Success Stories

Dear Lee,

I wanted to take a minute and thank you for your professionalism which resulted in the sale of my home in one week!! And, I had two offers in that one week!!

There are many Realtors to pick, but I would recommend you and your dedication to anyone. You presented my home to it's best advantage. Yet, you were concerned and sensitive to my needs as I had two pets staying in the home while I traveled. Every request I made was executed. You seemed to care about my home as if you had known me for the nine years I lived in Texas. Your honesty, diligence and caring certainly could not be beat by those so called 'guarantees' from other Realtors.

I was being relocated by my corporation and our relocation company made a point to call me to express how easy you made it for them. They wanted you to know their job was so much easier because of your knowledge and expertise in dealing with corporate relocations. They told me that they don't often have a chance to work with such a great Realtor. As for me - I appreciate you helping me to sort through all the forms. Not a one was missed.

Thank you, again!! If you are ever in SC, the door is open. I am only 54 miles from Augusta if you are a golfer and about 2 hours from Hilton Head, Charleston, etc. Best wishes.

I want to take a moment to write and sing the praises of our Realtor in Highland Village, Lee Conte-Vaughn. I have to admit, we did not list with Lee at first. That was our biggest mistake! When our home did not sell, I called Lee immediately. She came into our home prepared just as she did when I first interviewed her. Her upbeat and positive attitude kept me sane. Her attention to detail is enormous. Selling a home is a highly stressful time, as you know. Lee managed to keep my stress level at Defcon 1.

Lee's knowledge of our area, her expertise in the listing of and the marketing of our home, the advice she gave us (rearranging some items in our home so that it looked so much better for the pictures and the virtual tour), the website she signed us up for so we could read feedback from other Realtors, all added up to COMFORT!. There was never a time I called that she didn't return my call promptly.

When we received an offer in late June, and it looked like this one would go through, she calmly listened as I cried into the phone asking that the buyers not infringe too much into what time I had left with my children. (The boys stayed in Texas for school - UNT and Angelo State). We'd lived in Highland Village since 1986 and it was extremely hard to leave them along with all the friends we'd made. Lee understood and was able to convey my wish to the buyer's Realtor. She made it work for all parties. Lee, and I've seen this first hand, has made a positive impact on the community by donating her time and services. I don't know how she does it all but she makes it work! Lee has a wonderful reputation in the Highland Shores community.

My husband and I do not hesitate in recommending Lee Conte-Vaughn as an excellent Realtor in the buying and selling of homes in the North Texas area.

Sincerely,
Frankie and Trish Pourron

Dear Lee,

Joe and I want to express our deep gratitude in the way you professionally handled the sale of our house. From the moment we met you, we knew immediately that we had hired the right agent for our special home.

You cannot imagine the excitement (and relief) we felt when you brought in two buyers the first day on the market. We know making our home look perfect helped the quick sale process, but pricing it competitively in today's market actually brought us more than our asking price! What a creative way of moving a home quickly and getting "top dollar."

The original reason we hired you was due to the marketing capabilities which you presented to us, but in reality, you brought so much more to the table! From listing date to closing, which was a total of 31 days, you were on top of everything. It gives us sellers a comforting feeling know that our agent cares about the sale of our home, from the day we sign the listing contract to the day of closing.

We have had 12 transfers in the last 29 years and I want you to know that this is the first letter I have ever written to any real estate agent. We just had to let you know how happy we are that we had the good sense to call Lee Conte-Vaughn.

Thank you, Lee!
Sincerely,

Marilyn McGrath

Dear Lee:

I want to express how delighted Michael and I are to have worked with you on the purchase of our 3rd home. From the start it was clear you were a true professional but you exceeded our expectations. We feel a duty to inform others that you exhibit the best qualities in the real estate profession and as a person. Although you possess many wonderful qualities these are the ones we valued most during our home search:

" In-depth knowledge of the Dallas metroplex housing market
" Able to provide informative, objective data about communities, home values, schools and other key statistics
" Always had objective feedback or was able to provide it quickly on homes
" Attentive to clients needs and wants, selecting homes to fit our criteria almost better than we would have ourselves
" Able to detect key characteristics of a home, flaws and benefits and present them honestly and proactively
" Respectful of keeping appointments and working around clients schedule
" You are well known and highly regarded by others in the community, real estate and builders
" Thorough marketing of homes you list, putting together a complete information package to address any concerns of potential buyers
" Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound (well I didn't actually see this happen)

I hope everyone at Ebby Halliday knows what a true asset you are and that you represent the agency and your clients with the utmost care, loyalty and professionalism. I count myself blessed to have found you to represent us in our 3rd home purchase. I am convinced everyone wins with you as their agent!

Best of everything in the years to come
Michael & Emilia O'Brien

Lee:

Please accept our sincere thanks for all that you did to market, sell and close our former home in Flower Mound.

We were very impressed at how quickly all this unfolded once we signed the papers bringing you on as our listing agent. Within just a couple of days you had taken pictures of the house, listed us on MLS, placed marketing materials with a for sale sign on site and arranged/conducted a Realtors' tour -- all this while we were out of town. We immediately saw a pick up in showings as a result of your efforts and within a week we had a serious
buyer. From there you helped us reach a mutually agreeable price with the buyers and facilitated follow-up appraisal and inspection activities. Finally, closing went off without a hitch creating a win-win-win transaction for the buyers, the Realtors and us.

Although we do not know anyone in the DFW area planning to buy or sell a home at this time, we will strongly recommend you if we learn of folks needing a Realtor. In fact we have passed your name/card along to a couple of the families in our old neighborhood with a very strong endorsement.

Thanks, again, for an outstanding job.

Sincerely,
Mike and Karen Missler

Lee,

You are a great Realtor. I couldn't be happier with the sale of our home. You made it easy!

Elaine & Don Dreiske

We purchased our home working with Lee. When we were ready to sell, we called Lee to again work with us. As before, everything went smoothly. Lee is both professional and supportive. Her follow-up and follow-through took all the stress out of selling. I have praised her to all my Bridlewood friends and neighbors. She is a credit to Ebby Halliday and a fine person in her own count.

Susan & Roger Cicchini

You are just great at your job! You made our experience as painless as selling a house can be. You even helped us with info on buying a house though we had an agent in Dallas for that purpose. Your expertise in marketing, contracts and all the details that make a sale happen set you apart from the crowd of real estate agents in the Highland Village/Flower Mound area.

Thank you for a job done with excellence!
