A recent Gaston Gazette article talks about the financial struggle for the developers of Eagle Park, in Gaston County, NC. The article comments on how the developer came in at the top of the market and had to walk away due to the market shift. But not all lots, homes and townhomes were included in the financial woes.
“Approximately 34 single family homes and 16 townhomes at Eagle Park were not included in the foreclosure. Those lots have been completed, sold and are now occupied” Sales continue to happen in Eagle Park and the Belmont area is as hot as ever. Eagle Park was designed for people who work in Charlotte but want to live in an area with a small town feel.
I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know what a great asset Molly Collins is to your company. I recently purchased my first house in December of 2011 and Molly was nothing short of awesome throughout the whole process. Like most people purchasing their first house, I was skeptical and even nervous about taking the big plunge but Molly alleviated everyone of those fears. She was not only professional and extremely knowledgeable about the whole process, but she had a calming, personable demeanor that was able to put my mind at rest whenever there were concerns. I can't tell you how many times she went out of her way to set up appointments on my behalf (i.e. inspections, glass repair, etc.). All in all, Molly was a pleasure to work with and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I tell everyone I know who's even remotely thinking of purchasing to at least give her a call. In fact, I recently told one of my good friends about her and she is now working with Molly, and they actually just put an offer on their first house. She also couldn't be happier with her decision to work with Molly.
Working with Molly, I'm sure you can attest to everything that I've said in this letter. Too many times, people write letters or call companies to complain, but rarely do they take the time to point out great customer interactions. Well this was definitely on of those times. The kind of people a company hires speaks volume about the company itself, and Helen Adams has a winner in Molly. So thank you for having such great people work for you. You have earned a loyal customer, and I will continue to share your name with anyone I know who's in the market.
