"Thank you Michael Leighton for selling my home on Cape Cod. I requested a REALISTIC listing price for my home. What I received was not just a realistic selling price but a realistic SELLING PLAN. My goal as a seller obviously was to receive the maximum selling price. The suggested selling plan had a listing price a bit high with a time plan to lower the price to sell. I was notified of every showing. I received "seller's feedback" regarding every showing. Once my home went under contract, I left the state. Michael Leighton did all the inspections. He repaired smoke detectors, house numbers, and helped with power-of-attorney in the passing of papers. I was able to enjoy my vacation in Hawaii, while Michael Leighton represented me in the selling of my home. Thanks again for a very professional selling of my home."

"An experience with Michael Leighton and his staff is what every Buyer and Seller

needs and wants. Ours was excellent from the start to the finish. This was a professional relationship of trust and confidence. From our first meeting with Michael, we felt we had made the right decision to employ his firm to handle all negotiations on our rental, as well as selling the property especially since we were long distance owners. Michael, along with his extremely efficient staff, did just that, with care, skill and diligence. We thank him and everyone from the Leighton Group and wish them much continued success in the future."

"It was truly a pleasure working with you and your staff on the recent sale of our Ocean Edge condominium. You were both realistic and practical in your assessment of the marketplace, making the sale a pleasant experience despite the fact that certain changes at Ocean Edge made our decision to sell sooner than we might have expected. Having worked with many realtors both on the Cape and off, I must say that your Sales and Rental divisions performed their tasks with a high degree of professionalism. My wife and I greatly appreciate working with you and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in the future."

"Thanks for all of your assistance on our purchase of 43 Endicott. What had the potential to be a complicated transaction turned out to be quite smooth. Your team's assistance with the sale and rental matters helped ease the transaction. We look forward to a continued relationship this summer and beyond."

"This will be a strange request because it is to a Realty Executives agent, coming from an agent of a large national franchise, whose Ocean Edge condo is listed with a small Cape Cod broker. You have been mailing us consistently and have demonstrated yourself as a professional and knowledgeable agent with great follow through. I supervise 500+ agents here and if everyone prospected the way you do wed be the number 1 company in our area instead of number 2. I read everything you send because its timely, well evaluated and meaningful. If I didnt have the strong family tie and friendship with this agent, Id hire you in a heartbeat."

Thank you very much for a job very well done. I have bought and sold more than a few properties over the years and the service I received from you and Greta was the best ever. Your professionalism and both yours and Greta's follow-up and attention to detail was second to none. Even down to sending me phone numbers of all the utilities so that I could cancel or switch my service."

"We have really enjoyed working with Leighton Realty for the rental of our condo. Everyone in the office has been professional and easy to work with. They've demonstrated a genuine concern for our property - from the biggest issues to the smallest of details. And they worked hard to fill our rental schedule, as they said they would. We'll be contracting with them again for next season."

Michael helped us sell not just one, but two condos at Ocean Edge during a tight market when very little else was moving. We sold quickly and at a price we felt was fair. Best of all, everyone in the office was a pleasure to work with. We also used the office to rent our condos and will continue to use their services."

"When we first decided that we were going to look for a vacation home on the Cape we relied on Michaels experience, friendly personality and honesty to advise and guide us to our first Ocean Edge condo. Since that time, we have purchased, sold and rented many Ocean Edge condos through him. We wouldnt consider using anyone else."

"As owners in Ocean Edge for over 10 years, we would highly recommend Michael Leighton to all owners & renters.. Their staff is highly motivated, extremely resourceful & completely trustworthy."

"I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for all your professional help on the sale of our condo at 47 Billington! Your market analysis of our unit was highly professional, thorough and extremely accurate. I was most impressed with the quality and extent of pictures you placed on the MLS. The day our condo was listed I felt confident that it was shown to its best advantage and clearly stood out from the other listings. Two and a half weeks later we were looking at multiple offers! Throughout the process I very much appreciated your responsiveness to my questions. I felt that you and Bernie were very knowledgeable, helpful and attentive to the sale process. Bernie clearly went out of his way one day before closing to arrange for a missed payment at the Ocean Edge management office and avert a delay at closing. Once again, Thanks for your professional and superb service. I know we made the right choice when we chose you to sell our Ocean Edge home."

"Michael was a very professional person to work with on our purchase. He knows the Cape market extremely well, particularly Ocean Edge and the Brewster area. We exchanged a multitude of emails and his advice was always timely and poignant. When I was getting discouraged with the search process, he kept me on the right track. I would definitely recommend him as the realtor to use on the Cape."

"My wife and I fell in love with the Brewster, Orleans, Chatham area about 15 years ago when we were first married. It has always been a dream of ours that someday we would own our own place at the Cape. About 2 years ago we half-heartedly approached the buying process. As a result of working with one agent, we got terrible results. No follow-up and no serious outcome. We decided to try contacting an agent over the internet and that's when we found Michael Leighton. Michael was very eager to work with us, immediately setting up 3 appointments during our yearly visit to the Cape. It was on the 2nd appointment on the first day that we found our new home. Michael helped us through the negotiating process and finally the closing. Thanks to his experience we were able to bid the right price and come out getting exactly the house we wanted. He was also very helpful after the closing, providing us with the names of contacts on the Cape for different services and goods which we needed for our new house. Thank you Michael for all you've done. Hope to see you on the Cape!"

"Mr. Leighton was a pleasure to work with. Very thorough and able to really understand my unique needs in searching for property on the Cape. Moreover, he provided many small touches that went above and beyond the typical real estate agent, especially when there were hurdles thrown in the way."

"I worked with Michael Leighton in the summer of 2002 when my wife and I bought a condominium at the Ocean Edge in Brewster. Michael was very attentive to our needs and very honest in his dealings with us. He made the intimidating process of buying property much easier. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone interested in buying or selling property on Cape Cod."

"Michael Leighton was our real Estate Agent when we purchased a home in Brewster, Massachusetts on Cape Cod in September 2002. We are delighted with the overall service we received. Michael was thorough, and acquainted with every detail of the project. He was attentive to our needs. He would return every telephone call that we would make, and would either answer our questions or would soon find an answer, and would report back to us promptly. All of that with courtesy and promptness. He never thought twice about assisting us in peripheral issues, many of which were beyond the normal service one would expect. For example, he would advise us about appropriate stores in the area, and about the rules and regulations applying to the town dumb, etc. Michael's manner is soft spoken and laid-back, never pushing us. Yet, everything got done. He always offered the best advice at the right time."

Michael was there for me every step of the way. I could count on him for how to download the ads he mailed me faithfully for months, to a complete tour of the area and the market, and help through all the aspects of the closing and ongoing renting as I needed."
