House is Sold!!

Well.. a major, major milestone!  Sold in 4 days.  I'm going to post the reference letter for our agent -- who was amazing.

Looks like we will leave January 22.  Visa appointment this Friday (Dec.11)

The Shawn Lepp Team

It's not often my wife Odette and I take time to write about a service or product we have purchased, or a vacation we have taken that exceeded our expectations. But we're going to make an exception here.

We are moving to London, UK and as you can imagine, planning has been going on for some time.  Two years in fact!   One of the last items (and the largest) was selling our home.  Everything, and we mean everything depended on the sale going well. We considered a low cost brokerage in the summer and we were really thinking that we would go that way.  Our thinking was that we had to maximise every penny from the sale.

Just by chance,  I filled in a form on Shawn's site to get an idea of what the house was worth -- and that began our relationship with Shawn.

Shawn visited us and we told him that we really weren't up for paying a high commission. He listened to our concerns and then patiently went though a very professional presentation that explained in detail the service that he and his team offers.  At the end of the presentation, we felt that Shawn and team were value for money.  From the staging to the photographs, to the marketing.. all first class. It's like when you go to a good restaurant; you don't mind paying a little more.  You are getting value for your money.

When we saw what Sue did to stage the house (transformed it with our own 'stuff!'), the photographs -- which were in a word, amazing, we knew we had made the right decision.

Our home was sold in a matter of days and for slightly more than we would have taken as well.

Recommending Shawn is easy.  Professional, respectful and most importantly, he and his excellent team simply do what they say they will do!
