We always appreciate hearing from our customers. And it is reassuring to receive so many compliments. Below are just a few correspondence from satisfied customers of McDevitt Sothebys.


Dear Jamie,

Having relocated to Southern Pines from out of state, I went to McDevitt for help in finding the perfect new home. 

I found my sales agent, at McDevitt's, to be extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in this area.  She spent numerous evenings and weekends with me, in order to accommodate my work schedule, and was able to show me a large selection of properties which would suit my needs. 

With the help of my agent at McDevitt's,  I was able to find the home I was looking for in a wonderful neighborhood on a golf course, which was convenient to work and shopping.   I have continued to be very happy with the decision I made to purchase this property.  All of the staff at McDevitt's were incredibly helpful and wonderful to deal with during my home buying experience, and guided me every step of the way. 

I would recommend McDevitt's, without reservation, to anyone who is looking for a realtor in this area, they are the best!

Dear Ellen,

Thank you, for showing me so many homes and persuading me to buy such a beautiful home in Beacon Ridge/Seven Lakes West.  I can't believe it's been just over a month since I moved into my new home.  I absolutely love the stunning water views of Lake Auman!  It has been such a delight that many of my wonderful new neighbors have stopped by to welcome me to Beacon Ridge, some of whom shared friendship bread and delicious homemade sweet goods.

It can't be left unsaid that you were more than instrumental in obtaining last minute inspections, a surveyor, and a closing attorney for our "unheard of" nine day marathon race from contract to closing.  I also truly appreciate the kindness and friendship that you and your husband have extended to me; not to mention the fact that you both came over a few days after closing to offer your chain saw and labor to take a few small trees down.  The lovely lunch you brought was fabulous as well, especially to a person who had been busily trying to put a dent in unpacking the huge amount of moving boxes that were towering us everywhere.

Ellen, I could not have chosen a better real estate broker.  I truly appreciate all that you have done for me and most especially the laughter and good times we have shared.  I look forward to our continuing friendship.

Sincerely,

Ann


After taking time on her day off  to speak with us and ascertain our needs when we dropped in unexpectedly, Inge continued to work with us via the Internet over the next few months, sending us information about homes and learning what we liked and disliked.  It went so well that we subsequently spent only one day looking at homes with her, making an offer on one the following day and subsequently buying it.  We highly commend Inge for her personal service!

Jamie and Holly:

We wanted to take a moment and thank both of you for your help and patience getting us into this house. We never would have looked at a townhouse if you guys hadn't pointed this one out to us….and it's spectacular. We have a great view of the wide part of the lake without having to look at the causeway or beach club…..the view is better than the Canal Lane house…it feels like you are overhanging the water…..just beautiful. We had a very hard time going home which is highly unusual for us. We thought about “just chucking everything in Baltimore” and staying here. Three years and counting.

Hunter was wonderful to work with. Barry Coyle also installed our water heater (if you see him let him know the check is in the mail)……….everything is working fine and Barry was kind enough to follow-up the following day to make sure we had hot water…….people are so nice.

So, all in all, life is beautiful!!!

Also, we wanted to thank you for the gift bag, and the membership letters……..we loved the cook book, the key chains are in use……..and a good friend of ours has already claimed the golf balls.

Best regards,
Art and Pat


Hi Ellen,

Ken and I just wanted to write you a note to tell you how much we enjoyed working with you to find the "Pinehurst, on the Golf Course, House of our Dreams."  Your vast knowledge of the area and the housing market in Pinehurst as well as your guidance in picking just the right house for needs and taste was immeasurably valuable to us.  Your gentle coaxing (are we ever glad we listened to your advice) on picking just the right property was greatly appreciated.  Now that we look back and see the pros and cons to the two houses that we were debating over, we can't tell you how much we value your input.  

After we made our decision, your expert help in working with getting everything accomplished on time for the closing made for an incredibly smooth settlement.  Then, when you showed up on our door step the night we were moving in with a delicious dinner for two very tired new homeowners, it was just the icing on the cake.  How lucky we were to have chosen you for our real estate agent, and new Pinehurst friend.

Take Care
Ken and Sandie


Hello,                                                                               

We would like to thank you again for the hospitality of AnnBeth Simmons We have never met a more gracious and helpful real estate agent. We are very hopeful in finding a property in the 7 lakes area with AnnBeth.

We will be in touch.

Thanks again.

Sincerely, John and Sheri


Jean,

Just a brief note to say thanks and to let you know how much we appreciated all you did for us on our recent visit to your area.  We could not have picked a nicer, more informed person to work with.  Your professional yet friendly manner made quite an impression on us and we will be back to see you.

