| Dear Larry and the rest of the Save6 team, I want to send you a great big thank you. Your company and service is outstanding! From the first time I called with my initial questions and inquiry to my final call telling you that my house was sold, I had nothing but positive experiences. The two things that stand out in my mind are your speedy response times and your assistance with contract forms. You were very fast getting the ball moving with posting my listing on the Internet and the MLS and putting the sign in the yard. (By the way, I love that sign. It looks very professional.) You were quick to go in and correct my listing when I discovered that the number of bedrooms was wrong. And, you were always quick to return calls. I want to thank you Larry, specifically, for reading over and advising me when I wrote that long and difficult addendum to my original contract offer that ultimately fell through, and I want to thank you for being there and guiding me during those couple of hours I spent one evening typing up all the contract and addendum forms for my second offer that was a straight for sale by owner and led to the sale of my house. I was so clueless as to which forms needed to go with the contract and which didn't. It was a nerve racking couple of hours, but you made the process so much easier. You always sound so overwhelmed and busy when I have you on the phone, and I can't remember a phone call when we weren't interrupted at least once by someone in the office, but you never missed a beat during our conversations or took your attention away from my needs. Your multi-tasking skills are superb! On a scale of 1 to 10 I'll give you a 12!!! Thank you again for everything, and I have already and will continue to recommend you to others. And, if you ever have any potential clients who ask for someone to call for a reference, don't hesitate to give them my number, I'll tell them how wonderful you are. | ||

| I wanted to express my deep appreciation for your invaluable assistance dedicated service, and first-class support which led to the successful sale of my Washington, DC house. You were always there when I needed you; you dealt with me, my prospective buyers, and other agents with open mind, open heart, and open hand; your response was always prompt and your service made and your service made a real difference. And, of course, you helped me save a bundle on real estate commissions. It is a blemming to have you around. You have earned by respect and my loyalty forever. | ||

| Larry , I love the way you do business! My results were fabulous - 2 well-qualified buyers offering full price and minimal contingencies the day after listing with you. You got me on the MLS within an hour on Friday afternoon, and your "FOR SALE" sign appeared the next morning, just in time for my weekend showings. The package of real estate forms was invaluable, because buyer agents need certain ones to be filled out by me before they can make an offer. Your availability as a consultant, especially to review the contracts offered by buyer agents, makes your fixed price a bargain. Earlier on, when my Washington Post ads just weren't generating visits, I almost signed up with one of your competitors. Their low price of $195 to list was a pure come-on, because I would have to pay $175 later as a mandatory "administrative fee." After adding in the sign, lockbox, and MLS modification fees, etc. your fixed price was actually less. Oh, and if I needed to talk to a person, that was another $2500! Fortunately, I remembered a friend had used a listing service successfully. And that led me to Save 6! I had reservations that the "FOR SALE BY OWNER" sign on my lawn or the "Save 6" name in the MLS would turn off buyer agents, but the traffic was most satisfactory - more showing than sitting. And were my neighbors impressed! Instead of thinking "boy, is she cheap to go FSBO!", they must be thinking "only an idiot would pay 6%". Somehow, I don't mind paying the 3% buyer agent's commission - especially after seeing how hard they work. The buyers they brought were "ready, willing, and able" - something the newspaper ads did not accomplish. I needed action! | ||

| Hi Larry – I wanted to write to you and thank you for your help with selling our condo. Your advice was incredible. You urged me to list it for $30,000 more then what I intended. We just sold our unit and received almost full price. With two offers in hand your help was instrumental in choosing the right buyer and saying the right things. The realtor for the buyer said that dealing with me made the entire process go much smoother then if she had to work through another realtor. We closed our sale within 8 days of contract negotiation. I want to thank you and your organization for saving us a lot of money and making us a lot of money. I am an extremely satisfied customer. Thank you for everything, | ||

| Dear Larry, I wanted to let you know how pleased my wife and I are with the service we received from you at Save 6 in the sale of our home. We had to move our house fast as part of a Navy transfer. Before choosing Save 6, we spoke with several "traditional" real estate agents who wanted to sell our home for commissions ranging from 5% to 7%. One agent actually told us whether the home sold itself (like ours) or was a "hard to sell property", they had to charge an equitable commission to all their clients (no less than 5%) to cover their advertising costs'. They actually told us, with a s.traight face, that we should pay others' advertising costs!! That prompted me to call "Save 6". Your advertising was extremely effective. The sign was barely up before we were under contract and I'm still fending off calls. We listed Friday before the Memorial Day weekend and by Monday, had 5 solid offers. We saved over $20,000 in real estate commissions, a win-win situation for the buyers and us. I appreciate that you were only a phone call away when I had questions and your advice in assessing the offers we received was very helpful. I have recommended Save 6 and the FSBO route to all of my friends, neighbors and colleagues who are even toying with the idea of selling their homes. PS - Please come get your sign - so I can stop repeating, "No, I'm sorry. The house is sold! Sincerely, | ||

