Eric Horne

Eric,I just wanted to take the time to say thank you so very much for helping me get into my home. You were right there every step of the way. You always took care of a problems promptly. You kept me up to date and answered all my questions at anytime. You and your team (Steven, Karen, and Nancy) made this a happy experience. I would recommend you to anyone I know Trying to buy a home. I cant say thank you enough.AdriannDear Eric and Nancy,"I want to thank you for the high level of professionalism, experience, and guidance that you provided in the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new house. After this process, I'm amazed that people will even attempt to sell their homes without the assistance of a realtor. The attention to detail and the work ethic you exhibited were outstanding. As a team, you consistently went out of the way to do the leg work and explain the options and pitfalls that were before us.We were attempting to sell in a community that had been undervalued for the past 10 years. We loved that property and refused to sell at the prices so many of our neighbors had been willing to accept. With your help, we sold in a record four days at a record price. Your guidance in pricing, as well as preparation for inspection and settlement proved invaluable.Of course selling in an up market also means buying in an up market. This is where you excelled as we had very strict requirements in terms of location, house style, lot size, and of course price. Even though there were very few properties on the market that met our demands, this still proved to be the easy part. The tough part was the negotiations on price and needed repairs to actually make the deal work. Again, your consistent approach and pure determination on our behalf paid off.I sincerely believe that the work you did for us was of far greater value than the fee that we paid for your services."Rob & Pat L "I had to take time out to tell you how much I appreciated your service to me as my realtor. I've utilized one other realtor in the past (when I purchased my condominium) and I must say they pale in comparison to you. I'm not saying that the service rendered by my prior realtor was not good. I am simply saying that your service was above and beyond what I have experienced.Thanks for moving so quickly once I decided to sell. Things went so smoothly and swiftly ( a contract was signed within 8 days and it SOLD within 14 days) that I was able to make an effortless transition. I attribute that to your excellence and expertise in the business.Although we are dear friends, I thank you for always remaining professional. I admire your business ethics, your integrity, your pride in your work, and your demand for excellence. As you know, whether selling or buying a piece of property, the process can be overwhelming. I am grateful that I did not once feel overwhelmed. I attribute that to your excellent service.Nancy, it was a pleasure doing business with you and I look forward to doing business with you in the future.K.M. JohnsonLaurel "Nancy thank you for going above and beyond our expectations. We hated leaving Marland and you were so compassionate towards the kids and what they had to go through. You know we have had to move about every three years and no other agent cared about the emotional aspects to moving with school age children. You did, and they love you for noticing they are people too. Even though you made us more money than we expected, you brought such a personal touch to our relocation, that we consider you more than our realtor. We consider you our friend."Candace & JerryEllicott City Nancy and Eric are true realty professionals in every sense of the word. They made the sale of our previous home and the aquisition of our new home seem so effortless.From the start, they carefully listened to what our needs were for a new home, and helped us to understand the entire process. They patiently answered all of our questions, until we understood every transaction that was made.Through their energetic and tireless efforts they found us our dream home in a prime location at a wonderful price. They also helped us to receive top dollar in the sale of our home in just 4 days! The use of their website literally brought our dream home to our front door! Every day available homes and new listings were e-mailed to us. We believe that it is this extra effort that Eric and Nancy put forth that helped us find the new home in a very competitive real estate market. Eric and Nancy were in daily contact with us from the time we decided to seek a new home until both settlements were completed. They made these real estate transactions so smooth ans stress-free that we would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone who wants to sell or buy a home.Elaine & Todd W.Eldersburg "My first home purchase was enjoyable and went flawlessly with the help and expertise of Nancy Horne. Her knowledge and follow-up surpassed all of my expectations and her willingness to go the extra mile is an outstanding quality. I would recommend that anyone purchasing or selling a home, visit Nancy and see what I have seen. A World Class Realtor."Raymond K.Eldersburg "James and I would like to thank you for your assistance in finding our new home. As you know, because we were relocating and pressed for time, we were under pressure to find a new (suitable) home in somewhat of a hurry. After wasting our time with two other realtors you found us a wonderful house and exceeded our expectations. In a "Seller"s market you stayed sensitive to our needs and assisted us in finding a great home, in a great location, at a reasonable price. Your honesty and patience left a memorable impression on us both. As long as we are in the area we will continue to use you whenever needed, and we will certainly recommend your services to anyone who would inquire about a realtor."Sybil & James L.Severn "We had to terminate our relationship with our previous agent because they were not working out. Nancy was outstanding from the start. She marketed our house extensively and had many good ideas. Her service was more than we expected, keeping in touch constantly, and keeping us up to date after we accepted an offer. Nancy did such a wonderful job and we will refer her to everyone we know."Art & Julie S.Eldersburg "The Horne & Horne team sold many homes in and around my neighborhood, but I thought for sure I could do it myself and