I just received the letter below from a client who closed her sale in September. She was happy to let me share it with you: 

To Whom It May Concern:
Since 2009 it has been my pleasure to know and work with Michael Lescher by serving together on the Plan Commission of the Village of Fox Lake. 

When I decided to sell my lakefront home in July 2011, I contacted and interviewed four Lake County Realtors who evaluated my home and suggested a list price. My goal was to list my home with the one who conveyed the most experience in today's volatile market and provided the best personal service. 

All of the realtor candidates offered approximately the same range for home pricing, services, listing sites (online, MLS, etc.), and advertising media. Michael, however, distinguished himself from the others on several counts. I felt very confident in choosing him as my Realtor and listed my home with him in mid-July.  

He exhibited extraordinary knowledge of the history and current situation in the housing market. He serves as corporate vice-president of ReMax Showcase. His entire support team, office staff and Real Estate Attorney, proved to be very professional, competent, and I enjoyed working with them. All provided excellent, prompt, friendly service. 

Michael presented me with an offer on my home on July 27 after 8 buyer showings. At this point his intelligence and eloquence as a negotiator proved invaluable. All Realtors offer virtually the same services, but a few of these are unique to the best in this business. The ability to negotiate a successful contract is vital and this is one of Michael's greatest talents.  

His tenacity came to bear in researching
and finding examples of a number of comparable home sales that supported the asking price. His
persistence and business savvy resulted in a signed contract on August 4. Much to my delight, the sale price was higher than I (and the other 3 Realtors I interviewed a month before) had expected. Closing on my property was successfully completed September 14. 

My entire experience with Michael as my Realtor was excellent. His calm, steadfast demeanor, exceptional communication skills and business acumen enabled me to make informed decisions with confidence throughout the process. Michael is a pleasure to work with and I recommend him highly, without reservation, as a listing or selling Real Estate professional. 

Sincerely,
