Twenty years later and in a much different market, we once again reached out to Edna. Only this time it was for our son's first house. On a very tight budget and willing to make our own improvements, we thought that "short sales" would be our only option. How wrong we were. Edna was able to breakdown the pro's and especially the con's of short sales. Our search was now more focused. She graciously showed us any home we found worthy and was able to provide needed local information. When we fell in love with the house our son purchased, Edna as before, was non stop. Gathering and organizing all the needed signatures, tax info, utility cost, and even trusted contractors and inspectors was much appreciated. Our son and his girlfriend are all moved in and they are very happy with their home purchase and Edna. It goes without saying that you always remember your first home. We also remembered our first realtor, and are honored she helped our son. Thank you Edna!

Long before and from the day our "For Sale" sign went up Tom and Terry worked diligently towards changing that to "Sold". They were hands-on realtors, helping us stage our home, informing us on the realities of the market and keeping in close contact about buyer interest. They did a superb job at managing the long distance sale. We recommend them for their personal, forthright and experienced means of business.

Dear Terry and Tom, Ray and I want to thank you for all the hard work and sleepless nights you put in to helping us sell our house. We sincerely appreciate your dedication to customer service and all you did to make this look effortless. It is easy to see why you have been In business for nearly 50 years. Thank you!

Maggie did an exquisite job helping me to find a home. She found many options for me to look at and for each house she had my "house checklist" in mind 100% of the time. Maggie was extremely thorough and answered all of my questions. She was very open and flexible meeting me at various times that were easiest for me. She was patient with me when I asked to see places more than once and she was happy to provide me with everything I needed. Maggie was also very informative and explained to me multiple options that I had in regards to buying my new home. There was so much that I didn't know and she truly was so helpful in teaching me! She helped me make a sound & responsible choice when buying my home and made sure that I thought it over (which I truly appreciate because I would've picked a house that was too much for me to pay for). Maggie was always had what I wanted and NEEDED in her mind. Buying a house is supposedly such a stressful adventure, but I felt that Maggie kept me at ease the entire time. She is, by far, one of the best professionals I have ever had the privilege of working with and I highly recommend her for any realtor needs! I am beyond impressed with Maggie's expertise and professionalism!

Sandy (Coveleski), We can't thank you enough for all of your hard work. What we thought was impossible, you made possible! We could not have realized our dream if it had not been for you! Thanks for believing in us, and working with us! We love our house and feel so blessed and fortunate that you were a part of it! Thanks Again,

Dear Sandy (Coveleski), Thank you for all of your help, support and advice over the past year of house hunting & house selling. But most of all, thank you fro bringing us to 20 Rodney Road, over new home. Best Wishes,

Thanks for the kind remarks. A number of our friends questioned us why, in this sellers' market, we did not sell our home without a realtor? Your professionalism proved that we made two correct decisions. First the decision to list with a realtor and second, and most important to list with you. Your assessment of the value was correct, you immediately brought a buyer, which enabled us to focus on our new home, and you helped us resolve the "water" problem to the satisfaction of both parties. Please feel free to give our names as very satisfied clients.

Dear Tom, I enjoyed working with you. I also think everything went smoothly, even though the timing issues came up at the end. Have a happy New Year. Please feel free to use me as a reference- I found you to be reliable, insightful, professional, and timely. Best Regards

Dear Becky, Steve and I would like to thank you for all that you did to get us in our home! We greatly appreciate all your hard work and time spent to get everything done so we could move in. Thank you again,

Dear Sandy, Thank you so much for the All Seasons gift certificate and for finding just the right house for our family! Craig told me you were a special lady. You are so kind - thank you! Love,

Dear Becky, Becky, Thank you so much for all your help with our move to Delaware. You really made us feel relaxed and welcomed on our journey.

Dear Tom & Terry, have enclosed a copy of the note I sent recently to Ellen. We appreciate the professionalism again extended to us by Ellen and Burns and Ellis Realtors during the sale of our home in Dover! Sincerely,

Dear Terry & Tom, I just wanted to convey to you the superb job that Becky Curry did on the selling of my home. She was delightful to work with, efficient in handling all aspects of the sale and charming everyone in the process. You should be proud to have her as one of your agents. Sincerely,

Terry & Tom, Maggie did a wonderful job helping me find my first home for my family and I. She worked with us night and day until we found just the right home. Once we found it she was quick, aggressive, and dedicated to make sure we got it! I would highly recommend her if you are looking to buy a home.

Could pretty much 'sum-up' Maggie with a single word...FANTASTIC!!! We were selling my deceased mother's home and Maggie told us which of many offers was the best and why. She also knew the market value of the property. She was always there for us. Knows her 'stuff' and has a great personality.

Sandy C., Thank you for encouraging me to meet my dream of buying a beach house. I have a new lease on life and am so excited!

Tom & Terry helped us sell our house in Dover in one of the toughest climates in the great housing crash. We had to do everything long distance from North Carolina. Thanks to their diligence and dedication our house sold and we were able to move on. We will never forget you both, thank you.

Our association with Burns and Ellis Realty began 50 years ago, and we would never ever consider any other real estate company in the Dover/Kent County area. Terry and Tom know all and more there is to know about the Delaware Real Estate business. And, they make sure their agents are kept abreast of the most current changes, and are always available to assist their agents when necessary. When you contact them, they go the extra mile and represent you 100%.

Bob and I would like to thank you for helping us sell our house. As a long time friend from “the old neighborhood”, you were our first and only choice of real estate agent when we needed to sell our house. We both agree that you, Tom and your team where a great choice. Months before we put the house on the market, you walked us through the process of selling and preparing our house. Our initial meeting eased our worries. Our house sold after only 8 days on the market. Not only is that amazing, it also proves you are very knowledgeable, professional and respected in our community. Again, thank you and your team for making what can be a difficult process very easy.
