Hi Debbie,
Jim Barger asked me to drop you a line regarding your 3.5% Program. I found the program to be very cost effective and responsive. From the time Jim took the listing I was kept informed about all showings via automatic e-mails. There were 11 showings in the first 11 days which resulted in two offers, of which we accepted one and closed today November 18th-approximately 6 weeks after the initial listing.
Jim kept me informed and responded to all my questions. As it happens we are in Virginia and Jim made selling our home of the last 20 years a long distance pleasure. He even took care of the required township inspection for us.
Lastly, even though the total commission was well below the 6%, I found the program to be full featured, technologically savvy, and very efficient. The services actually exceed that which I received under prior 6% commission listings. Our asking price fell into the lower end of the housing market and under this program we saved a tidy sum--so important in this down turned market where every dollar of equity has been eroded by 30%.
I was drawn to CENTURY 21 Carter & Carter because of your 3.5% Program newspaper ad. As my home value dropped with the market it became more and more critical to save everywhere I could. The Century 21 program, although not the least expensive commission solution, was nearly half the standard 6% rate. Yet unlike the other less expensive solutions where services are scaled way back, the Century 21 3.5% Program offered full realtor services, multiple MLS listings, and aggressive use of the Internet's real estate listing services!
I could not be more pleased with the services I received from Jim Barger and Century 21 under the 3.5% Program.
Sincerely,
Garry Holmberg

"Debbie Carter was wonderful from beginning to end. As first-time home buyers, we needed someone we could trust and who would educate us while guiding us through the process. Debbie listened carefully to our wants and needs and showed us exactly what we were looking for on our first day out! She was then attentive and diplomatic throughout a challenging transaction. Her persistence helped us close the deal and we couldn't be happier with our choice. I would highly recommend her."

"When choosing a real estate agent, ensure that the prospective agent is very familiar with the area you are interested in, comes with recommendation of someone you know, and LISTENS to what you want. From the first time we spoke with Debbie, she demonstrated these traits. She was amazingly patient and always kept our needs first. And when we finally found the perfect home she went beyond our every expectation. We highly recommend her."

"My wife and I bought and sold 7 houses in the last 43 years. Jim Barger was by far the most outstanding Agent we have ever dealt with. The house we sold at 29 Boss Road was vacant all the time it was listed. He made weekly stops and sometimes more just to check on things. He even dug up the D-Box for an inspection, pulled weeds, met with the water test person and other inspectors, swept cellar, vacuumed, and called up a couple times a week over the months it was listed. He kept on the backs of other Realtors, attorneys, and mortgage companies. Jim went way overboard to make the sale happen. If anyone wants to speak with us personally, Jim can give you our phone number here in South Carolina. Again, thank you Jim."

"I would like to once again say thank you for your support
and dedication to our/my cause during the last several months. The timing nor
the circumstances were right, but your joint efforts, the tireless work of Hans,
and the customer orientation you both showed made it possible: Its already a
month now that we sold the house in Princeton. It certainly took a big load from
my shoulders! Thanks again!"
