Dear Potential Sellers,
Lynn and I would like to recommend J. Michael Manley with Coldwell Banker Caine Realtors to you. Michael was recommended to me by a friend who had a hard time selling his home. I had contacted Michael back in October of 2007 while we were still under contract with another realtor to see what he could do for us. I explained my situation of having a previous realtor, and the current realtor was not working for us. Due to work situations I could not meet with him but we stayed in contact. In November 2007 Lynn met with Michael at home. At this time he gave her several recommendations to improve the home. Our contract expired in December, 2007 and we took the house off the market to do some of the improvements that he recommended. Again we were to meet him between the holidays, but my work schedule did not allow this. Michael offered his assistance although we had not signed a contract with him at the time.
We met with Michael on January 18, 2008 at the home. He was impressed with the improvements that were being made. We talked about several options on ways to advertise the property. At this time we agreed to have him list the property. Due to the work in progress he was going to have to return to take photos. The home went on the market Monday, January 21, 2008, and he called us on January 25, 2008 with a potential buyer. This was a home that had been with two previous realtors, and been on the market for 11 months.
Michael laid out all of our options and listened to our questions. We made a counter offer with the advice he gave us and it was accepted. Due to our current location in Indianapolis, Indiana we could not take care of the inspections, repairs, etc. Michael Manley took care of all these items either himself or through the concierge service that Coldwell Banker Caine offers. We closed almost a year from the date we first put it on the market with the first realtor for a higher price that we had with any other contract.
Lynn and I recommend Michael to you as a Professional Realtor. He keeps up with the market, he is attentive to your needs, and represents himself in a professional manner. We cannot say that everyone will have the same success as we did, but we feel he will do his best for you.
Thank you , Michael for all your hard work and effort you did in the sell of this home. You do not know how much this means to us.
Regards,
Randall & Lynn Cochran
To whom it may concern;
J. Michael Manley was referred to me after being unsuccessful with the first realtor at Coldwell Banker. It was amazing how effective Michael was in selling our house. I believe his knowledge and understanding of the business is unparalleled with anyone else I have ever dealt with.
He took the time to understand the property we were selling, the needs of our family. and went out of his way to find interest in our house. In three weeks he brought and offer in, which we could not believe, especially in today's market. He followed through every concern I ever had and continually demonstrated his experience from start to finish. I have since referred everyone I know who is looking to buy or sell a house to him.

David Gottler
Dear Michael,
I would like to express my appreciation for the hard work and service you extended me with respect to the recent marketing and sell of my home.
Foremost, I commend you for securing a buyer for my home despite adverse market conditions. Undoubtedly this was due to your availability and willingness to show the property, in addition to your extensive knowledge of the competition in the local market.
I appreciate the fact that you were willing, responsive and prepared to take my property after I terminated my relationship with another listing agent (with whom I had a past work relationship). The former agent had the property listed for 4-6 weeks with no showings including one open house; you had multiple showings within the first month of showing the property and had a buyer in the third month.
Other items that resonate with me include that you:
- Anticipated my needs and were prepared at our first meeting by obtaining market comparisons and knowledge about my competition;
- Were candid with me about what it would take to sell my home, e.g. staging;
- Accurately appraised my home - the selling price was actually the estimate you provided me when you preformed your selling price analysis;
- Staged my house with your professional effects after I had moved to another state; took professional pictures to showcase my home;
- Assisted with property maintenance - advised me when the lawn required maintenance and attended to the house when other realtors left lights on; and
- Scheduled, managed and resolved the repairs required to close on the house.
I highly recommend you to family, friends and former coworkers who reside in the Greenville area, It has been a pleasure to work with you.
Regards,
Kelly M. Black
Dear Michael,
Thank you so much for handling the sale of my house. I was somewhat skeptical about getting a real estate agent but after 6 months of trying to sell my house by owner I decided to give it a try. I interviewed three other agents and none of them came as prepared as you did to the interview. I was very impressed with the research you did, your recommendations, your marketing plan, ect. Well results speak for themselves. After only 14 days you had a primary and backup contract on my house.
I really appreciate the hard work you invested from getting the contracts to getting my house sold. I never had to worry about a thing. You were very helpful in explaining all of the steps we went through and gave me very realistic explanations about what I should expect. Your communication level with me was perfect. You took care of everything except packing my things and moving me out of the house.
Thank you for making the process easy and painless. I will continue to rcommend you to all of my friends and colleagues. In addition, I will look forward to continuing to work with you as my husband and I search for a new home.
Sincerely,
Catherine M. Nix
Dear Mr. Smith,
We would like to take this opportunity to tell you how fortunate we were recently to have had the pleasure of working with one of your representatives, Mr. J. Michael Manly...not only as a selling agent, but, also, as a listing agent! We lucked up on Michael when he happened to be the listing agent for a home we were interested in at 1200 Pelham. What a pleasant and professional young man to work with! We eventually purchased the home, and, were so impressed with his previous service to us that we asked him to list our home in Pelham Springs... Michael, once again, gave us outstanding service, and, through his expertise and effort, was involved in enabling us to sell our home at the highest price ever in that town house community!
We hope that you will pass on to Michael how much we appreciate the service, courtesy and professional manner in which he represented Coldwell Banker Caine.
Sincerely,
Anne & Jerry Peeler
Dear Michael,
I am two weeks away from moving into my new home and I must say the last 2 months have been a whirlwind. With my travel schedule, trying to finish coursework to meet my graduation deadline, the holidays, and my busywork work schedule, I am not sure if I could have gone through the purchase of a new home without your help!
I truly thought customer service was a lost art, until I contacted you about the home for sale which I ultimately purchased. I don't think I've ever dealt with anyone who treated me with so much respect, who was so proactive in helping me get information, and who spent personal time doing research to help me make a purchase decision.
Your work ethic and customer commitment fostered a wonderful relationship of trust in the process of negotiating and purchasing my new home.
Thanks! I have and will continue to tell friends and colleagues about you and the superb experience you provided me. You are awesome!

