Dear Paul,

Selling your home of 29 years can be quite a task! Luckily we had you to help with the sale. I highly recommend your agency. You were forthright, honest, reliable and persistent. Frankly, not all Realtors® could stand up to these qualities.

There is no doubt in my mind that if there was a way for the sale of our farm to happen and in the special time frame we needed, that you, Paul, were going to make it happen."

Best regards and many thanks to you
and all your staff.

Dear Paul,

...You have a wonderful team at Harsch Associates and we were so pleased to work with Jackie and Judy. Jackie went above and beyond to help us, reassure us, explain things to us. Jackie was incredibly accessible even on vacation and weekends and she did a wonderful job. Judy even arranged for her nephew to help my husband move all our furniture in. You choose your people well. Thanks again.

Dear Paul,

Thank you for leading us to North Adams. The time you took with us when we first came to your office persuaded us of the pleasures of the Berkshires. Your associate, Carolyn Umlauf was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was polite, professional and tough as nails when needed. I call it the velvet hammer. She is a great addition to your office.

Thank you for everything. We could not be happier with our house. We look forward to seeing you in the Berkshires.

Dear Kevin,
What a pleasure you have been to work with! Thank you ever so much for all that you did to sell the cabin. No one could have worked harder and you always kept your cool. I very much appreciated your frequent communication and keeping me informed. Your knowledge, professionalism and patience paid off and I am immensely relieved.

Gratefully,

The property Paul Harsch sold for us was our home for over 5 years. We needed to find a broker who understood our property was our home. I had no intention of turning our home and lives into a three-ring circus, which I naively allowed during my first 'go-round' on the market."

"We called three brokers to do a market analysis. Paul set himself apart from the other two brokers during the introductory phone call:"

"Succinct. Clear. Direct."

"The first thing we noticed about Paul Harsch was that he was punctual. Paul was consistently on time for every appointment and showing for the six months we worked together. On one occasion when he was running ten minutes late, his office called prior to the appointment to let us know."

Paul's impeccable attention to detail allowed buyers to see our home while minimizing the disruption for us. My husband is an emergency physician whose schedule includes working some nights and sleeping some days. He asked for a copy of Kevin's monthly schedule and distributed this within his office. At all times, Paul showed consideration for and was sensitive to the needs of our lifestyle."

Paul proved to be a seasoned professional who understood the difference in marketing a property and marketing a home in which people are trying to live.
- He was gracious at all times in hearing our concerns so he could act in such a way as to make the process viable.
- He stayed on top of things. Our dealings with Paul were always straightforward and pleasant. Should we return to the area at some point, one of our first calls would be to Paul asking him to help us find a home."

I have been very pleased by the way you and your staff have marketed the homes of both my mother-in-law, age 89, and a valued friend and client, in her mid-80s. I particularly appreciated your sensitivity and the understanding of your staff in responding to the special difficulties of an elderly person when the time comes to sell a home of many years and to contend, at the same time, with all the transitional complications of moving to a small home and figuring out what to do with household furnishings and other personal effects. Apart from being successful in realizing good value for both my mother-in-law and my good client and friend, you were very understanding in working through with them the unfamiliar process of listing a home for sale, providing access to prospective buyers and inspectors on behalf of buyers, and the very practical reality that some days are just not good days for an elderly person, hence the need to be flexible in scheduling. I can attest to the fact that you and your staff made them both feel as okay as they could about such a fundamental change in their lives.,"

The wisdom of our decision to select you and your team to represent us in the sale of our home has been proven in the most positive manner. Thank you for: (1) your unrushed, professional and personal exploration of our needs and interests, (2) your thorough responses to our many questions, (3) your clear and frequent communication with us (by phone, fax, email and letter) before and during the sale process, (4) your excellent marketing program and (5) the net result. We are very pleased that we selected you from among several options that were available for all the reasons stated above, but also for our delight in getting to know you personally. Thank you, again, for your efforts on our behalf. Best Regards."

My wife and I had concluded early on that we needed a special broker in representing our interest in the sale of our Lanesborough property. We were not disappointed. The professionalism with which you approached your task and the diplomacy you demonstrated in the negotiations were exemplary. Your skillful orchestration of the final discussions was admirable and left both parties with positive feelings after consummating the purchase and sale agreement. Thank you for your guidance and counsel."

Now that we've finally had the opportunity to settle into our new house a bit, we wanted to thank you for all your efforts with the purchase of our house. While we realize you were acting on behalf of the sellers, we nonetheless felt that we were well served by the effort of you and your staff. Dawn also deserves special commendation for her frequent calls, friendly efficiency and thorough help."

During the time that Mr. Harsch represented us, he demonstrated a level of competence and dedication to the job that I have not had the pleasure to experience in dealing with other real estate brokers. Paul's professional demeanor, attention to detail, and empathetic response to my needs during my time on the market is a standard for other to emulate. Without reservation, I encourage you to take advantage of Mr. Harsch's expertise if you are in need of a real estate broker."

I would like to take this moment to personally thank you. You helped to make the purchase of our home a reality. My wife and I are truly appreciative of all of your efforts. Your honesty, candor, patience and guidance played a huge role in our ability to purchase our new home. I could not be more ecstatic about the house. Words neither adequately describe how fortunate we feel to own this incredible property nor the debt of gratitude that we owe you. Thank you once again."
