I am writing on behalf of Mansion Minders, specifically, Amanda and Jeremy Jackson.  Amanda and Jeremy have now taken care of two of my listings and I have had the privilege of getting to know them over the past five months.  
 
The first home they minded sold the first week as they had it beautifully staged, immaculately cared for, and we had multiple offers.  Immediately, I asked if they would be able to move to another listing of mine that was at a price point and location that could take over a year to sell, typically.  Once again, they have exceeded our expectations in the level of care and detail they have put into making this home appealing to the masses.  This one is under contract in record time.  I only wish I had another one for them to move into right now!
 
In my time coming and going from the listings, I have had the chance to get to know this couple on a more personal level.  They are a talented, beautiful, and caring couple.  They were very accommodating to our needs and special requests.  They always responded in a timely manner and with grace.  Whoever gets the chance to get to know the Jacksons should consider themselves very fortunate.  
 
Wishing them the best,

Dear Seller, 

I am the former owner of 5205 Prince Lane in Point Noble. The house was vacant and on the market for a year and half before we contracted with Mansion Minders. Once Herb and Laurie moved in, it was fully staged with a “lived in” look and feel. They also assumed responsibility for utilities and landscape maintenance, reducing the time and expense we had to devote to the property. 

The Webbs have been thoroughly vetted by Mansion Minders. We also ran credit and background checks. They were very open and willing to work with us. They are not renters, but relocating homeowners, called subcontractors. They have no rights to your home and have a lot of rules to follow, which helped in the showing of our home. 

Once we received a valid sales contract, they were given notice to move out with a 30 day notice. They accommodated the buyer’s inspectors by leaving for a period of time – just as they did with showings – and gracefully moved out before the close date. Aside from any last minute work being completed by us for the new owners, the house was in move in condition. It was an easy transition. 

Subcontracted Minders carry insurance up to the cost of the home as well as contents insurance. As the seller, we kept our insurance in effect and Mansion Minders has proof of their $2M general liability policy as well. 

Brenda with Mansion Minders, managed the property and made sure the home was staged appropriately. They perform an inspection prior to move in and guarantee the home to be in that condition each month by doing “pop in” inspections. 

We found the service very helpful. The Minders took over “minding” our home, freeing up much of our time. Herb would keep a list of minor items that needed attention for me. These were things that I would not typically notice since we were not living there. 

Please feel free to call me with any questions at 214-693-8582. We were also very skeptical at first and delayed many months after our initial conversations with Brenda. It was a delay we later regretted. Our experience with Mansion Minders was very positive. From what I understand from Brenda, she has Minders that can help you right away, as the home they are currently in has sold and they need to be out before the close date. 

Respectfully, 

Duane Blakeney

Dear Brenda:

Confirming our voicemail of earlier this afternoon, we closed on the sale of our 5,500 s.f. Southlake home this morning. Thanks to the efforts of you and your Mansion Minders, the sale went smoothly and expeditiously.

As you know, we invested over $40,000 in remodeling the kitchen, replacing the roof and carpet, and repainting the interior of the house prior to listing it for sale on October 1, 2008. After being on the market, through two different realtors, for nearly a year, and receiving no acceptable offers during that time, we contracted with you in early May 2009 to bring in Mansion Minders to help us sell the home. Due to the objections of our realtor, your Minders did not move in to the house until mid-September. We again listed the house for sale with our third (and successful) realtor the end of October 2009, and a little over a month later, we received an acceptable offer on the home.

We attribute the successful sale of the home in large part to the efforts of you and your Minders, and we regret that we didn’t invite you in earlier. Your timeliness and attention to detail contributed significantly to the expeditious marketing and sale of our home, and we sincerely appreciate the honesty and integrity with which you approached this transaction. We would strongly recommend your services to anyone interested in achieving a timely sale of their property.

Thanks again for all your help in this transaction.

Sincerely,

David & Darla Christiansen
