October 7, 2015To Whom It May Concern:I am writing this letter on behalf of Doug Stillwagon, Realtor with Northwood Realty. My husband and I just bought our third home and we went from a 2 story colonial to a one floor condominium. We had never lived in a condominium before and were very fortunate to have Doug as our realtor. Without us even knowing what to ask, Doug educated us on HOA, reserve funds, and condo bylaws.Doug is a very thorough, organized, and conscientious realtor. Not only did Doug show us condos, but we also listed our current home with him. Doug sold our home within the first couple of weeks of listing it, so he realized the importance of us needing to move quickly. He always made time to show us condos when it was convenient for us, as my husband and I work opposite shifts, and he always made us feel like we were the only client he was working with. If I sent him a list of properties we would like to look at, he would follow up with appointment times that had already been confirmed to see the very next day. In addition to Doug being an excellent realtor he also brings a great deal of knowledge and experience in all facets of buying a new home. Knowing that we were downsizing from a 3 bed, 4 bath home to a condominium, he would always say will your furniture fit in this room, will you have enough storage, do you like this flooring, will you need to add costs for replacing carpeting, etc.… He would always bring things to your attention that you may not be thinking of, and he always weighed the pros and cons with you afterwards.As a Human Resource Supervisor I am very meticulous and Doug could see this and pointed out certain things on properties he would take us to see. I feel as though Doug goes above the call of duty as a realtor, he connected us with a banking institution, electrician, contractor, etc… any referral we asked for, he had to me within minutes. He also made recommendations on affordable remodeling that we wanted to do, such as granite, cabinetry, tiling. All of which were extremely professional and trustworthy referrals that I would never have found on my own.In closing, Doug isn’t just looking to sell to get a commission, he’s looking to sell you a home to love and create new and happy memories. I would without a doubt refer Doug to my family and friends.Sincerely,Joanne Componation
