ACCOLADES
"I'm very pleased that the Mary Mills Coxe Inn is no longer part of my real estate portfolio. I appreciate your diligence during the marketing process. I have had the inn listed for nearly five years (approximately two years prior to you) and never had an offer or had a serious buyer. Since your involvement, I have had numerous inquiries and some offers. When the inn sold, there were two serious offers on the table --- neither of which had a second broker involved. .."
"Additionally, during the due diligence phase, you were very helpful in your legwork, factfinding and question answering for the prospective buyer. In other words, I really feel that you earned your commission. If I had another inn, I would certainly employ your (Mike Horton's) services."
