Joel didn't tell us what we wanted to hear, but rather what we needed to hear.  His directness and integrity certainly were reassuring.

We would like to thank you for the enjoyable and professional way in which you helped us find and buy our dream home. You paid attention to every little detail and covered all the bases as if it was your own purchase. In a very short time, you figured out what would best fit our needs and played a critical role in the "money time”. In addition to providing us with top-notch service and wonderful advice, you assisted us in assembling a very professional and reliable team for handling all the aspects of the deal (e.g. legal support, house inspection, etc.). We are not sure if we could have done it without you. It is very difficult to move from a foreign country with a different culture and language. We were therefore very fortunate to have your patient guidance with a welcoming smile. Right from the start, you mentioned we will have a friend in America. And indeed we have. You listened to us, encouraged us when we had trouble understanding how things were going here and cleared your time for us. You really warmed our hearts and gave us a pleasant feeling of being very welcome in a new country. Thank you Joel for being our friend and helping us feel at home. You also have new friends in Andover, MA
