| Dear Sharon,
We want to thank you for all of the expertise, patience, and amazing dedication you showed us during our recent real estate adventure. You stood beside us during a very long and disappointing negotiation for a beautiful home that was in pre-foreclosure. Sadly, the house progressed into foreclosure (after you worked tirelessly and creatively to come to terms with not only the sellers, but also with two feuding mortgage banks and countless attorneys!!). We were devastated, but you encouraged us not to give up our search for our dream home. Several months later, we were elated to win the previous house at auction! Elation soon turned to fear as we realized that we would quickly be owners of not one house, but two!! As impressed as we had been at your negotiations on the buying end, we were truly amazed by your work as our seller’s agent. You provided us with thorough analysis for pricing, explained different pricing strategies, and gave us concrete advice on ‘staging’ our home for showings. You advertised our home in local papers, were always available for showings, and hosted multiple open houses. In addition to all of this, you introduced us to fantastic local legal, banking, insurance, and inspection professionals. You quickly sold our house at top dollar during some of the coldest of times (both weather and market conditions!). Once our house was under contract, your dedication continued: you coordinated and attended inspections, smoothed over conflicts, and facilitated the closing process. Through all of this, we always knew that you were there for us. You blend emotional support and encouragement with rock solid expertise and tenacity. We always recommend you without hesitation to anyone who is looking for real estate representation. As you take this new step from real estate agent to real estate broker, we have no doubt that success and happiness will follow for not only you, but for those who are lucky enough to work with you.
Warmly,

| Hi Sharon,
Sharon , Just a note to let you know how much we appreciate all your time and energy in selling and helping us find and purchase our homes. We were surprised at how fast our home sold, at the first open house and more than we asked! Then you helped us look at and find the right home for us and negotiated a fair price with the sellers. I would highly refer your services to anyone looking to sell or purchase property. You were always a phone call away at any time and quickly got us in to look at new properties that became available at a time that worked for us, at even short notice. We also appreciate all the phone calls and footwork you did with the buyers and sellers, coordinating the sale and purchase terms so we could make a smooth transition from our old home to our new one. Thanks also for helping us find a great legal team to represent a! s well as home inspection services options and Mr. D's Termite inspection. Sharon you are a full service realtor and a pleasure to work with. Good luck this new year and many happy sales and purchases to you and your clients.
Thanks again for all your time and efforts ,

| My husband and I recently moved from Tucson, Arizona to Easthampton. A cross country move is difficult but particularly challenging when you are trying to purchase a house from 2500 miles away. Sharon was more than helpful - always responsive, following up on questions, even attending our home inspection. We can't thank her enough for her tireless work in making the purchase and closing as smooth as possible.

| Sharon,
I wanted to pause and make time to thank you for your recent real estate services. When I decided to sell my historic home in Springfield, I was concerned about finding the right buyer for an old Victorian. For the first four months with a different realtor, I was unsuccessful in finding a buyer. After that contract ended, I was not sure about my next steps. My partner, Jay, found you online as we searched for realtors. From our first encounter with you, we were impressed. Your direct approach is just what I needed and desired all along. You are a realist which is invaluable to a seller, whose goal is to actually sell their property. Your advice was solid and helped me to make the right decisions around a sales approach and listing price for the property. As a result, the house went under contract 30 days from when we signed the listing contract together. And, this was at a traditional 'slow' time in the business! After we found our buyer, I relied on you to deal with the appropriate parties at the appropriate time so we could move towards a closing. You shined in that regard. We successfully closed in 30 days, which is amazing to me especially with an historic home!
My experience with you was awesome. I would recommend you and your agency to any buyer or seller, who is looking for real estate services in the Western Massachusetts area. Thank you again for your advice and services. You made my sales experience terrific and I'll never forget that.

| We started working with Sharon Kimble over the internet--gave her our
requirements, arranged to see houses on vacation, and fell in love with
the third house we saw in Huntington, MA.
Since we live out of state, the process could have been a very difficult one. However, Sharon made the process easy, from finding a loan, to arranging inspections, to helping us do closing long distance.
Sharon stayed in contact with us throughout the process,
and made buying our dream home a real pleasure. We will recommend her to friends.