save money. After all it was a "Seller's market." So I tried it for many weeks even having open house every weekend, and many newspaper ads later it wasn't sold.I finally broke down out of complete frustration and called Eric Horne. Eric was so energetic and said he could sell it for more money than I was asking because his partner Nancy just had a home a couple blocks over go under contract for thousands more than mine was listed at. She had her home under contract in 5 days for more money. I signed with Eric immediatly. I thought he would give me a long list of changes to make on my house,he didn't.He held an open house and had 14 buyers, mostly with agents show up. I never had more than 3/day when I did it.His marketing plan was so extensive and I knew I didn't have time for all of that. To make a long story short we had a contract for thousands more than I tried to sell it for and closed on it 5 weeks later. They took care of everything start to finish and it was enjoyable and STRESS FREE. I will spread the word to all I know, Horne & Horne is the way to go!"T.L.Owings Mills "Thanks to the hard work and dedication of Eric Horne, my Long & Foster agent, my family and I are living our dream of owning our own home. The past 2 years with other agents, have been difficult for me with being turned down so many times. I was beginning to lose hope. Eric helped me to remain positive and stay focused to my goal. Once I found the home I wanted, he was with me every step of the way towards settlement. I was blessed with being able to move into my house a week before Christmas! This was the best present I could have hoped for. Thanks Eric! I couldn't have done it without you!"Tracy S. "I can't believe how different realtors are when you compare them. I first hired an agent that was set on telling me how wonderful he was and how he sells so many homes. I believed him because I see many of his ads. After many months in this market that was told to be great for sellers, my house wasn't sold. They told me everything I was doing wrong, and they were doing everything to get it sold. My listing expired with him(them)! Then about 20 agents contacted me to put it back on. In short, Nancy stood out. After talking with her I knew she was the opposite of my first agent. She too was a top agent but listened to me. I also saw what comments others had to say and contracted with her to sell. She only asked I do a little picking up and change the color of my family room. She even helped me organize my walk-in closet. We put my home on the market and it sold 2 days later & for more than asking. Then she helped me get my new home, over 3 other buyer's offers. She is the best and doesn't brag about it. Call her!"ConstanceColumbia "Thank you for your tremendous service. When we planned to sell our home in Owings Mills, we were convinced that it would be "easy" to sell our home on our own in a seller's market. We found that experience tedious, constricting and very overwhelming. After speaking with you, we were quickly convinced that working with you would be a tremendous asset.We signed with you on a Friday and by Sunday evening we had a strong contract on our home for $10,000. more than we were selling the house for previously. Your professionalism and concern for our well-being impressed us tremendously. We immediatly let our neighbors know of your efficient service and dedication to your client's satisfaction.After the sale of our home, you took the initiative in beginning our search for the new home. A month after the sale of our home, we settled on our new home.Thank you for your time,patience and honesty."Damon & Minerva G.Owings Mills "This letter is long overdue but I don't think it is ever too late to let someone know how much you appreciate them. Today is your day to know how much I appreciate and value you.Thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into finding me just the right home. I know my relocation was not the easiest situation to deal with, but you proved to have the patience of a saint, and for that I am forever grateful. Your integrity and professionalism are beyond compare and should serve as the example that all professionals strive to achieve. You truly raise the bar in these arenas and it's absolutely refreshing. Your knowledge of the market and related aspects of the real estate business surpassed my expectations and proved to be an added benefit. It was obvious that you were working hard for me and looking out for my best interest from start to finish. I was fortunate that you were the person I spoke with when walking into Long & Foster that day and hope that they realize how fortunate they are to have you on board.You are a champion in my book and can count on me being your champion in sending referral business your way."Brenda DiazHoward County "Nancy, you are the best of them all. Your sincerity and genuiness amaze everyone. We appreciated how you stand by people even at difficult times, irrespective of their race, color, religion or education. You stood by us very genuinely and truthfully and we still want to use you when we need to sell and buy another home. WE love our house, Cheers!"Festus & Henrietta I.Randallstown/Owings Mills "Thank you so much for your assistance during this "house-selling" process. Your experience and encouraging words were reassuring during this very stressful period especially during some unexpected events. Since we had to move out of state during this time frame, it was comforting to know that someone with your knowledge and expertise was there to oversee all the necessary paperwork and duties associated with the selling of our house. Even though we were hundreds of miles away, you always kept us abreast of any possible changes associated with our contract, results of pending house inspections, buyer concerns, etc. You also took the time to thoroughly answer and address any concerns that we might have had at the time. With your high standards, integrity, and empathy, you helped make this pain-staking process run smoothly and for this we are truly grateful! Anyone having the opportunity to work with you and your team of professionals would truly be fortunate! Thank you again for all of your help. Best wishes always."Tim & BethBaltimore County "Congrats! I saw you two in the paper again for being number 1. I agree & well deserved. Sorry I haven't thanked you sooner, always too busy. You are great!"Kathy J.Ellicott City
