To Whom it May Concern: Re: Mary E. Carrier, Associate Broker. It is with great pleasure that I am able to write this letter in connection with Mary. My husband and I came to know her very well during the course of purchasing our home. We came to rely upon her complete availability, her infinite patience, her devotion to her clients, her integrity, her honesty, her irreproachable tact and grace in negotiating, and on her extremely calming nature.

Mary’s thoroughness is also beyond compare. More than once, she did detailed market comparisons for us, based precisely on the areas in which we were looking, on the asking price of the house we were considering purchasing, on the asking and sale prices of comparable properties.

She is a fount of information, is never rushed, and provided us with telephone numbers of lawyers, carpet-layers, painters, our mortgage broker and a handyman. She remained involved with us even after the sale, constantly available for any questions or concerns we had, and always with her trademark grace and patience.

Once we had purchased our home, Mary assisted in the sale of my husband’s first house, and of the condominium in which I had been living. She finessed a difficult negotiation on our behalf well into the night, and never once pressured us into accepting less than she thought his house was worth.

Though our professional relationship has run its course, our friendship with Mary continues. We trust her implicitly and have recommended her, without hesitation, to our friends.
