"Yes, I sold the cabin! The sales price
was $317,500. It only took about 5 weeks. The buyers found the
cabin from the ad on your web site. They are local people. We
had a closing at the end of August. Thank you for doing such a
great job with the advertisement. I would recommend your services
to anyone, and I would certainly advertise with you again!"
-- M. J. Duval, Hancock Vt
The overall cost of advertising in Picket Fence Preview
wasvery reasonable and then when you factor in the number of potential
offers,well--all I can say is that I doubt if any real estate
agent would comeclose to this amount of success!".................S.

I'm glad you called and introduced us to Picket Fence Preview.Your ideas and distribution are excellent! I think what you're doing issplendid and without going through a broker either! I applaud PicketFence Preview for all that you're doing!.......Picket Fence Preview advertiser
What I like about Picket Fence Preview is being able
to get alarge sized advertisement. With a realtor, you get a 1
inch square ad -no one can really tell what a house is like with
such a small ad.".................................................................E.D.,Piermont,

When realtors tried to list my house I couldn't believe all the
back stabbingand lying, manipulative efforts, involved in getting
me to overprice myhouse in order to get the listing.
With Picket Fence Preview the professional appraisel put
my mindto rest and it sold in 2 weeks for my asking price......................................................C.

I think Picket Fence Preview provides an excellent alternativethan
going with a realtor. We had two realtors call and set up showingsand
neither one kept their appointments! I never had that problem
with anyprivate buyers.".............................Skip

advertising, as well as your guidance,were all very helpful in
marketing and selling the property.".....M.D.,Pittsford,
