Comments from our ‘after closing’ Buyer and Seller Survey Sheets


Jan did a great job - we were really happy with her service. We are very happy that we chose to work with Coldwell Banker Bill Beck and Jan Bark - selling our house went smoothly (or so it seemed to us) and was a quick process, even in this market. We will recommend Jan and Coldwell Banker to any of our friends in Addison County who are looking to sell or buy a house.

Went well. 78 days to contract + 35 days to sale! Thanks Judy.

Great job and thanks. Chris and Richard were both terrific.

[The sale of our property] was an incredible wonderful, efficient experience. It simply could not have been handled any better. Thank you Coleen and Jackie.

Judy Sperry was terrific to work with.

Jackie stuck with us for the 5 or so years we have been coming to the Middlebury area for house-hunting visits. What patience! She was great - as we gradually zeroed in on what we wanted for our retirement home. We so appreciate her expertise and energy and cheerfulness throughout the whole process.

Richard is a wonderful agent - we would highly recommend him.

Everything went very smoothly and fast. Thank you.

Merry Christmas!  Peter moved heaven & earth [to make this sale happen].

Chris did an excellent job. I was very pleased.

You have exceeded our expectations by having Mr. Esty oversee the sale.

Richard was most helpful in many ways. Our thanks to him!!

Debbie Fortier was awesome and felt like "family".

I have known Tom Broughton for many years and find him to be as conscientious and honest as ever I knew him. I thank him for his help and suggestions during the selling period.

Coleen is a first rate real estate agent! She is extremely knowledgeable and competent, and a pleasure to work with. She is a tremendous asset to Coldwell Banker Bill Beck Real Estate.

Coleen & Middlebury office staff did excellent job of staying in contact - always reported on showings, either by phone or short note. I'm only sorry that we didn't use your office when we started our search for a retirement home in 2003-4.

Jackie did a great job. Thanks!

Coleen has been a total help to us.

Chris Dayton is a master -- forthright, honest & helping me get top dollar for my house, then helping me move to the place of my dreams!

We were completely satisfied with Peter and the resulting sale of our condo.

Debbie is a gem! Don't lose her. We were very happy with her assistance during the purchase of our home.

Coleen couldn't have been more supportive! We are pleased with the way our transaction was handled - completely!

Tom, I couldn't be happier with how everyone helped contribute with the sale of my property - from suggestions during construction to helping to stage, advertise and so much, the list could go on and on. Thank you!

Judy Sperry is excellent.

We are very pleased working with Coleen and would certainly recommend her to friends or associates looking for real estate in Vermont.

Tom Walsh gave us generously of his time and attention every step of the way.

I was able to see a range of different styles, setting, & land area in my price range. Jan picked strong properties for me to look at & was sensitive to my needs & desires in a piece of property. Thanks so much.

Thank you Coleen! Can't think of any better support.

Extraordinary, positive experience which spans the years - wonderful job Peter. Thank you so much for your generosity and expertise.

I know you all were pulling for me and this sale. Found out it's better to have an agent (Peter)!

Richard's service to us could not have been better.

Know you all helped get me situated. Thanks to all!

It was a pleasure to deal with professionals! Jan Bark was our agent and she was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Jan Bark was really helpful & great and we would definitely recommend her to friends.

Jackie handled the sale of our property and we really liked the follow-up comments in writing after each showing.

Richard was great. We were given everything we needed.

Coleen is, of course, THE best!

Richard Esty did a good job and I am not an easy client.

Everything was wonderful! Debbie Fortier made this, by far, the most pleasant transaction of real estate we have done. Thank you.

Jan was incredibly patient and always frank and honest with us throughout our months of house searching. She did a great job working with us!

Jackie Beacham was our agent - she was perfect! Thank you!!

Jackie was professional, thoughtful, and very clear & attentive with all issues raised. We greatly appreciate her effort & feel that Jackie, although not our Buyer-Broker was honest and straight forward with us. We trusted her completely.

Judy made our purchase a wonderful experience. Thanks.

The process was tougher than it should have been because of the sellers. Coleen helped make it manageable and we thank her for it!

Peter is wonderful! Flawless transaction.

I was completely satisfied and Judy was great! I would recommend your office to anyone. Thanks for the great job!

     Judy surpassed any expectations we had. For our first home, Judy helped us throughout the entire process. Although she was representing the Seller she helped make the entire experience much easier through her advice and knowledge. We will definitely call Judy in the future for any real estate needs we may have.
      Thank you!

Peter was a truly professional Realtor throughout the process. He represented our interests as Buyers with impeccable aplomb.

Judy's letter reminding us that she would sell our house if we wished to sell it was what made us contact her. We really appreciated the short notes about each showing and Judy's frequent phone calls.

I can't imagine how Coldwell Banker Beck Real Estate could have been more supportive. Ms. Riley is the embodiment of the ideal.

Coleen was AAA+ fabulous & backup support was good also (Jan). Very, very professional from start to finish. Coleen went out of her way to help get this transaction done.

Peter was great!

Judy was very helpful and professional.

We thank Richard for his steady support and helpful recommendations in relation to preparing the house for sale and navigating the closing.

