| CLIENT TESTIMONIALS |
Jerry,
I can certainly help you put your client in touch with Mike Harper. We had a terrific experience working
with Mike. We may be working with him again to auction the Regent building in Burlington. We are not
very fond of realtors but I'll be the first to say that Mike works as hard as we do and he is very skilled at
what he does. I'd give him our highest recommendation. Thanks,
George T (R Investments Co.) Chapel Hill, NC

I just wanted to thank you for your efforts to market my town house in what we agree is a rather
problematical market. You presented an innovative auction marketing plan in an effort to gage market
acceptance and temperature before having me incur a lot of expense. You aggressively marketed the
property during a pre-auction offer period and gathered data that was useful in making a decision about
going forward with further auction marketing.
To your credit, you did not attempt to sell me on an auction at this time, when you were not sure if the
market would be fully receptive, instead, releasing me from my contract to allow me to wait the market
out. I appreciated your honesty and candor in evaluating the situation and helping me evaluate my
options. I appreciate that your commitment to your client outweighs any desire for immediate gains on
your part. Indeed, we may still do business in the future.
I would recommend your services to anyone in a similar situation. You were diligent in your follow-up
and your follow through. Thanks.

1. To accommodate her downsizing Mike Harper auctioned my mother's three bedroom Mt. Pleasant
home including major household items. The time period approximated 90 days as the home did not
immediately sell.
2. Performance: Excellent (interacted well with grown siblings charged with selling house and many life
long belongs)
3. <I would use their services again>.
4. Mike Harper and [his staff] worked beyond expectations to sell my mother's home in the beginning of
a poor real estate market. These are patient people.

As the Estate Attorney for the M H Estate, I would like to thank you for going the extra mile to see that the
two houses in Downtown Charleston were sold in a timely manner. We turned to you after traditional real
estate marketing proved unable to get the properties sold in time to avoid foreclosure. Your auction
marketing was effective in producing interested bidders for the two houses at a fair price in a minimum
of time. We were all glad to get these problematical properties sold in an equally problematical real
estate market.
The Absolute Auction method allowed us to be certain that the property would sell on a date certain, and
the competition that it created found the market price for the estate in a very uncertain real estate
market environment. Before the sale you coordinated with the loss mitigation company handling the
foreclosure to make sure that the foreclosure process was delayed pending the outcome of the auction.
After the auction was over, you worked diligently to make sure that the closing was handled efficiently,
and that our interests were protected. I particularly liked that all closing costs were pushed to the buyer,
saving the estate hundreds of dollars at closing. I am happy with the outcome, and we would recommend
your services to anyone in a similar situation. Thanks.

Mike,
This week has been so hectic that I haven’t really had a chance to touch base. Thanks so much for
handling our auctions in such a professional manner. As I mentioned, we are pleased with the total
amount although we were a little surprised at the sales prices of the individual lots.
