"To Whom it May Concern, my comments on Katie Fanning O’Shea are based on actual experience as her client in April 2005. Katie moved fast, decided quickly and got things done at lightning speed. She combined her experience along with her intolerance for procrastination to prepare our deceased aunt’s house for sale and then to actually sold it in just a few weeks. Katie does not like to waste time. Problems that develop in the sales process do not upset Katie; she just solves them calmly and professionally. She remains pleasant regardless of inevitable stress events. Katie has a high energy level that she uses inexhaustibly. She goes way beyond the call of duty to help her clients sell their houses. She does not just sit around waiting for calls from buyers she creates the sales process. In addition to her unusual drive and speed, she also is knowledgeable in real estate and her market. She can explain the laws and rules in a way clients can understand. She advises her clients in ways useful to their decision process. She has a depth of skills and knowledge in areas of real estate that are most useful to the client and the client’s sale as soon as possible. It was actually fun to watch her mobilize her network of specialists needed for the rapid sale of our deceased aunt’s house. She helped us price it right and prepare it and present it to potential buyers. Our experience with her was excellent.

"Katie I wanted to send you a quick few words to thank you for all your work in helping us get our dream home. Your understanding, responsiveness and professionalism were second to none. We were particularly impressed with your ability to think outside the box to help us come up with a unique bid that differentiated itself from the many other offers made on our new home. Your involvement was no doubt the reason that we won out in the counter-bidding phase and that was even with a price that was equal to some of the other counter-offers! In this competitive market it really made a difference having you involved. Without your involvement there's no doubt we'd still be looking for a new house. Thank you SOOO much for doing such a great job, we are extremely happy in our new home."

"In this competitive market, you couldn't have a better agent then Katie. She makes it happen! She can turn your dream into a reality. She will find that needle in a haystack for you. She makes you feel as if you are her only client. She was available day and night to answer our million questions. She held our hands through the whole stressful process. When our loan fell through on the day our escrow was to close, she was immediately on the phone calling in favors to find us financing at the last minute. We couldn't be more thankful to have found her. When we sell our home, I wouldn't think of having anyone but Katie sell it for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an outstanding agent."
