Thanks for the monumental effort to get us all of the papers from the building department and faxing the entire "bible".  You probably do know how much your attention to our needs means.  We appreciate this huge effort ... I know you could be home watching the Lakers, the Dodgers, or reruns of Seinfeld...

Sincerely,
Susan and Charles

Occasionally you run into those truly exceptional people who are willing to "go the extra mile" for others, and when you do it reaffirms your faith in humanity.

Al Keys is such a man.  He has been working with us for several months, helping us not only to manage the sale and purchase of our family homes, but also to make all the attendant changes as a family with minimum of stress.

He has been not only our agent, but also advisor and caring friend.  It is possible that, without his initiative and extra effort, we would not have been able to make the move we

Yours sincerely,
Dottie and Desmond M

Without question, the most RESPONSIVE agent we have ever used... and now that we have found him, we need no longer search for anyone else.  Al Keys is someone who will be honest, concerned about our needs and who gets us the information and answers to our questions QUICKLY!  His focus is on our well-being throughout the transaction and not the closing of the deal.  He is a STAR!

AL,

Thank you so much for all your expert advice and tireless energy!  We are enjoying our new house and feel it was the right choice for us.  We also want to thank you for your generous house-warming gift; it will be well used.

Yes Al, the check came yesterday.  I would like to take a moment to thank you for your services.  You performed exceptional and handled things diligently.  You had more to do with me being away in Georgia and you took care of everything that came up and on top of that very economically.  I am comfortable in saying that you can also rely on my parents also for any referrals.

Thanks again, Tom S

Mr. "Sunshine" Keys... Dear Al, Working with you is a great pleasure.  Thanks you for treating me like a million dollar client.

Fondly, Lora

Just notes to thank you for helping me have a successful year.  Our escrow on La Gama Way went so smoothly it was heaven. You also had a great client :) I look forward to my next purchase with you.
