all the arrangements for paint and carpet estimates were above and beyond the call of duty. You are both wonderful people and great new friends.

Love,

Sung and Andy Park


Dear Bill and Sherry,

Thank you both for all of your help!  We really could not have done it without you.  Thank you for making one of the most important and stressful times in our lives so much easier.  We will always be thankful to you for helping us get into our first home.

Steve and Kathryn


Dear Sherry:

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the professional and helpful way you handled the recent sale of estate property for our client.  The service you provided was outstanding to say the least, particularly considering the work you coordinated to make the property market ready.  Your knowledge of the marketplace and your experience proved essential.  And, of course, the quick results you got for our client speak for themselves.

It was our pleasure working with you on this project, and I certainly look forward to future opportunities for us to use your organization.

Very truly yours,
SUGAR, FRIEDBERG & FELSENTHAL
