Dear Fay:

On the heels of the success of our recently completed sale of our home I felt compelled to write a short note to express my thanks for your assistance on the second of two transactions you have helped us with in the last eighteen months.

As a practising commercial real estate broker, and having served a number of major global corporate clients in that capacity (including BP, Citigroup and most recently Microsoft), I have developed very high standards for professional performance and conduct which you, along with your team, were able to meet. This is especially impressinve when considering the complexity of the two transactions, which included a high sensitivity to cost/price, aggressive schedules with firm milestone dates and mitigation of risk associated with the potential conflict of interest created by your dual agency (representation of both the buyer and seller in our first transaction). You effectively tread the line between both buyer and seller, not betraying the trust or confidentiality of either party, ultimately driving to a fair deal for all parties.

We selected you initially based on your experience and direct market knowledge and in hindsight benefited from both. We couldn't be happier with the results you helped us achieve and will always look back fondly on our partnership. Thanks again.

Very truly yours,

Nick Foussianes
