THank you notes

Following here are a group of notes that I saved in a file folder as follows. I am happy to share these in hard copy when we have our first consultation to discuss your real estate goals.
Some of what they say...
Susan, thank you for all you do plus what seems like an enormous amount of patience! Shauna***** (2006)
Susan, thank you for the “peace of mind” in selling my home. Your patience & perseverance was amazing. We selected a gift that will grace your garden so you will think of us and your “battles” on our behalf. (this is a dragon/gnome) We hope you enjoy the humor and thought that we gave it. Gracias Amiga – Stephan (2015)
Dear Susan, since 1971, for close to 31 years, I’ve been buying and selling Real Estate. I have worked with many average to proficient Real Estate Agents up and down the West Coast. This is the First time I have ever felt that I wanted to write a letter of special praise and gratitude. Not enough can be said about Susan’s expertise. Even though all agents call themselves professional, there are very few that could work with both sides of the table. As, I have found that Susan has consistently been able to do. She has the rare ability, when a deal gets a little ugly and obstacles were thrown into our path, to adeptly navigate through the mine fields. The team of skilled and talented people that you have brought to the table for us to work with was a godsend. I have been in some scary escrows before and this one was one that ended successfully. I will fondly remember everyone who you recommended that didn’t get flustered and instead found solutions for each issue that arose. Susan, thank you for being on our side. AND, being more organized and talented than anyone on your team. You made it fun and, again, saw our transaction blossom into a fully flowered asset. This was not the first time that we chose Susan to be our Real Estate agent, nor will it be the last. I glowingly recommend Susan to all our friends. Wishing you the best, Andrea **** (2012)
Personally, and on behalf of KWSS leadership I want to thank you so much for leading Ignite! Your willingness to pour into our new agents and share your experience with them is, as you know, the very thing that makes Keller Williams the greatest training organization in the World! You are the best. Charles ****
Susan & Team, your hearts are so special. Thank you for helping Sarah **** purchase her first home! I appreciate the kindness, compassion and skills to support my niece during this time. Blessings – Marrianne **** (2018)
Dear Susan! Thank you for your time. We were NOT disappointed😊 M, C & J (2020) • Susan: Thank you for your help. I don’t know what we would have done without you. We are doing fine, and the sun has peeked out over here and most people run for cover as they don’t know what it is in the sky. (HAHAHAH) Again, thank you for your help. God Bless You. Joe **** (2007)

Hi Susan, …. I just want you to know that you have made an impact on a lot of people as a shining example for people (new agents) to follow. Your kindness and warm smile brightened the office… and will be missed… I am proud that I was able to meet you. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. VR (2021)
