Dear Chris,
Although the closing of my home is well behind me (June 23, 2011), and I met with you in person back in May to tell you about the 2 year “adventure” Darla Blowers and I had been on to sell my Southbury home, I wanted to write you so you would have something on file, as a reference, for future “lucky” home sellers/buyers who are fortunate enough to meet Darla Blowers and work with her on any/all real estate transactions.
My story is complicated, and long, and started in May 2009 right after I filed for divorce, and ended with a self initiated short sale in June 2011. During this time, my house was marketed by your office, with Darla being the ultimate professional in dealing with the ups and downs of my personal situation.
After initially trying to sell the home during the divorce, with Darla patiently working through a house full of animals (who weren’t exactly house trained), Darla had many showings, and never complained about the difficult situations that each showing presented, due to my personal situation. After my divorce was finalized in June 2010, I decided to rent out the property- having Darla market the house, and she was able to find a renter the ‘night before’ the house went on the market.
When my home went on the market in February 2011, Darla was able to set up showings on the first day, and successfully sold it to a wonderful family, who then joined our “adventure” as Darla and I worked through the nightmare called “dealing with Bank of America on a short sale”. During the tumultuous 4 ½ months of my dealings with Bank of America, Darla acted as the agent directly with the bank, relative to uploading documents over and over, as the bank would “lose them”, calling the bank several times each week/day throughout the process, and then successfully guiding the agent assigned to our short sale to the finish line (believe me, no easy job!), in what I have been told was ‘record time for initiating and closing on a short sale’.
As you can imagine, our buyers were on the sideline throughout this process, anxiously awaiting final approval on the sale by the bank, while not knowing for sure whether it would ever get approved. Darla managed to keep them completely updated, “in the loop” throughout the process, and even arranged a meeting for all of us so I could review files I had kept on the home, the details behind the pool maintenance, water softener, etc etc. Darla was the ultimate professional throughout this entire process, and although this letter doesn’t quite capture the essence of the amount of work / hardship/ stress she endured throughout the 2 years of working with me, I can factually tell you that my home would never have sold and I would not have ever been approved for the short sale process if it hadn’t been for Darla Blowers.
I am hopeful that your organization recognizes what an amazing agent you have in Darla Blowers! She went well beyond the call of her job responsibilities, and I will be forever grateful for her help, insights, proactiveness and honesty in helping me during a very stressful 2 years of my life.
If your office ever gives out an award- please be sure to honor Darla Blowers as a recipient. It is rare to meet someone in your profession who takes to heart a person’s individual situation, empathizes so passionately, and demonstrates an attitude everyday to do whatever it will take to help a client/buyer & seller in achieving their goals. She is certainly “one of a kind”!
It was a privilege and an honor to meet, work with, and get to know Darla Blowers.
