I was entrusted with the sacred responsibility of settling someone’s estate, and it was my first time navigating the sale of a home. I am deeply grateful for Tom’s steady presence and guidance throughout the entire process. I truly could not have done it without him. I feel both grateful and blessed.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing this letter to offer my highest possible recommendation for Olivia Hanson of Realty One Group. After interviewing four other real estate agents, I am convinced that choosing Olivia Hanson was the best financial decision I could have made. In 2025, the real estate market faced significant headwinds. Interest rates had climbed to their highest levels in over twenty years, creating a difficult environment for sellers. Four other agents I consulted suggested a much lower listing price, citing the high interest rates and market cooling as justification. Olivia Hanson saw the value that others missed. While other agents focused on the economic challenges, Olivia focused on the property's unique strengths and implemented a superior marketing strategy. I created a difficult environment for handling the sale as I requested that the property not display a "for sale" sign. In addition, I did not want the property listed in a multiple listing service. One of the four realtors seeking the listing was a top agent at the area's largest real estate brokerage. This agent suggested I list the property at a lower price and defer the marketing until Spring 2025, rather than listing it in January. Olivia sold the property for $150,000 more than the other four agents had suggested as an eventual sale price, and the property closed on March 3, 2025. Olivia navigated my difficult listing requirements and demonstrated an understanding of the property, which required a special effort in contacting potential buyers. Olivia's aggressive marketing, confidence, and refusal to settle for a "safe" low price resulted in a sale in just a couple of months, with a financial outcome superior to the other agent's forecast of $1,500,000.00. If you want an agent who looks past the headlines and works to get you the true value of your home, look no further. Sincerely, Richard Leeds
