Exerpts from "fan mail" to and about Teri Malone [Teri provides full copies of her fan mail to new clients]
"Teri, your high energy is contageous. Thank you so much for sticking with us and finding us our beautiful new home."
"Teri, just wanted you to know that as I promised, I have emailed my entire address book and told my friends "If you're thinking of selling, don't make a move until you talk to Teri Malone. She is a very caring realtor who will not promise you the world unless she can deliver -- which most likely she can!"
"Selling one home and buying another would have been a nightmare without Teri Malone. Not only did she negotiate a great price for our new home, she sold our old one for $42,000 more than we asked for it. Awesome!"
"Teri Malone sold me my first home and handled all of the details so efficiently that when I got married and wanted to move, I called Teri. She was increditlbe and negotiated the "deal of the century" for us. We closed and moved in just 5 weeks!"
"Teri, as you know, before we met you, we intereviewed 2 other realtors. One said she would list our home for $650,000; the other thought he could sell it for around $700,000. Thankfully, Pam suggested we call you. I still can't believe you talked us into listing it for $800,000, and I can tell you we were very nervous about that -- until, of course, you sold it for $792,000 in just 32 days! We are recommending you to all our NJ friends."
"Teri's commitment to her clients is awe-inspiring. Even after our first offer fell through and we were ready to give up, Teri searched for 3 months and found us our dream home. Then she sold our old home for full price in just 2 weeks!"
"Mr. Tekel, I'm in the banking industry and I work with professionals all day long. Even so, I've rarely met someone as dedicated and professional as your agent, Teri Malone. When my wife and I got the 3rd low offer on our home, we were ready to take it. Teri said to wait, that she had some ideas. She sent a brochure to the attorneys in town, and it worked. One of them made a nearly full-price offer! Like she promised, Teri looked out for us and wouldn't give up -- even when we were ready to. I congratulate you on having someone so worthy of the title "professional."
"Can't imagine ever using another realtor but Teri Malone. Not only did she get us 3 full-price offers for our home in this "down" market, she even sat at our new house to wait for the gas company and water company so we'd have utilities when we got home from work on the day we closed! Teri Malone is not just a realtor, she's a friend."
"Teri, I want to reiterate what I told you last week. You are a real professional. Bill and I were astonished at how rude and abrasive our buyer's realtor was. And we could hardly believe how gentle you were when you explained that the changes the buyers wanted were their responsibility. We are so glad we listed with you!"
"Teri, as I write this, the kids are out in the yard and Jim is at his new office. But I wanted to let you know that you made the whole moving thing so easy. I don't know if you realized it, but I really dreaded moving again -- 3rd time in 5 years! I had even thought about trying to get Jim to turn down the new job offer! I am so glad Marie recommended you to us (I even sent her flowers) because it was apparent from the start that you really cared -- and now that the dust has settled, I'm just loving the beautiful home you found for us. Thank you so much!"
"Teri put our home on the market just a few days before Thanksgiving. She sent out flyers and advertised it, and then put up about 25 Open House signs. She got 52 people to come to the Open House and sold it that night! We wanted to close before Christmas, and Teri got it done. Teri Malone is the best!"
"Coming from the midwest, I didn't know what to expect real estate-wise in NJ. Your agent, Teri Malone, was very patient with me and her knowledge of the Scotch Plains-Westfield area is very thorough. We closed on our new home in July and we couldn't be happier. Thank you for having such professionals on your staff."
"Initially, we tried to sell our home on our own, but after a couple of weeks of only a few people looking at it, we were frustrated. We met Teri Malone at an Open House. Teri said our home was under-priced at $439,000. We hired Teri and it was the best thing we ever did! She added $50,000 to the price and brought us a buyer at nearly full price within a few weeks."
"Teri, thank you so much for suggesting that my daughter and her husband consider an upscale townhome instead of the 1900's colonial that was charming but promised to be a money-pit. As you know, they are thrilled with their new "digs" and my wife and I are very grateful that they were working with you."
"When my wife and I decided to sell our home of 35 years, we didn't know Teri Malone. We met Teri when she brought us a buyer, and we're so glad we did. When things came up in the inspection, Teri got us repair people and made sure everything was taken care of. We now know it matters who you hire as a realtor, and we want you to know that Teri Malone is one of the few caring professionals out there."
"You are to be congratulated on having such a professional staff of people at your Westfield office. Starting with Teri Malone, whose fantastic marketing ideas brought us a stellar offer for our home, to Alice Campbell who arranged for our buyer's mortgage and made sure we closed on time. My attorney agrees with me, saying that he's rarely had a deal go so smoothly. I will recommend your office, and Teri Malone and Alice Campbell, especially, to everyone I know."
Teri, thank you so much for all your help in getting our home ready to sell. I still can't believe how you got Ed to do all those repairs (I'd tried for years wthout success!), and I know that's the only reason our home sold so quickly and for full price. We're starting to settle in here in Seattle, and I almost don't miss Westfield -- almost!"
"Teri, even though I decided to put off moving to NJ, I want you to know that I am very impressed with you as an agent. I really felt cared for while working with you, and I very much appreciate all the information you sent to me regarding programs that might work for my son. When I decide to move, I will definitely call on you. Thank you again for your patience and help."