Jan was terrific! We have been working with her for almost 2 years trying to find just the right house for us. During our many trips to look at properties, she was always patient and professional. But, most importantly, she listened carefully as we narrowed our search criteria. When the perfect house finally came on the market Jan was on the lookout. She arranged to see it the morning it was listed in the MLS and called us immediately to see how quickly we could come up to see it. She thought this was THE ONE we had been looking for and it definitely was! She was very helpful during the contract negotiation and closing process. If it weren't for Jan's efforts, we are sure we wouldn't have found just the house we were looking for in Middlebury. We couldn't be more pleased.

Judy was assertive and helped us find the best house for us without being too pushy. She did a good job.

Richard was outstanding and we were very pleased with him. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Excellent service & acted in our best interests. Thank you.

Thank you Jan! We love our home.

Jan was Great!

Thank you Jackie!

Jackie was excellent and covered all with knowledge & professionalism - above & beyond.

We were very appreciative of the phone call from Jim when the property became available. We received excellent service.

We very much appreciate all the contributions made by your Company!

Have used Jackie for 2 transactions so far with a 3rd one pending. She has been terrific! She was on top of all situations and went "above and beyond".

Judy did everything possible to make our transaction go smoothly.

We enjoyed working with Jan a lot and would gladly do so in the future if needed. We would also recommend her to others should the opportunity arise.

Judy Sperry went above and beyond in very difficult circumstances during the purchase of our home. Whatever you are paying Judy - it's not enough. She is a gem.

Jan was just great. We were very impressed with how she handled the whole sale.

Richard was great. I would certainly have no hesitation recommending his services to others.

I am completely satisfied that every aspect of promoting, advertising, showing and - last but definitely not least with this buyer - closing was handled professionally by Jackie and everyone in the CB Bill Beck office. Thanks.
While I have your attention - Habitat for Humanity of Addison County appreciates your support.

THANK YOU! We love our new house.  

Coleen couldn’t have been better!  

Jan was great. Thank you!  

We bought our slice of Vermont with you and alas, sold our little dream of rural life with you. You made it as painless as possible.  

I gladly recommend Jackie and Coldwell Banker Bill Beck Real Estate to others.

Richard was extremely attentive, always had backup information and I was completely satisfied. Esty is knowledgeable and caring – a gentleman, too.  

Richard did a superb job on a sale that should have been simple but turned out to be complicated.  

Ms. Bark did a very nice job offering sensible advice on many situations.  

It was a pleasure to have Judy help me through the purchase. She was great!  

Advertising and presentation of the property was excellent. Tom (Broughton) provided invaluable support, taking care of unexpected problems without being asked, and making sure all issues were handled to the satisfaction of the buyers. Thank you!  

You were all great – Thank you, Thank you.  

We really enjoyed working with Jan and love our new home.  

Peter is the best!

  Jackie and Jan worked very hard to make this house sale, even with customers who were a little bit particular. I appreciated everyone’s effort at resolving issues with septic, heating, house inspection, etc. I personally never thought it would get to closing, but we made it.

  It was smooth as butter. Thank you Coleen and Peter. Couldn’t ask for more.

  Chris did an exemplary job! You are fortunate to have him.

  The house sold quickly. Judy provided constant communication regarding status of sale and we appreciated that very much. Thank you for a great job.

  Judy was great! She was always available to answer our questions, etc…. and willing to work around our schedule.

Coleen was great! Being a young, single mother selling my house was very scary but Coleen helped me every step of the way.

  Anything and everything that could have gone wrong involving the sale of our Lincoln property did cause problems. But thru it all Chris was great, handled everything professionally and was always there for us. I have already faxed him a thank you note but I still don’t think it is enough.

  Richard was wonderful to work with. He kept me well informed. He wasn’t pushy with me. Just a great guy.

  Judy couldn’t have done more. She was totally available and informative. In fact, I’m still calling her with questions about the area.

  Jackie was great. Always on top of things! We would not hesitate to have her represent us again.  J

  We were very happy with your service and have recommended Coldwell Banker Bill Beck Real Estate to other people. I do not believe you could have done a better job. Thank you.

  I was impressed by Ms. Beacham’s knowledge, efficiency and communicativeness. Great job!

  Coleen was the ultimate professional. She was thorough, prompt in follow-up and very easy to work with.

  Jackie is FABULOUS. We have already recommended her to others. Thank you.

  Tom Broughton handled everything nicely knowing how difficult it was to sell the home that had been in our family for many years.

  Jackie is very helpful, efficient and easy to work with. She makes the process easy. Thank you.

  Jackie was excellent. Five months ago I had zero knowledge of real estate transactions. Jackie quickly brought me up to speed and provided the perfect amount of support. Due to a significant mistake by the seller’s agent (not your office) the transaction was not as simple as it otherwise could have been. In spite of this, Jackie remained patient and supportive throughout the process and provided excellent advice on how to deal with the seller. I will certainly recommend Jackie to my friends, which is the best endorsement I can give.

  Coleen was the best real estate broker we have ever dealt with.

  Tom (Walsh) said he would handle everything and he did. I felt our home was given great exposure and that it was recognized as being ‘unique’ and presented in that way. Many thanks.

  Coleen made our cross country relocation as smooth as silk – even found us a short term rental that would accommodate our dog. We were very grateful and happy with the care she showed us.
