“Can’t believe how complicated it is to sell something so simple to buy 40 years ago!” the sellers wrote to Warner. “We appreciated how you took the time to explain everything to us and walked the whole way through it with us. The world has gotten so complicated since we bought it. It was so helpful that you organized all the material you had us send you and put it into a marketable product. We feel that you took the time to understand what we wanted and went the extra mile to make it happen. You were always there with the time to answer any questions we had. We feel that you found the buyers who fit the property well.”
The seller continued, “The thing that really stood out to me was the way you kept us in the loop throughout the process. We never had to wonder what was going on, as we got a progress call from you personally every few days. Any time we can, we will recommend you.”
