First, please accept my apology for taking so long to write and thank you for your extraordinary service. I believe that you are the greatest realtor in the world!

To Whom It May Concern,
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank your invaluable staff for their assistance for a smooth transition with our move to Gainesville. My husband had no idea of where to begin our search for a new home. I happened to see your Prudential office on the way to a competitors and thought that I should stop in and see what your staff had to offer. My sister-in-law works for WCI through a Prudential office in Fort Myers where we lived previously. Your office exceeded my expectations. First, I met Barbara who assisted me in placing my daughter at O2B Kids College so we could concentrate on the business at hand. She also provided us with relocation material and assured us of her assistance with whatever we needed. She lived up to her promise. She is extremely genuine, friendly and inviting. Then, we met Marianna. Where do I start? She sat down with me and listened to my situation, identified our needs, and sought out the best house for us. She knew exactly what we wanted. She is professional but very personable at the same time. She found us a house immediately, but it did not work out for us. Instead of rushing us into another deal, she advised us to not give up or settle for something less of our standard. Then, she found us the perfect house. It was not only in the neighborhood where we wished to live, but it was within our budget. She was patient with the red tape of a foreclosure and advised us to be patient as well. She followed through with every step, which I cannot say for the listing agent. She assisted us in finding a lender and kept in close contact with him for the long process of the foreclosure. To this day, I find myself thinking of what if we did not get this house? I thank Marianna for her diligence, perseverance and competence of closing the deal. Thank you for your time. I hope that others find the same experience with your company. It is a stressful time in one's life to relocate. Thanks again for a job well done and helping us adjust to Gainesville smoothly. Sincerely, Rhonda Chiarelli

Dear Howard (Gordon), I just wanted to drop you a thank you for helping us find a new apartment in Gainesville., FL. You truly helped with learning an unfamiliar area and provided a lot of resourceful information. Being from a different area, we were very tentative of Gainesville, but you eased our minds and made us feel very welcome. We look forward to dealing with you in the future with a home purchase. Once again, thank your for your time, kindness and thoughtfulness; it was greatly appreciated.

To whom this may concern, We wanted to let you know how much our REALTOR, Howard Gordon, was a tremendous help to our family. We found out we matched for residency here in Gainesville on March 17th...we were moving from Tampa and had limited time to find a home. Howard gave us wise council and quick response time. He was kind and personable yet so business-like. We were so impressed with how to top of everything he was. Fortunately, for us, two offers on other houses fell through...which allowed us to get the most perfect house for us. We absolutely love it and are so pleased with how the timing was with everything. Everything went more smoothly than even expected. We will highly recommend Prudential Preferred Properties - and in particular, Howard to whomever we know looking to buy or sell! Thank you again. Sincerely The Feldman's

Dear Marjorie (Heintz),
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for assisting me in selling my two pieces of property. You knowledge of the real estate market in the Gainesville area is extraordinary. You have the right contacts to get the job done well and quickly. you were a tremendous help when selling my deceased father's property to a local real estate developer. As you know, it was a very tedious process, and I couldn't have waded though the red tape without you. You were unbelievable when selling my personal home. We priced it perfect, and it sold in 5 days. I couldn't have done it without you. You where there every step of the way, and always kept me up-to-date with the selling process. Should I have more property to sell in the future, you'll be the first person I call.
Thank you for everything,
Sincerely, Katherin Self.

(Letter for Marjorie Heintz)
Dear Ms. Mott,
I don't usually don't take time to write letters of 'thanks' because so often I'm left feeling marginally appreciative of the limited personal service so many organizations offer today. This is not the case with Prudential Preferred Properties. And, the reason is solely due to Marjorie Heintz!
At the end of July, I came sweeping into the Gainesville area looking for a home. My first meeting with Marjorie was a quick 'getting to know what you want in a home' session 1/2 hour before we were actually on the road. Not much time, but she did an excellent job listening as we toured the homes that day. In addition, I wanted to start seeing properties outside the city area.
Our next session took us to many county areas, near and far. Marjorie never complained but was quick to point out the plusses and minuses of every home, base on what I was telling her were important aspects of a home I would enjoy. Hopefully she will recant for you someday the story of the 1 hour drive down some deserted path to find a gorgeous home (if it had been closer I might have purchased it). Again, it just goes to show Marjorie was willing to do whatever necessary to ensure I felt all possible property options had been considered.
Overall, I believe we spent a total of 4 or 5 days together. In the short period of time found a gorgeous home with which I am totally thrilled. And, the closing process went off without a hitch.
Marjorie made the entire experience both enjoyable and informative. Her wonderful sense of humor and caring was constantly demonstrated the entire time we were together. Additionally, she would listen to what I was saying and make recommendations about where she thought I would get the home that best fit 'me' in Gainesville. All the time, providing information about the various communities and recreation/lifestyle options in the area.
I can't say enough about Marjorie, only that if I was ever looking for another home...she would be the first (and ONLY) person I would call. I'm sure you already know what an asset you have in her. She's extra special, and that is hard to come by today.
Best Regards, Jeffrey Hendrickson

