"...Thanks for all your help and patience..." -Lynne & Dale McCallum

"Dear Sharon,
We are extremely happy with our new house and our move to Saratoga. Without your hard work, tenacity, and perseverance, I am sure things would not have worked out nearly as well. I know that David and I both appreciated your clear understanding of what we were looking for. Undoubtedly that saved us time and kept us focused. Your skills were also invaluable in terms of negotiations with the other parties, both buyers and sellers. Much to our amazement, you kept deals from falling through when we were sure things were over!
Thank you on behalf of the entire Watkins family for your support during the past months. Also, thank you for the subscription to Sunset! Please feel free to use us as a reference with future clients.
I hope your holidays are relaxed and happy, and look forward to seeing you around Saratoga!"

Sincerely,
Laura L. Watkins

"Dear Sharon,
As the listing and sale of our home through COLDWELL BANKER draws near completion, we wish to express our utmost satisfaction with the expertise and service you have provided us.
From the start we had confidence in your professional abilities and knew we could achieve our goals by choosing you as our agent.
It was quite obvious to us that you arecommitted to our 'best interests' in every way. You explained those complex disclosure papers to us thoroughly; you wisely had us complete our inspections ahead of time; you frequently communicated with us so that we knew what to expect in every step, along the way. We loved it when you told us 'not to worry' as it had been 24 years since we had sold a home and being Seniors it can be an overwhelming step.
Sharon, your enjoyment of your job and keen interest in helping people make the sale of a home not just a cold business transaction but rather a pleasant transition for the seller to a new life in another home.
Thank you so very much. It's no wonder that you are such a successful COLDWELL BANKER Broker Asociate because as far as we are concerned you are "TOPS."

Sincerely,
Dorothy & Edmund J. Law

"Dear Sharon,

Again, thanks for all you did."

Sincerely,
Lynne & Dale McCallum
