Letter from very happy Larkpur sellers

July 20, 2005

Dear Pat and Bob,

I'd be lying if I said we've been busy as bees, getting settled and house
hunting. We've actually been doin a whole lot of 'nothin'...and enjoying it
immensely. We've actually had time to let down, rest up and reflect on our
good fortune.

You were both a huge part of our transition and we know now, having had a
little experience with agents, that your responsiveness and experience in
real estate made the successful sale of our house happen. And...it happened
quickly, professionally and to our great satisfaction. You were both
wonderful. You pitched in beside us, got us motivated and gave us prudent
advice...which we tried to follow to the letter...because we trusted your
judgment.

To be able to look at our situation and give us the best avenue of approach
all the way up to the end when we had to decide on our offers...was no small
feat. We went on the market at $1,495,000 hoping we would get that.
Through your understanding of the current trends, good timing and assessment
of where the best offer would be, you encouraged brisk bidding that produced
not only more than $100,00 over our asking price, but you somehow brought
that up another $100,00 to give us a final total of $1,700,000 -- well beyond
our greatest expectations!

You really promoted our cause and we thank you so much for that. I'm
amazed that neither Johnny or I ever had butterflies during the most
important sale of our lives. I consider that a small miracle...you get the
credit for that. There's really no letter long enough to express our gratitude.
We thinkyou're the best in the field and wish you the very best in all things.

We'll get in touch when we finally decide on a permanent home...of course
you will have an open invitation to visit and do a little recreating (I love
that word).

Bless you both,
Nancy and Johnny Bell
