I have been working with Adele since she came on board with us at Wm. Pitt Sotheby's. It was a seamless transition and over a short period of time it became clear she would be more of a partner to each of us, rather than a manager. She is knowledgeable and experienced where it counts: in real estate practice and in knowing and anticipating the ever-changing relationships we, as agents, face on a day-to-day, actually, make that on a minute-to-minute basis with our clients and all of the parties involved within the average and not-so-average real estate transaction. Adele has made sure we have a wide range of tools we need to succeed. She works extremely hard to support us, our office and our presence in the towns we serve and has a respected and close relationship with the corporate administration that make the decisions that affect us as agents every day. She is involved with our local and state boards and has her ear to the ground in regard to what's going on in the industry nationally and keeps us abreast of our ever-changing business and how we can best navigate the latest in technology, connecting with clients and providing them with the positive and results oriented experience only we at Wm. Pitt Sotheby's can provide. She is always available and working toward our common good, and in turn our clients best interests, while she makes time to help us individually. I have had a few difficult situations, where I wasn't sure how best to proceed with an upset client or agent and Adele made herself available, listened and organized a solution that truly worked out well. I know she has my back. I feel very comfortable going to her with any thought or question and know while she is objective, she cares more than any other manager I have worked for. She is a friend. As well as a manager; a cheerleader; a sounding board and somehow knows what each of us needs most, whether it be a push, a different point of view working a problem or a bit of time and space, she's got us. And that 'us' is a large difference that I see here in our office, as compared to other offices in our area. The agents in our office are hugely supportive of each other and that overall atmosphere has a lot to do with Adele. In speaking with other agents in competing offices, they don't seem to have the camaraderie we have, nor the support and a lot of them feel like they are on their own. I can't say how thankful I am that our office is like a family. I am always comfortable coming into the office and knowing that my colleagues support me and I them. That attitude comes from the top. There isn't any other place I would rather be. Sincerely, Jean
