To Whom It May Concern:

As a person who is literally on the road five days a week and with little time to investigate every property that might be of interest to my wife and me, I can't tell you how much we both appreciated our personal realtor, Pete Edwards.

Pete made every part of the home buying process easy. He not only was patient, but also took the time to explain each component of our buying a house. And we needed someone who not only understood that we didn't make 'snap' decisions, but didn't try to pressure us into getting into a deal because they needed a commission.

Pete listened to what Julie and I were looking for in a house and at the price range we felt comfortable. He then spent his own time in doing the research in looking up homes that would meet our criteria. After he found houses, he worked on our schedule. That was important because there were times when I would call Pete in the morning and ask if he could show us some homes that day(sometimes even in a very short time). Pete would make arrangements to accommodate us whenever he possibly could.

Julie and I both valued Pete's prior home building experience. Pete would detect things that didn't seem that big of a deal to us, but were in fact, disasters ready to happen. Pete's expertise made sure we didn't fall into any trap doors that we couldn't get out of.

Unlike some other realtors that we had tried to work with, Pete was always accessible and a joy to deal with. He helped us to avoid issues that can easily trip up a transaction and smoothed out any bumps that we encountered.

Both Julie and I agree that Pete Edwards will be the realtor that we work with when we sell our current house as well as handle all of our new home buying business as well. Pete Edwards is our realtor for life.

Sincerely,
John & Julie Panico

Dear Pete:

The dust is beginning to settle, and my computer is finally in working order, and I don't want another day to go by without thanking you for the terrific job you did in selling our house.

Not only did you provide us with a timely sale, you were a pleasure to work with. From the second appointment we had with you, we knew that you could be depended upon to do everything possible to keep your promises.

Throughout our association with you, your high degree of professionalism was manifest. Yet you were anything but reluctant when it came to little (or not so little) things like getting windows unstuck.

By the way, I am keeping one of your very revealing brochures to help me remember my old home and the pleasant memories we had of the house that held our home for twelve years.

Thank you for all that you did.

Sincerely
Daphne Faulkner

Subject: Letter of Recommendation

This is an unsolicited Letter of Recommendation for the services of Mr. Peter Edwards, Prudential Georgia Realty, Gainesville, Georgia. I am a retired US Air Force Colonel currently living in my 13th residence. As such I have dealt with numerous realtors throughout the country and I have yet to meet one who comes close to the professionalism, dedication, and tenaciousness of Pete Edwards.

Looking for a permanent retirement home, last July I contacted Pete from and Internet search locating his web-site. I told him that we were not familiar with the area but it did seem to meet our needs and asked if he could help us. Within two days he provided numerous listings based on the requirements we provided him. We then made plans to visit Gainesville for closer inspection. During this interim period, Pete researched and visited over 60 homes and provided additional listings for our review. When we arrived in Gainesville we were confident all available properties had been screened and Pete proceeded with appointments and tours. Of significant importance is the fact that Pete's initial presentation of homes included not his listings, but all listings in the area. It has been our experience that realtors typically show only their listings first as the commissions are higher. For the first time in our experience, this realtor actually placed our needs ahead of his own.

Once we had found our retirement home, Pete was instrumental in working with the listing realtor to help us negotiate the lowest price. Since the current owners were building a new house, and we were not prepared to move for nearly a year, Pete also negotiated (with no profit to himself) a leasing agreement. Since we are living out of town, Pete also volunteered to hire a property inspector whom he know to be reliable; Volunteered to work with a local cabinet company to correct deficiencies; an personally worked with the current owners to correct a problem with pillars on the front porch of the house. Such above and beyond assistance is unheard of in our experience and we are most appreciative of his help.

Pete Edwards carries our highest recommendation as a totally professional, reliable and dedicated realtor. I am providing copies of this letter to Pete and asking that he present it to his clients. I will also be most happy to talk to any of his clients should they so desire.

Sincerely
John. P Harmon

Dear Pete:

When we first listed our Harbour Point home in early September 2001, no one could have anticipated the awful events of 9/11 that would occur only days later. Hardly on our minds at that moment , but what we would realize later, was that the thought that our home might take years to sell..... due to the country's injured economy.

Months later, we were very pleased when you agreed to co-list our home with our existing agent to help promote the property in the Hall County lakefront market. We knew that you would be the best salesperson for our property since you were a Harbour Point resident and knew the benefits of lakefront living in such a spectacular community.

What we didn't know at the time.... was that we had enlisted the power of a marketing genius...you! Your creative marketing, especially the website advertising, gave our property a much needed boost in exposure. Your dogged efforts to continue to market the property, even in the slow market, were impressive. Each time we met and you supplied us with detailed reports showing your progress we were encouraged.

