I am writing this letter today to acknowledge Lora Merrill for her assistance in the purchase of our new home.
As first-time homeowners, there were a lot of questions and unfamiliar territories, which Lora guided us through with ease. Whenever we had questions whether it concerned mortgage options or local gyms in the area, Lora provided accurate and concise information to us in an efficient and timely manner. Her professionalism and proficiency made our home purchasing process an easy and uncomplicated one and we truly want to thank her for that.
Michael and I also felt it was important William Raveis was aware of how thoroughly satisfied we were having Lora Merrill represent us and will highly recommend both Lora Merrill and William Raveis in the Future.

"We want to express to you our appreciation for Lora Merrill and the outstanding job she did selling our antique home. Her professionalism, experience, even temperament, work ethic, marketing skills, candor, and great personality made it a pleasure to work with her. All these attributes were major contributing factors in the sale of the house. She gave us excellent advise and counsel throughout the process, especially the two to three weeks prior to closing when we thought the buyers might actually walk away from the deal. We feel very fortunate to have had her as our Real Estate agent. We have bought and sold a fair amount of property over the years that Lora is clearly one of the best agents we have worked with. We also are appreciative of the resources Wm. Raveis Real Estate made available to her and are delighted with the results. Our purpose in writing this letter is to underscore what you no doubt already now - Lora is an outstanding agent and a real credit to her profession. We couldn't be more pleased with her work."
