Info section: "Remember, prospective buyers will be 'comparison
shopping' and
keenly aware of subtle differences in houses for sale in the area. Be
sure to tell your listing broker why yours is special - from any home
remodeling to afternoon winter sunshine."

From the Buyer
Info
section: "The obvious source of money for your down payment is either
your
savings or the proceeds from the sale of a home you already own, but
there are some other not so obvious sources. In recent years, for
example, 'parent power' has taken some new twists for first-time
buyers."

Plan section: "If your agent is not a good negotiator, not

From the Home
Inspectors section: "Even if the home inspection is to be for
informational purposes only, it is your duty to get a solid general
knowledge about the property you are about to purchase. To date,
the state of Maryland does not require a formal home inspection.
The more you know the better."

Dear Sir or Madam:
We are pleased to provide a recommendation for Mrs. Zona Teal of Long
and Foster Realtors. My husband and I were in the market to buy a
single family home to accommodate our growing family, when we were
referred to Mrs. Teal for assistance.
Searching for a home during that time proved to be quite a challenge,
even for us, who were not first time home owners. Mrs. Teal was very
professional and patient throughout the entire process. She always
answered our questions and kept us informed of any changes in the
market.
We were very pleased with her depth of knowledge of the real estate
industry and being able to balance that with our needs. She assisted us
with all aspects of the buying process, including inspectors, surveys,
etc.
We would highly recommend her as a real estate agent!
Sincerely,
Sharon and John O.
To Whom It May Concern:
It is with great honor and privilege to be writing this recommendation
for Mrs. Zona Teal.
Four years ago, I was in need of a realtor to assist me with renting my
property in Baltimore City. The late Mr. Larry G. highly recommended
Mrs. Teal and I have been so grateful for his recommendation.
During all of our communications, I have found Mrs. Teal to be a most
professional business person. Mrs. Teal shows her dedication to the
profession by detailing all requests for information regarding my
property. She thoroughly reviews all rental documents, meets with my
tenant to review rental agreements, calls me immediately if the tenant
has any questions or concerns, updates me on changes in Baltimore City
codes for rental property and immediately mails or emails these
documents to me.
Mrs. Teal is most trustworthy, enthusiastic, has a pleasant attitude,
is a caring person and has a wonderful personality. She is the type of
person who I would have gravitated to because of her professionalism. I
have been very impressed with Mrs. Teal's attention to detail, her
ability to communicate on all levels, and her leadership skills in
teaching real estate classes.
I have appreciated Mrs. Zona Teal and am looking forward to working
with her throughout the renting of my property and if I should decide
to sell, Mrs. Teal will be my first choice for a realtor.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jacqueline W.
To whom it may concern;
I would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank the realty team
of Zona Teal and Yvette Livingston for their outstanding service in

Their attention to detail and perseverance in taking care of every
aspect of the process gave me a sense of tranquility and confidence.
Long and Foster is a great name in the business, but can only achieve a
continued status of greatness with exceptional people like these
professional individuals.
In an atmosphere of extreme competition, it is refreshing to know that
there are still people who will provide exceptional service from
beginning to end.
Again, thank you for the pleasure of being serviced by these brilliant
professionals.
I would definitely recommend this team to anyone searching for
exceptional representation in the real estate arena.
Sincerely
Orlando R.
Yvette and Zona,
I would like to take a moment to express my sincere thanks for a job
well done in the quick sale of my home.
My husband and I were pleased with the educational tools provided, your
patience and communication through a challenging inspection period, and
your protection of our interests (confidentially) throughout the
process. Everything I have listed above simply touches the surface.
There are not enough words to express our gratitude. All of your hard
work lead to a contract on our home within five days and a successful
closing within thirty days.
It is my pleasure to highly recommend the Teal and Livingston Team to
anyone who needs solid real estate assistance throughout the states of
Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Thank you both for staying in touch and becoming life long friends to
our family.
Warm regards,
Mrs. L. S.
