Success Stories

We consider our clients and their confidence in our company, as the sign of true success. Some real estate agencies measure success by the volume of homes an agent or office sells - we count happy and satisfied homeowners!

The following are just a sample of some of the recent comments we have received from our clients...

"They're the best," my architect friend told me, and I'm happy to report that my experience confirmed his recommendation. From the outset, John and Judith maintained the highest standard of ethics, openness, availability, supportiveness, and diligence. Their attention to detail was great, their explanations were invariably helpful, and their sense of the market proved uncanny. One couldn't hope for smarter or nicer people to work with. Their confidence and sense of humor kept me going throughout the process." — Ted N.

"After interviewing three other real estate agents, we selected John & Judith Ratcliffe to help us sell our home and buy another. It was one of the wisest decisions we've made. We knew how important the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one were to us. John & Judith made us feel that these things were just as important to them. After doing business with the Ratcliffes, we have only one unanswered question: Why would anyone seeking to buy or sell real estate do business with anyone else?" — Larry R. And Karen B-r.

"We have several reasons for recommending John & Judith with nothing but enthusiasm. First, they are truly remarkable, interesting, ethical people who are a pleasure to be around. They approach each new situation with honesty, compassion and integrity, and this seems to bring out the best in everyone. Second, they know this real estate market exceptionally well. Their advice was nothing but trustworthy. Third, they understand how personally significant it is to move. They rightly consider themselves to be transition facilitators, and their expertise and quiet confidence were both supportive and comforting during this major transition." — Lesley & Dan Q.

"Thanks for the wonderful job you did in selling our home last summer. That was a very complex, fast-moving experience, and we appreciated your patience, your professionalism, your expertise, your advice and, most of all, your thoroughness. We definitely believe in the power of working with two agents and will recommend you with enthusiasm to our friends and associates." — Bill And Julie R.

"It was wonderful working with John & Judith as a team. They were detail oriented, and quick to respond to my telephone messages and other demands. Because there are two of them, they could provide the kind of comprehensive services which I required. I particularly appreciate the fact that I could trust them to have the information I needed at hand, and to follow through in a timely fashion. I was delighted with their services. The Ratcliffes were always very professional, and it was a pleasure working with them. I recommend their services without reservation." — -afif K.

"We found both of you to be honest, straightforward, and easy-going, and trusted you implicitly to do what was best for us. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable and experienced, you are wonderful people. Thank you again for all of your hard work. We couldn't have asked for a better selling experience." — -connie T. & Jeanne W.

"John & Judith Ratcliffe are truly an exceptional team of real estate agents. I needed to sell a home that I had recently acquired in an area that I lived far away from and did not know very well. I was anticipating the sale of this home to require a tremendous amount of work, inconvenience and travel time. But on the contrary, John & Judith made the process very easy! I was able to sell this home for a high price in a short time with very little inconvenience. I highly recommend the Ratcliffes-they are true professionals." — Kathy W.

"I have worked with many real estate professionals over the years and found your knowledge of the market, attention to detail, work ethic and enthusiasm to be exemplary. I especially appreciated the advice you provided in formulating the marketing plan to sell our former home, which sold in less than a week for far more than the asking price." — Stephen O.