We also appreciated your extra efforts in working with us as 'absentee owners.' Since we were still living full time in New Jersey and traveling frequently, it was difficult to track us down. You went the extra mile in caring for our home in our absence.

Our sales transaction was a smooth one ' with no unexpected expenses or issues! That may have been a first. Considering the number of homes we have (collectively) purchased in our lifetime (which may exceed 20 at this point....) that is really saying something.

Overall, we want to say thank you for performing your job so very well. Well done, Pete!

Sincerely
Tom & Chris Crawford

Having an urgent need to relocate and not knowing anything about the Forsyth or Hall County areas, our only avenue of information was the Internet. After searching many sites I found Pete's website with it's many options for buying or renting. What an awesome website! It helped with school and neighborhood info that was very important in relocating.

Pete was able to fit our family into the perfect community within a weeks time and two visits. He helped us find the home of our dreams. Not knowing anything about us, but having a few days together house hunting, he assessed our needs and was able to find us the perfect home. He is truly a man of great patience and caring, but also a true professional in his field willing to give more than 110 percent. Not only do I recommend him as an agent, but as a friend.

His knowledge of Real Estate helped tremendously with our buying experience and I often refer him to others. He made an insanely quick move into a wonderfully smooth transition.

With all our thanks!!!

We are writing this letter of reference to highly recommend Pete Edwards and John to sell your home. We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Pete and John as they sold our home at 124 Wildwood Circle, Gainesville, GA. From the initial consideration meeting to the marketing of our home, to helping ensure home repairs were made, to the executing the closing of our home with excellence, Pete and John were the consummate professionals. Through persistent follow up and follow through, they were able to sell our hone in three months in a very difficult market. They clearly know how to prospect, market, and ultimately sell homes!

We have bought and sold many homes. We can honestly say this is the first experience with realtors where we were compelled to write a letter of recommendation after the fact. We would highly recommend Pete and John to sell your home.

Sincerely,

Dear Pete,

We want to thank you for all the work you did in selling our Lake Lanier property. It was very difficult for us during our relocation from Georgia to California to handle all the details of such a big move for my family. Having you handle the sale of our lake lot was extremely helpful.

I'd like to take this opportunity to comment to anyone who may be considering your company as their agent about your high degree of professionalism and flexibility. You have a great deal of knowledge about real estate transactions and made our deal very simple for us at closing. In fact you handled all the details to such a degree that my sister-in-law was able to easily act with our power of attorney to complete this transaction, which saved us considerable money in travel costs.

We understand that the buyers were equally pleased with the deal. This to me is the true test of a good agent -- When both the buyers and sellers are completely satisfied with the deal. You seem to have a good sense for what people want and an up-to-date knowledge of what's available to help bring the two together. I also feel that you act on behalf of what your clients interest are and not what's best to make the quick deal. This assures the satisfied customer.

We know that you will be very successful at building your business there in Georgia and we want to thank you and wish you continued success!

Best Regards!

Dear Pete,

Thank you for all of your work while selling our home. Last year, we had our house listed through another agency for six months with no sale. You did it in three. We truly believe you put forth the extra effort in your marketing programs which made the difference. Our previous experiences with other agents were aggravating due to unreturned phone calls and the nagging feeling that we were simply being ignored. You were consistently prompt and professional throughout the whole process, and regardless of your busy schedule, you were available to answer even the most insignificant of questions. Your negotiation skills were vital in the sale of our home as well as in the purchase of our new residence.

We will highly recommend your services in the future.

Many, many thanks!

Stuart and Lisa Cowles

Subject: Our Thanks - Great Job!

John Fischer and the RE/MAX team at LanierLuxuryHomes.com are terrific! I would refer family and friends to them without any reservation.

After months of research, our family decided to purchase lake front property on Lake Lanier. In September 2004 we entered into a relationship with John Fischer to represent us in the buying process. Wow, what a great decision that turned out to be!

John and his team were up to date with technology and worked with us blending Internet web tools with electronic mail, phone conversations along with live house showings to provide round the clock support and advise. With limited time in my schedule for "house hunting" this virtual support approach was crucial to our success. John's extensive knowledge of the lake and the surrounding properties was also a big advantage to us in finding the perfect lake package. We closed on our property 17 February 2005 and could not be happier.

Our thanks go out to John and his extended team at LanierLuxuryHomes.com for their excellent support and guidance through our property search spanning the last five months.

Dear Pete,

Thank-you so much for the extrodinary job you did in selling my acreage. As you know, in spite of me being licensed with a competitor, I chose you to market my property. It was a wise choice.

Pete, you went over and above the "call of duty". You advertised effectively, you kept me informed regularly, you pumped me up when I was down, you even testified on my behalf in court!! AND, you sold the property to a qualified buyer for an excellent price. The closing was remarkably smooth.

Again, thank-you for a job well done. You're a true professional and I consider you a friend.