| To all of you out there who are wondering if you should try "for-sale-by-owner:" The team at Save 6 will do whatever they can to help you be successful. Save 6 provided us with all the forms we could possibly need, described the process to us in detail, advised us along they way on things we could possibly need, described the process to us in detail, advised us along the way on things we were not sure about, did some very creative thinking and reassuring when a sticking point came up in negotiations with the buyer's agent. Save 6 does an outstanding job. Guarding the complicated paperwork involved in selling a home and in the end helped us save a very big bundle on commissions. They are your "behind the scenes" support team. The "out front" part of the team that makes this work is you. As you may be aware, we are now in a buyers market. Prices are not as high as they were a year ago, and the pressure is on realtors to price homes competitively in a glutted market and still get their full commissions. Before you sign with Save 6, think about asking several realtors to give you a proposal. They will give you their perspectives on the market, a list of comparables, recommendations on price (that of course factors in 6 percent in sales commissions), and they will identify key improvements you should make to have you home show well. They will also try to convenience you their serves are absolutely essential in a buyers market, but that is not so. Once you have this valuable info, you can make a very informed decision. Buyers are looking for the best price. Using Save 6 allows you to reduce your price below realtor listed properties by avoiding up to 6 percent in commissions (be prepared to pay up to 3 percent to a buyer's agent). Be pricing your home very competitively, you can afford to invest in improvements that will make your home look better than the rest, and still be ahead on cash in the end. | ||

| Dear Larry, Recently, I sold my Gaithersburg townhouse for $294,500. I listed the property with Save 6, and within 4 days was holding a ratified contract, saving me $10,370.50 in realtor commissions. The only expenses I incurred were the nominal Save 6 fee, a few For Sale By Owner signs to direct traffic for the open house, and photocopy expenses for the Open House flyer I created on Word and duplicated at Staples, showcasing the features of the townhouse. After my initial meeting with you, I had no concerns about selling my own home. The professional backup and counsel afforded to me throughout the process by you and your team gave me confidence that the sale would go through smoothly … and it did. Your great command of the procedures involved in the selling cycle provided valuable assurance. Your insights were wise and it was easy for me to reach you when I had questions. I especially liked the rationale you provided for setting the asking price and the detailed manner with which you reviewed the sales contract. In fact, I’m so pleased with Save 6 that my wife and I plan to use your services again, in the very near future, to sell our condo! I know I’ve thanked you via telephone, but I wanted to make sure I formally expressed my gratitude as well, for assisting me in professionally and efficiently selling my own home. I would be pleased to serve as a business reference for you, if ever you should need it. Sincerely, | ||

| Dear Larry: I would like to take a minute to say how happy we were with our decision to list our house with Save 6. We had multiple contracts over our asking price and saved many thousands of dollars by eliminating a full price broker. Your flat fee of $499 was a real bargain. You delivered on all of your promises and we would use your company again if we ever decide to sell our new house. Many thanks. | ||

| Dear Larry, I can not thank you enough for your help and confidence. .. I hope this letter of praise can help you in some way I know when I got letters of thanks it helped my evaluations at work. Thank you SOOO much. Please use this picture enclosed for the website. I would like to have it back though, after you copy it. Hopefully I have called you by the time you get this snail mail. If not, this is my plan... I wish to have the house taken off the market and put back on May 29th. The price is going to change !!!!! we will have had it appraised by mid May. Also, please send me another copy of a contract. I filled this one out to make sure I have everything for the next time but want to have a blank copy just in case I make a mistake. Thanks, | ||

Your exceptionally helpful and respbnsive services enabled me to reach so many qualified, prospective buyers and their agents. The eventual buyer and his agent were wonderful to work with.

| Dear Debby I would like to thank you for your superior service in assisting me and my wife sell our first home, You made the whole process simple, Save Six provided the marketing channels necessary to sell my first home without all the misery associated with real-estate brokers. I actually had a "broker who offered one of hose so called free market analysis programs come into my home and try to get me to put my house on the market for ten thousand dollars less than what I sold my home for using the save six method. The whole world should know about how you make selling your home easy and more affitable. I received multiple contracts just days after listing with save six. In total I saved $6,400 dollars in brokers fees & soled my house for $10,000 more than a so called neighborhood real-estate specialist, Many thanks to Larry & Debby, | ||

| Larry, I just wanted to thank you for the able assistance you provided in helping me sell my home. You were conscientious and always quick to return my calls and answer my questions. I just formalized a contract yesterday and have several other potential buyers waiting in the wings!!! Listing my home in the MLS through Save Six provided me with excellent exposure. My labor-intensive open houses and expensive Washington Post adds were useless by comparison. By providing me with a lockbox, you enabled me to have dozens of agents show the property to their clients without me having to be on site. It was a great time saver. I had to pay the buyers broker a 3% fee, but I am very pleased that I saved more than $10,500 by not paying a listing broker a 3% listing fee. I plan to use this "free money" for special updates in my new home that I could not otherwise afford. Feel free to use me as a reference, because I would be happy to let others know that you provide a quality service at a very worthwhile price. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for all your help. | ||