(Letter for Carol Tu) Dear Ms. Candy Varnes, I'm sending this letter to express my appreciation for you company's excellent service. I signed the contract for my new house in January this year and I moved into two weeks ago. The house is great. During this time, Carol Tu and your company gave us much help. Ms. Tu is so nice, she provide much help. Without her we must cost us too much time and energy to get a house. We wish your company better and better! Good luck. Thanks again! Nan Jiang

I am so pleased that I was able to find a talented and competent realtor, and I am very satisfied with the services she provided.
I am enjoying my new home and will always be thankful to Carol for helping me find such a lovely home.

(Letter for Sam Swiger) Dear Sam,
Arlene & I wanted to let you know again how much we appreciate working with you in the sale of our Gainesville property. Since we were absentee sellers, we anticipated that the process would be painful, but you made it really easy for us by assuming essentially the entire on site responsibility for getting the place in shape as well as marketing and selling it. We especially appreciated your diligence and impeccable professionalism throughout the process. You gave us consistently good advice and acted on our behalf in an outstanding way.
I hope you understand how much we appreciated you efforts and how pleased we are with the outcome. If you ever need a reference (I suspect your reputation is such that it is unnecessary) we are happy to provide one.
Thanks again, Ken Brigham

Dear Mariella (Varela), After living in my house for a year I am still enjoying it very much. So I want to thank you again for all the help you gave me in my search. You not only found us two beautiful houses for my daughter and me, but you were good enough to collect me to and from the Greyhound Bus station every time I came from Miami. You are very kind and I wish you all the very best. I will certainly recommend you and your agency to others in the future.

(Letter for Mariella Varela)
To Whom It May Concern.
We are writing this letter to thank your agency for helping us find a house. We especially want to thank Mariella Varela, the REALTOR we directly worked with. She helped us with every aspect of buying the house and had excellent work ethics. Moreover, in many occasions she went out of her way to help us with things related to the house we purchased. We were fully satisfied with the service she offered out family and will for sure recommend her to any other friends that need a realtor in the area. Thank you for your assistance.

(Letter for Heather Swanson)
Dear Ms. Mott,
As you know, we recently listed our home with your agent Heather Swanson. We have been so impressed with her marketing plan that we thought we should let you know. Over the years we have bought and sold a number of properties in various locations and using various real estate agencies. This is the first time that we have experienced an agent with true marketing skills and abilities that are technologically current. She developed an excellent flyer as well as a comprehensive booklet on the property that is absolutely the best we have seen. Her photography is superb; her knowledge of computer aided design as well as internet marketing avenues has bee a real bonus.
Since our home has been on the market, Heather has accommodated all requests both from us as well as potential buyers and their agents. She is an excellent representative for your agency.
Sincerely yours,
Dean & Susan Cramer

(Letter for Heather Swanson)
Dear Bonnie,
We closed the other day on a property listed by Heather Swanson in Dixie County. The home was about to be foreclosed on and time was short and emotions high. Heather was a pleasure to deal with through out the experience (including a somewhat uncomfortable closing). She stayed on every detail until the end including dealing with many mishaps with our bank. My partner and I are remodelers and have bought and sold a bit of real estate, and I wish Heather had been my REALTOR for all of our transactions.
Best, Greg Madsen

Candy,
Tina has been an exceptional professional. She has asked some great questions to get us really thinking about what we need. She also continues to be supportive when we are all over the map (literally). I enjoy working with her and know that we will eventually find the home we are looking for. Also, I will be happy to list my current home with her if/when the time comes.