Dear Sirs,
I recently sold my home and purchased my new one in Greenville. Michael Manly was the Realtor who sold my home and helped me find a new one. He was so helpful at all times in making decisions and always ready to help when I needed advice. His suggestions were welcome, helpful and thorough in deciding the selling price of my home. No matter how many times I called him he was curteous and helped me through some very difficult times. I can't praise him enough or thank him and Coldwell Bankers for their assistance.
Sincerely,
Lorraine McAuliff
...Coldwell Banker is indeed fortunate to have J. Michael Manley as a vital part of your team! We have bought and sold 7 homes in the past 34 years. We have worked with some very excellent and seasoned realtors. Considering all aspects, Michael Manley is far and above “exceptional” and is #1 in my book.
Michael is to be commended for a job VERY WELL DONE! It is rare to find one so well prepared and organized, with exceptional follow through. Above and beyond all the above, Michael has a gift of interpersonal relationship, listens well, and responds clearly and with kindness.
With much gratitude,
Lyn and Riley Northam

...Mr. Manley’s services far and above exceeded my expectations and actually surpassed my experiences by anyone in any profession. I will from now on use Mr. Manley for all my real estate transactions and would very strongly recommend his services to family and friends.

Don and I would like to take the opportunity to tell you what a wonderful Realtor you have employed with your firm…we met with Michael Manley and he gave us information on what he thought would help us in the selling of our home. One of his suggestions really surprised me, but we did it. Michael worked with us, keeping us posted on the showings of our home and other details going on….He told Don at our first meeting he would sell our Condo and he has. We would freely recommend Michael to family and friends.
Satisfied Customers.

...After interviewing various Realtors, we were very impressed with the presentation of Michael Manley….We received a full price offer in February and closed in March. We don’t feel that this sale would have been so efficiently made without the expertise of Michael Manley.
Thank you for all your fine work,
Ed and Norma Pierson
We wanted to thank you for going the extra mile in the sale of our house and purchase of our new house….During the construction phase of our new house, on nearly a daily basis throughout the construction process, you made sure our vision was communicated and our concerns were addressed in a prompt manner. Both Karin and I thank you for all your hard work.
Respectfully,
John and Karin Jaruzel
...I was instantly impressed by your professionalism and appreciative of the suggestions and little tips you gave us at our first meeting. You did not rush us and were not a “pushy salesman” which really won me over.
Thanks for everything!
