This is to commend you for the excellent work you performed in finding and securing this home for me. I am enjoying it immensely I never knew how much was involved in the home buying process until I worked with you. Your knowledge and experience made the process a comfortable one. I will certainly recommend you to my family and relatives who are going to buy or sell a home.  

We just settled on the sale of our Takoma Park, MD home in which David Maplesden acted as our selling agent. We are extremely satisfied with both David's efficient, courteous and professional manner, and his attentiveness in keeping us well-informed by e-mail and phone. We were pleased and enlightened to find these things especially in light of the contrast between this sale and the one currently in progress out there in Arizona. There could not be a more stark contrast. I will be pleased to recommend David to anyone needing real estate services in the future. You have a top-notch agent in your office.

We recently sold our much loved home in Takoma Park with the patient help of David Maplesden. He went above and beyond the course of duty, in showing us how to prepare our home for showing and navigate our way through the sales process. David soon sensed that we had neither time nor patience for the myriad of forms and administrivia that went along with a house sale. He was able to coax us along through this stressful time and find us another Takoma Park home, which has turned out to be perfect for us. We would be thrilled to recommend David as an agent. His knowledge of this area, appreciation for the market, gentle persistence and positive energy all make this potentially stressful time a much easier one.

I wanted to thank you for your hard work, patience and persistence in completing a very difficult transaction. I am pleased with the results and happy that you were able to sell the property on my behalf. I am impressed with your management skills and your ability to address details. We had a number of complex issues and you addressed them quite well. It was a real pleasure working with you. Feel free to use me as reference. I look forward to working with you on other transactions.

David Mapleden, our real estate agent, worked hard to sell our house in this difficult market. He is patient, knowledgeable of the zip codes, and knowledgeable of his profession. He was encouraging, yet helped us maintain realism about the selling of our home. He sold our house, and that proves his expertise. We are truly grateful to him.

And now, as Monty Python would say, for something completely different:

I wanted to put down in writing a few words of praise for you about your work with us throughout this entire transaction. As you may know, Kristin and I looked at more than 30 houses before deciding upon our new home. In the process, we had occasion to meet dozens of realtors, many of whom, I'm sorry to say, were pushy, deceitful or downright rude.

Immediately upon meeting you, we knew you were different. No hard sell, no double talk, just an honorable fellow who told it like it is. Everything you promised to do, you did. Every phone call I made, you promptly returned. In the end, I believe your buyer got a fair price for his house, and Kristin and I got our dream home.

In the coming month or so, Kristin and I plan to have a housewarming party, and we would be honored if you and your wife were to attend.
