To prospective clients:

Janet Owen represented me, as the Seller’s Agent, in a transaction involving a multi million-dollar
condominium located in Chicago’s Gold Coast.

My sale, despite adverse conditions was completed quickly and without complication. I attribute
the smooth transaction to Janet Owen’s wide reaching set of competencies. Many things set Mrs.
Owen apart from her counterparts in Chicago. Most noticeable are the following:

• Janet is dependable and proactive. When something is promised or needed, Janet will
follow through BEFORE the deadline. Her actions are creative and insightful and leave
nothing to chance.

• Janet is communicative and reachable. Irrespective of the median, Janet and her team
ensure that all parties in a transaction (and there are more than the average buyer or sell-
er may expect) are informed and up-to-date. She takes it upon herself to ensure that in-
formation flows, commitments are kept and surprises are avoided.

• Janet is factual. Her representation, due to years of industry experience, is insightful and
accurate. Her pricing guidance, market analysis and knowledge of matters contractual,
helped navigate the labyrinth of condominium association requirements.

The combination of skills and knowledge that Janet brought to the transaction are both far-reaching
and priceless. Her insight helped to accurately price my unit and generate an offer in near record
time. The rapid succession of events helped minimize carrying costs, and yielded an offer that was
well above other comparable within the same building.

It is often said that the greatest compliment one can pay an individual is a strong referral. I believe
that this is only partially true. Janet not only merits the highest referral, but she is currently listing
another property that I own. The reason for the repeat business is simple: I enjoy working with
morally grounded, sincere, competent and effective individuals. Janet Owen is all of these.

Sincerely,

Conrad von Peterffy
