"We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for finding us our first home. It is perfect! Although the market was incredibly busy, you helped us find exactly the home we were looking for in exactly the area we desired and within our budget-a feat that initially looked imposssible. You were incredibly patient with us as we took our time to find the right place and we appreciate how you were always available to show us properties and discuss possibilities. We cannot say enough how much we appreciate your commitment in helping us find our new home. We will happily recommend you to friends and family."

"We would like to thank you and Marilyn for your brilliant work in selling the condominium at 447 Walmer Rd. After another agent had attempted, unsuccessfully, to market the property for six months, we were becoming dispirited and worried that we faced unending mortgage payments and an uncertain real estate market. Then, we spoke to you and everything changed. You not only gave us some excellent advice regarding our options, but you made us feel optimistic for the first time-and we hadnt even listed the property with you.

Never did you pressure or chase us for a listing. However; because of the level of comfort and trust we felt with you, we followed your advice. When you did list the property, it was for much more than suggested by a competitor, who said that she is Canadas top condominium broker.

You made intelligent recommendations, including hiring a stager. Her fee was about half the budgeted amount and she did a tremendous job.

The bottom line is that you sold the property in 10 days, during which you held two weekend open houses. You handled negotiations with the purchasers broker with great skill and got us 100% of the listed price.

What you may not know is that, as a result of your fine work, we are now able to help our daughter and son-in-law finance their renovation on a home they recently acquired.

We shall be forever grateful and appreciative of your work on our behalf. Working with you was a pleasure. We will happily recommend you and Marilyn to family and friends looking to purchase and sell property."

"This is just a quick note to thank you for your recent work on successfully selling our home at 3 Campbell Crescent and purchasing our condominium at 55 Lorindale.

We were both very pleased with your service over the past few months. You provided great guidance and support in all areas and at no time did we feel uncomfortable or pressured to make a move. You both made yourselves very available and accessible at any time.

Your professionalism and Integrity are clearly key ingredients in making you an outstanding sales team!

We would have no hesitation in recommending you to future clients."

"I wish to thank you for the past 6 years of trying to find me a condo that fills all
of my requirements and dreams. Your patience throughout has been unbelievable.
There are not too many people that I would trust enough to finally buy a condo without ever physically seeing it myself. When I was away for the winter and you walked me through this unit with your cell phone and told me that this unit suited me better than all the others we had seen and made offers on, I knew I would not be disappointed. I am sure that I win the prize for the client that you spent the most time with in your career.
Once again please accept my heartfelt thanks."

"Marilyn & Saul

I hope you are both well. It has been three months since
we moved and I have been intending to send you a testimonial.
To begin with it was a pleasure to meet such lovely
people. I felt from our first meeting the sale of my property would be in
professional hands. Additionally you made me feel confident by your honesty and commitment. You were always completely approachable and eager to assist with my questions. I had interviewed two other agents before I decided to select you. One of the other agents spelt doomsday to me due to
the fact there was another unit for sale down the hall from me and
other units priced lower than my asking price. When I brought this fact to
your attention not only did you have previous knowledge about the listings
you assured me that this would not affect my sale or my price.
Ultimately you were right. Some units were on the market for months. You sold my unit within 3 weeks (of which one week you were on vacation in Florida) AND you got my asking price. The best customer satisfaction!
An added bonus is I have met two people who are now my friends and I hope our friendship continues. Please visit us this summer. We would love to show you the Taste Trail in the County, Lake in the Mountain, Sandbanks, etc.

cheers,


P.S. T just asked me who I was emailing and I told him
I have been meaning to send you a reference for some time now. He said Well, that is wonderful. They certainly helped us out.

best regards,"

"4 July 2007 Dear Saul and Marilyn,

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your professionalism and support in selling our fathers condominium recently. You were positive and direct in suggesting the listing price and you guided us through getting the condo ready for sale in a sensitive and considerate way, having just lost our dad. You even pitched in to help physically move things, Saul, while Marilyn was there with practical advice about furniture donations, decoration, renovation, etc. You were always willing to meet at our convenience, often taking you away from your own family, some of whom we bad the pleasure to meet. The experience you both offer was an enormous help to us at a difficult time and we are delighted to have made your acquaintance personally and professionally. We would whole heartedly recommend The Merrick s to anyone in search of dedicated and professional real estate agents.

Thank you again for your support and for ajob well done.

Regards,"
R & J.L.

"Dear Saul and Marilyn,

We would like to thank both of you for devoting your time and energies in the recent sale of our home.

It is clear that the strategy that you outlined just a short seven (7) days ago proved to be highly successful.

As you know, I have spent over thirty years in the real estate industry and can declare without reservation that you are both highly professional and proficient dealmakers.

If the test of a successful real estate transaction is the ability to meet the objectives of all parties in a fair and practical manner, both you and Marilyn through your disciplined approach have more than met these standards.

We are very grateful to you for all your efforts and wish you much success in the future."

To whom it might concern:

We have just finished selling our condo in tie Forest Hill area of Toronto. We chose Saul and Marilyn Merrick to be our agents because of their specific familiarity with our property and their knowledge of the local area.

e were very impressed from the first meeting and felt that we could not be better hands. The organizatioi~ of the Forest Hill Real Estate Office was
amazing. Within days we had the most beautiful brochure that showed our condo at its very best. While Saul concentrated on the business side, Marilyn toured the condo and came up with a list of all the good features for the ,~ochure. The sale was so successful that all we had was the agents open house and one showing. By this time, with the help and special touches from Saul and Marilyn the condo looked wonderful and we were starting to think about not selling it.

Needless to say, everything went well and when a small glitch occurred during the final sell, Saul handled it with panache and it was fixed within minutes.

We believe we were very fortunate to have picked Saul and Marilyn, in particular, and Forest Hill Real Estate. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants to have their property sold in a perfect, professional and friendly way.

Yours Sincerely,
G.D.B."

"Saul & Marilyn, We wanted to express our utmost appreciation for your time and effort in helping us to find our lovely home. We never imagined that it could be possible to purchase a property from overseas. However, the numerous emails, telephone calls, listings, floor plans and many encouraging words from both of you indeed made what seemed impossible, actually happen. Our family is truly graateful and we would be pleased to recommend you to anyone!! Thank you both again, so very much!!"
