Dear Mr. Schmitt - Just a note to tell you how pleased we were with our agent Lela Ashkarian. We have bought and sold several homes over the past few years, and our experience with Lela was by far the best. She helped us purchase the perfect home in a difficult market and then helped us sell another property at a price far higher than we dreamed possible. Lela worked for us tirelessly throughout the process and was a strong advocate for our wants and needs. She provided excellent advice, kept us fully informed, and documented every communication. Lela assembled an outstanding team of professionals to support these efforts, with special mention of the valuable contributions by Natalie Ardis and Tom Wright. In summary, we were extremely pleased with the effectiveness and professionalism of Coldwell Banker Schmidt Real Estate in serving our real estate needs. Sincerely, Brian & Mary Lou C Dear Brian, 1/7/2020 We are so happy with our new home on Tingler and all that happened behind the scenes to make this happen. To that end, I wanted to share with you how pleased we are with Lela. She is the ultimate dynamo professional. I am impressed with her ability to quickly frame our needs, deal with our complicated lives (doing deal remotely), and packing in a lot of homes when we were able to be in Marathon. While I am sure she juggles multiple clients, when we were there we felt as though we were the only customer. Thanks to her passion, persistence, and professionalism we now have our retirement home. I am sure your fingerprints are on the transaction as well @. Thanks to your great team at Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate! Happy Holidays! Alex and Kristin M. *** Dear Mr. Schmitt, 9/2/2020 I recently had the opportunity to work with one of your agents, Lela Ashkarian, on the purchase of my new home over on Sadowski in Key Colony Beach. I have to tell you that I have bought and sold about a dozen properties over the years and this was, far and away, the best experience I have had, thanks to Lela. She is knowledgable, caring, and professional and I felt very well represented throughout the transaction. Please tell Lela how much I appreciate her expertise and service. If I sell or buy another property, Lela will be my agent. Thank you for your time and consideration.