Dear Ellen;

Paul & I can't begin to express our gratitude for the exceptional assistance you provided during our househunting and the successful purchase of our home.

Moving from out of state, with limited time and information, we quickly learned that we could rely on you to guide us in the process.  You paid attention to our needs and requirements, made efficient use of our time and kept us focused on the end result.

The grid you provided us comparing the data on our top choices was invaluable in the selection process and acceptance of our purchase offer.  Then you coordinated all the details for our closing while we went back to prepare for moving, and we closed in record time.

As two bankers with extensive experience in financing, we felt extremely fortunate to meet, and work with, someone with your organizational skills, professionalism and ethics.

We highly recommend you to everyone we talk to about our move.

Sincerely,


Melanie,

WOW...thank you SO much for getting us that great place at that rate. Really, I am very, very grateful. This is way beyond what I expected.

You have all been so wonderful to my husband and I as we prepare for the move there. I hope to have big barbecue this summer where I can properly thank everyone.

Best,
Stephanie


Having been in the military, we moved and bought houses many times and all over the country.  Inge Dahl is by far the best, most professional real estate agent we've ever worked with.  We have been impressed with her willingness to take the time to do her homework, leaving nothing to chance.  

On every occassion, she develops a list of homes, conducts previews and interviews, knows directions so we don't get lost and waste time, has listings and details at her fingertips, and most importantly, ensures that the homes are ones that we will like to see.  We will happily recommend her to everyone!

Ellen,

This note is long overdue - but only because things have been busy and going at such a great pace.

This Thanksgiving has given me pause to think over this last year -- and the year before. I have worked with you twice - once when looking for horse property - and the second time when looking for a new home. I was truly lucky when I chose you as my realtor.

I certainly had my own opinions when I came back to this area - some of which were not well founded. For certain I needed assistance making some basic decisions. The time you spent with me was considerable - and you were always available.

As I have settled in I have the time to reflect on the guidance, the professional service you provided me over the last two years. You guided me through the myriads of choices, the thousands of times I shifted direction - and my mind. You did this all with patience and the utmost professionalism. Your guidance allowed me to choose the home I needed - and the home that was right from the beginning.

You did more than find me a house - you found me a home in which many memories will be built. You became more than my realtor, you became my friend with all of those wonderful intangible qualities.

I hope to be connecting my friends with you when it's their time to make their move. I will certainly make sure that this area is on their list!

Most Sincerely,
Kathleen


Dear Jean,

You ushered us into our CCNC home and gracefully exited us out of it, and you will be remembered dearly as a part of our wonderful experience there.  

Cynthia


Dear Ellen,

We feel like we've know you for years! Thank you for your excellent help in introducing us to the area, including us in the gathering with family and friends, and your effort in identifying and showing us potential properties.

We are totally charmed by what we saw of life in the Sandhills and are looking forward to next steps.

Best Regards-

Carolyn


Many thanks for your help and hospitality during our recent trip.  We enjoyed meeting everyone during our visit to your wonderful area!  Ellen is an outstanding ambassador, both for McDevitt & Southern Pines.  All in all, our time in your hands was very productive!  We look forward to our move sometime soon!

The S's

That's all for now!


Inge,

We appreciated your help with our search process.  I'm amazed that it all came together so quickly and easily.  You gave us just the right amount of follow up without the pressure that some other realtors have given us in the past. You respected the fact that we weren't completely sure what we were looking for or when we would be willing to pull the trigger.  Fortunately, I believe we found something that will be perfect for us in the future.

Thanks again for everything.

Vicki


Dear Ellen

This is just a short note to thank you for all your time and assistance in helping us find "just the right home" for our needs.

You gave us an overview of many areas and many homes - enough to help us make a good decision and one which we are very happy.

Thanks again for everything.
Bertie and Katharina


Thank you for all your hard work in listing our house. Your professionalism is greatly appreciated. We would not hesitate to relist again with McDevitt Town & Country.

Ken


Ellen:

I have been negligent in thanking you and Jamie for taking such good care of my parents.  Thanks to you, the house sold and for more money than we expected!  What a load off of all our minds! You and your staff were so kind helpful to them - and to me! I can't thank you enough.

janet


Thanks for being more than just a real estate agent. You have become a family friend!!!

The M's


We just can't thank you enough. You really made things so much fun. You did so much more than you had to do. We love the house and the neighborhood. Everything you told us was exactly right. You really are a credit to your profession.

Stop by and see us- when you're not too busy- and let us take you to lunch.

Thanks again for all you have done for us!

The R's


I want to thank you so much for your excellent service in locating a piece of property that seems so right.

Thanks again,
Sheri L.
