I am pleased to hae this opportunity to submit a letter of recommendation for Joe Plourde-a person with whom it was a sincere pleasure to do business with. Joe worked extremely hard to sell my home, and I felt compelled to write this letter. Joe took the listing for my house at a very difficult time of year for real estate sales-only a month and a half before the end of the year holidays. He started advertising and marketing my house almost immediately. A professional sign was placed very neatly on my front yard and another sign was placed at the corner of my street (I live on a cul-de-sac) to attract any and all potential buyers driving by. He continued to produce showings of my home to interested and qualified buyers. Joe was always available to answer any and all of my questions no matter what they were or when I called him. This is the first time I have ever sold a home, and I had so many questions. Joe was always there for me, as a real estate agent, and as a friend. He is a very compassionate person with a thorough understanding of the anxieties and pressures of selling a home, especially in these tough times the real estate market is experiencing. He was able to find a qualified buyer for me, one that would meet my asking price without a lot of hassle. I feel he did a terrific job in matching the buyer and seller in my case, as I am sure he does with every real estate transaction he is involved with. I would recommend Joe Plourde as a real estate agent to anyone selling real estate under any circumstances. He followed through with every detail on the sale of my home from beginning to end. He was tolerant of my many phone calls and endless questions, reassuring me every step of the way. I find him to be a solid and honest business man that has the knowledge and drive to get the job done. Give Joe a chance to work for you. I am sure you will not regret it. I am very glad I did. It made all the difference to myself and my family.

I never would have believed that within about two months of signing our buyer-broker agreement I'd be in my first home! I am so excited about this lovely historic [i.e., ramshackle] place and can't wait to begin putting togethermy five-year plan. I want you to know how much I have appreciated your low-key, even-handed, level-headed and always helpful way of handling this process and of dealing with me. Thank you also for beig available and encouraging, but not pushy; it really made a big difference and went a long way in making me feel comfortable. You have markedly improved my opinion of realtors. (I'm sure that means a lot coming from a lawyer!) I have especially appreciated your taking me at my word when I described the type of house I wanted and the amount of money I felt comfortable spending. In the past, realtors have either refused to believe that a single woman should be sold a "handy man's special" or that an attorney should be sold a home for under $100,000.00. I know I could not have done better than my little beauty in Windsor. In fact, throughout the purchase and sale process I tortured myself by looking in homes magazines and watching those real estate TV shows--believe it or not, I still like my house and its price better than anything I saw. Unfortunately, because I have enjoyed looking at homes, I will miss that aspect of house-hunting. I will happily recommend you to my friends; and who knows, since you are licensed in Mass. you may be able to eventually find my brother a house! I don't know when the housewarming will take place, but I hope you and your wife [and your "assistant"] will be able to make it. Thanks again for your help. It has been a pleasure working with you.

Dear Joe, I want to thank you for all the services you have extended to me and my Mother's estate. After a year of another's marketing and no action at all, you succeeded in 90 days to sell the house. My only regret is that I didn't use RE/MAX from the beginning and that I did not realize that a 90 day contract should have been applied. This was all my error - a novice at doing this. Your approach helped me a great deal and my sister also is appreciative that the house is sold and not our responsibility any longer. Thank you for your guidance and advise. Perhaps, your shingle should include Estate Sales. Your approach is realistic regarding the 90's, as many of us in grief, find it difficult to accept the fact that properties do not have the face value of the 80's. A Much Satisfied Customer,

Joe Plourde" Sorry I had to use this paper but I haven't found all the nicities of life yet like writing paper. You have been just great, you were always available and in fact returned phone calls asap. I would refer you anytime without hesitation. You proved what I always said about you.

Thank you so much for all you did to make our first home buying experience so wonderful. I know you have had a few years of experience, but we were so new and had a lot to learn. Having you to answer all our questions and calm me when times were a little stressful meant a lot. We are both thrilled with our new home (I love being able to say "our home"). We have finally unpacked allthe boxes but are still working on the decorating. I suspect that will take some time. We enjoyed working with you and have made certain that everyone we know has heard how wonderful you are.
Kim & Ryan Starkey
Thank you for your helpfulness. It meant far more than you can guess! Thanks Joe. We really appreciate all your help.

Hi Joe we got your letter and we would like to thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. You have made our dream come true of owning our first home. We are moved in and we have started fixing up the basement. We have painted and next weekend we will put in the new floors and ceiling. Then we will paint the upstairs and start to do other things. You were the best Realtor and would recommend you to anyone we know who is looking. We would also use you in the future when we look to move up. Joe you really were a great help for us and we appreciate all you have done. We would like to make our comments known like we have seen on your website so other people who are looking could see what a big help you were to us. When we have our housewarming we would love for you to come so you could see what we have done cause without you this dream might not have come true for us. We hope all is well with you and tell Mrs. Plourde we say hi and wish you all the best. We will be in touch Joe Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Stefanie and Mike
