TESTIMONIALS


Vince,

Thank you for your guidance during our participation in the HomeFree program. With your help we were able to meet three highly qualified real estate agents. The entire process from listing our home to closing couldn't have gone more smoothly. It was an all around good experience and we would recommend HomeFree to anyone.

Dear Vince

I would like to let you know how much John and I appreciate the help we have received through TOA's Marketing Assistance Service. The realtor we chose through your work has been a tremendous help to us. She advised us well and we were able to feel comfortable with the listing price for our home. We feel that it sold in 6 weeks because she helped us see the need to 'price it right.' In addition, on a personal level, you have given me advice and information which have helped me deal with all the vagaries of this process of buying and selling homes.
We thank you very much.

John and Jane Page



'
Just a note to say thanks..to you and Traditions Realty in helping me to sell my home. Without your input and advice I don't think I would have sold my home as quickly as I did. I would highly recommend you and Traditions Realty and would not hesitate to use your services again. Vince, many, many thanks again, for everything!'

Vince,

Charlotte and I want to thank Traditions Realty and you for all your help and advise in getting our former home at 746 Redfern Lane, Bethlehem, PA sold before we moved to the 55 and over Traditions of America Community at Hanover. We moved into Hanover on June 2nd, 2008 and settled on our former home on June 9th, 2008. It could not have been any better as far as timing.
As we all know selling a home today is a very challenging task. We feel so fortunate based on some of the stories we have been hearing from other Hanover residents that are still struggling to sell their homes. In our conversations we do not hesitate to mention your name and firm on the excellent service and advice we received and the process involved. I would think you will be hearing from other Hanover residents that may need help. We will continue to spread the word about your services to those we think could use your help.

Hope to see you at the next social here at Hanover.

Thanks again,

Alan & Charlotte Blair

Subsequent to the signing of our purchase agreement with Traditions of America at Silver Spring, we contacted Mr. Vince Salvitti of Traditions Realty to assist us with the sale of our residence in Hampden Township, Pennsylvania. Mr. Salvitti's advice and thorough understanding of the real estate market proved to be vital to the successful and timely sale of that property. Mr. Salvitti recommended three pre-screened local real estate brokers for initial interviews and market appraisals. The person that we ultimately selected to list our home had more than 25 years of experience in real estate sales. Traditions Reality examined all legal documents prior to the successful sale of our home after being on the market for 60 days. Mr. Salvitti offered advice and counsel throughout the negotiation process.

Mr. Salvitti also recommended a way for us to remain in our home until such time as the new home at TOA Silver Spring was completed.

We discovered that Traditions Realty offers a valuable and multi-faceted service to its clients who are in the process of purchasing new homes in a Traditions of America community. We would highly recommend that free service to anyone, especially in this time of uncertainty in the real estate market.

Hello Vince,

Thanks for hooking us up with some of the top real estate agents in the area. We selected Linda Honeywill of Prudential Preferred Realty. She was great to work with and handled the sale of our house in a very professional manner. We highly recommend using the services of Traditions Realty even if you are not in the Home Free Program.

Sincerely,

Jay & Pam Bullie



Dear Vince,

Both Joan and I would like to thank you for all your assistance in the sale of our home through the Home Sales Assistance Program. As you know, with the current market situation, selling a home can be a daunting experience. However, with the support that you provided, we always felt "taken care of." It was reassuring to know that you were available with counsel.

We are also grateful for the high quality realtors that you provided for us. Each gave a most professional presentation. We were very happy with our selection. Things have certainly changed in the real estate market and it is imperative to have someone who is active in this current market to provide the marketing plan for your house.

All in all we would definitely recommend your services to anyone putting their house on the market. Thanks again for your services. They definitely helped to make the selling process less stressful.

Regards,

Norman & Joan Failla


June 2009

Vince:

It appears that all obstacles to the closing (scheduled for June 19) have been overcome, so we thought it would be worthwhile to give you our impressions of the home selling experience using portions of the HomeFree program....

Overall the process went extremely smoothly. Your assistance in choosing a qualified Realtor got everything off to a good start. All three Realtors that we interviewed were highly qualified. We believe that having TOA behind the transaction significantly increased the chance that we would receive a quality effort by whomever we chose.

Determining the value of our twenty-four year old house (we were the original owners) was greatly simplified using the competing ERC's. Again, your assistance in setting an effective asking price was crucial. Five properties in our neighborhood went up for sale at the same time but we believe ours was the best priced to sell while getting maximum value. We reached a sales agreement after being on the market for one month, while all the others have not yet sold after three months or more.

Our Realtor... has done an excellent job.She saw to it that our house generated significant traffic, managed to get two buyers bidding at the same time such that we were offered 100% of our asking price, negotiated the sales agreement expertly and has maneuvered around many potential obstacles for achieving the closing as scheduled. In today's market conditions, she definitely worked for her commission!

The only fly in the ointment was the buyer's lender who refused to appraise the house at the sales agreement price so we ended up settling for less.
Unfortunately, today's market conditions have made lenders over cautious when determining appraised values.

We would like to thank you for all of your assistance. The HomeFree program has made the entire process as worry-free as humanly possible, while maximizing the value we received for our home.

Regards,

Mike and Marines Lopes