(Letter for Norma Adams)
Dear Norma,
Thank you for the generous amount of time and patience that you allotted to me in assisting me in locating and purchasing a home. Your expertise and experience as well as your perseverance and dedication served to make my experience enjoyable and educational. Furthermore your prudence, in recommending Jim Rockwell at the First National Bank of Alachua, Mortgage Division, John Darr with Nationwide Insurance Agency and Frank Nosko with Inspections Plus, provided me with confidence, security and efficiency throughout the initiation of the home buying process. Your guidance and expertise in helping me not only understand but also initiate the purchase of my first home is greatly appreciated.
In addition to your professionalism, the meal that you prepared for me at your residence was superb! I truly enjoyed the opportunity to meet and become acquainted with the other members of your family. I look forward to further interaction in the future possibly at me new home when I am all settled.
Sincerely, Matthew J. Delano

(Letter for Kimberly Bishop)
We have two daughter's attending the University of Florida, so we decided to purchase a condo for both an investment and a safe place for them to live. On March 19, 2007 we signed a contract to purchase this condo and went along (half of the summer before receiving a call that the condominium that we had chosen "had decided not to convert their units to condo's"). We were in a panic mode, here it was 6 weeks before our kids were starting school and they had no place to live. That is when we ere fortunate enough to be referred to Kimberly Bishop by our mortgage broker. I immediately called Kimberly and set up an appointment for our family to meet her in Gainesville. I explained what we were looking for and what we wanted to pay. Kimberly immediately set us a t ease and assured us that there is a perfect home for our daughters in Gainesville. Upon arriving at her office (Sunday around 12:00) Kimberly welcomed us, and reveiwed about 10 different options with us as we set up our day of house hunting. She is organized, intelligent, polite, thoughtful and knows her job well. She worked with us until we found that "perfect" condo, at a better place than the first one that fell through. Kimberly went through the walk through with us and continues to give us phone calls to help us follow up on the finishing touches at our new condo. I would highly recommend using Kimberly Bishop when buying or selling any real estate. We appreciate her hard work and effort and feel that we have made a new friend in Gainesville!!!! Thanks again, Kimberly.

(Letter for Kimberly Russo)
To Whom It May Concern:
I recently purchased a home in Haile Plantation through the services of your agency and, in particular Kimberly Russo. It is my obligation to report on the exemplary job she performed on my behalf.
Ms. Russo went far and above what I would expect from a realtor. She guided me in an extensive search through all segments of the market that were appropriate for me. I was always able to reach her and get the answers I needed for my buying decisions. She never pressured me; encouraging me to make informed decisions. Once she went as far as to drive across town to meet me in a sushi restaurant to have documents signed.
When, in the future, I may have the need to recommend a real estate agent I will be happy to recommend Ms. Russo,
Sincerely, Arthur G. Queale

Letter for Amy Freeman.
When I went to my first day of Law School people asked me if I knew anyone in Gainesville...and I said, well "I know my realtor!"
You were the first person we met in town and it was an awesome first encounter. I'm so thankful that we had you on those first few days back in the states.
Thank you so much for dedicating your time and energy to us. You're a phenomenal realtor---thanks for always answering our calls and questions---even during the most inconvenient times.
Again, thank you! Claire and Joe

Letter for Noemi, Larry & Natalie
I wanted you to know that you have exceptional people working for you in the Bronson Office. Noemi Montes de Oca, Larry Lehning and Natalie Thomas. I am new to the house buying industry and from the very beginning Noemi took excellent care and walked me through everything. My husband passed away 2 years ago and I didn't know anything about owning a house, let alone going through the process of buying one. Noemi and Larry were very helpful, taking special care with my grandchild and elderly mother. I was impressed with Noemi from the first time I spoke with her on the telephone. She was upfront and knowledgeable with the area I was interested in. She was always patient and understanding, never once made me feel like I didn't know anything. She always explained things thoroughly. When things didn't sound right to her she made calls to straighten them out and got me answers when I was unable to. She took extra time with my grandchild and mother making them feel included in the long process. My grandchild asks about her and Larry all the time. Noemi called me constantly and kept me up to date on everything. I never once had to ask her the status of my offer. Natalie worked the seller's side and was helpful in getting the offer and making sure things went through as scheduled.
It is not often that you find a great bunch of people in one office and go the extra mile to make a person feel comfortable. Many, many thanks to Natalie and your office for the exceptional service I received and continue to receive. I will recommend your office to everyone I know looking for a realtor and most importantly, excellent service.
Respectfully, Laurie Stevens Carol Cox