| I just wanted to express my appreciation for your help in selling our home! After our home was listed with Save 6, it sold in two weeks. That is fantastic considering we had our home up for sale for a full month prior to listing with Save 6. Your services are absolutely the best value for the money. You listed our home in all places that generate the phone calls from those who are genuinely seeking homes. Before we listed, we received the phone calls from those living in the area that just happened to see our for sale sign and wanted to know what price we were asking - they weren't seeking real estate, they were just being nosey! Since we were able to save so much money not using the services of a realtor, we are now able to put that money into our new home purchase significantly reducing our new mortgage. Your services will actually save us thousands more in years to come! I've already told my friends that if they ever consider selling their homes that they must contact you, not a realtor! Best regards from a very satisfied customer, | ||

| Dear Larry and Debby - I simply can't put into words the ease and comfort I had when I listed my home for sale with your company Save Six Inc. The length you went to help me when I needed the help was exponentially more than I had every expected. You went out of your way to have a lockbox that worked for my county well after normal working hours. The paperwork was so simple and your knowledge of what I needed to do was impeccable. I knew I had made a great decision from the start. Well I thought I knew when I signed the papers. What I learned was that I had better exposure from the start with your expert help. I had 19 showings in 12 hours. Within 18 hours I had 3 offers and 6 more hours later I had accepted the offer that was right for me. I saved literally thousands of dollars and I could not believe just how easy it was. That is my first experience with your service and I will NEVER use another Thanks again for all your help and please feel free to use me as a reference. Sincerely, | ||

| Dear Larry, I wanted to thank you for all of your assistance and professionalism in helping me conduct a successful FSBO sale of my house. The house went on the market in September and backed by extensive ads, web sites and signs, was on the market 23 days. The house sold at full list ($700,000) with a very clean contract. Settlement was set in less than 60 days. At this point all contingencies have been removed, so please change the status of the house to "Contract- No Contingencies" to post on the MLS on Wednesday Oct 30. I have recommended your service to three other home owners, in Bethesda In a sellers market, even with "high end" houses anyone with a college degree, and a bit of common sense can successfully list, sell and close their own properties, saving thousands. I spent heavily on advertising to move the house, and even with a buyers agent saved over $17,000 of my hard earned money. Thanks again for all your help and advice. The next house I have to sell will be with SAVE 6! Paul K. Wickre President 5308 Huntin2ton Parkway. Bethesda. MD 20814 | ||

| Dear Save 6 Incorporated, My family and I would like to thank you for all that you have done to sell our house. It sold in one day! The use of advertising on the internet was wonderful We had at least ten different people, and real estate agencies come by wanting to look at the house. You did a wonderful job of displaying our house online, and we still can't believe that it only took a matter of six hours to sell and have the contract signed. I'd also like to thank you for your efficiency and how quickly you made things work. If you had not posted our house on- the internet we might even still be trying to look for a buyer- Once again thank you for: all that you have done to help sell our household. We a truly happy that we chose you to advertise our home; because you made it all happen. Cordially, | ||

| This is my first time buying/selling a house. I can not thank Mr. Lessin so much for his assistance in helping me with so many questions. I am selling my husbands house on my own and had a realtor who was threatening and intimidating me. I must say that I was quite scared and worried about how things would turn out. Mr. Lessin gave me a lot in information and gave me the strength and power to believe that justice would prevail. I had a buyer who's realtor was for from honest and tried to lie about our contract. I am not of the water completely until I get all the paperwork filled out to terminate our contract but am now working with this realtors supervisor and feel that the end is near. This is my first time buying/selling a house I can not thank Mr. Lessin enough. If nothing else I had someone to talk me through this horrible mess. I am confident once again to sell this house on my own and have learned a GREAT deal. The best kind of thanks I can give your company is referrals, and I will definitely be doing that. Thank you so much | ||

| Dear Larry,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your high level of service through the process of selling my home. I have sold two houses previously without assistance ….however I was pleasantly surprised at the extent of assistance that your company provided. Dealing with many buyer agents has given me an education on the proper conduct of the purchase process. Without your baseline of experience to rely on I would have been unsure of how to deal with situations as they developed.
The review of offers and the advice that you provided in dealing with the agents proved indispensable. Knowing that I could call you and bounce any issues off you was great. This gave me greater confidence in negotiating and dealing with the buyer’s agent obstacles and contract paperwork. I wish you the best of success in the future and highly recommend your service to others.
Thank you!
Sincerely, | ||
