    What Rita's Clients Say...

    "I compliment Mrs.Ohlman for her consummate professionalism!  She showed attention to detail, she constantly kept me informed of the status of the house, and she offered helpful advice when I asked for it. She went way beyond anything I’d have expected with her personal kindness and consideration.  She  was always willing to come to my home for meetings, she carefully explained all the financial aspects of a sale, she truly "did Coldwell Banker proud" and I would highly recommend your firm as a result of her work.

    Re: Letter of thanks and recommendation

    Dear Rita:

    I wanted to thank you for the excellent service you provided concerning the sale of my client's home on Finley Road. As you know well, that could have been a lengthy marketing effort because of the age, drainage problems, and deferred maintenance on the residence. We really appreciate all your help: suggestions on fix-up and cleanup; suggesting we list it as-is; initial pricing analyses and updates on the market conditions; skillful marketing including advertising, open houses, and followup with touring brokers; keeping an eye on the vacant property; negotiating the price and terms; dealing with the Buyer; and getting information from the Village.
    You really went above and beyond the call of duty, and we appreciate it. The know-how, effort, and reliability you provided were crucial to a quick and successful sale. We would gladly recommend you to any potential clients -- buyers or sellers.
    Warmest regards for your continued success,

    Howard H. Greengard
