"Dear Mr. Acuff,
This letter concerns your agent, Rich McIlhenny. Although a few months have since passed, I have not forgotten the excellent service provided by Mr. McIlhenny to us in 2010. I was referred to Rich by my daughter and son in-law, Kristina and Chris, who were very pleased with him during the purchase of their first home in 2008.
During a stressful time, my sister Rose Marie and I had to place our mother's South Philadelphia home on the market in Spring 2010, in order to pay for her mounting nursing home bills. We signed with a local realtor, but she turned out to be ineffective. In the meantime, along with our cousin Joann, we became executors for our aunt's estate at which time we listed the Plymouth Meetin property with Rich in the summer of 2010. We immediately recognized a huge difference between agents, so after the first contract ran out we also listed my mothers house with Rich
To make a long story short, in a very difficult real estate market we were able to sell BOTH homes, making settlement on the same day coincidentally, in December 2010. Friends were amazed that we were able to sell any home, let alone two, in the current market. I truly believe the only reason both homes sold was because Rich was our agent.
Throughout the entire process, Rich was instantly available to return calls and emails, make suggestions, offer opinions, calm anxieties, meet us outide the office for signatures,etc. His upbeat attitude and down to earth sense of humor, combined with his business expertise and work ethic, are truly an unbeatable combination. We never felt that he was too busy or juggling too many clients, or that the homes were too small to warrant his attention. Rich is a true professional-no matter if the property is $100,000 or $1 million-he is committed to putting in as much time as necessary to complete the deal.
Mr Rich McIlhenny is a great asset to your Re/Max office and to the real estate field in general. He has my absolute highest regard and recommendation, and I wish him continued success and many blessings in the future."

"Rich McIlhenny was our real estate agent for the sale of 729 Cornelia Place in Chestnut Hill PA. I am pleased to recommend him without reservation.
Rich guided us throughout the sales process, especially during the critical time of preparing the house for sale, as well as guiding us through the offer process. I felt completely prepared and was confident that we had focused on the right priorites on the front and back end of the sale.
Rich is a straightforward communicator who is able to effectively deal with a variety of personalities, which is very important in what can become a highly charged and emotional transaction. He is exceptionally organized and detail oriented. And he's a genuinely caring person."

" It gives me great pleasure to write this letter in support of Rich McIlhenny as an exceptional person and most competent real estate agent. I can say with certainty that he is the finest agent I've worked with in 40 yrs. As the current owner of 9.5 homes from the Florida Keys to British Columbia, I say this with extensive experience in these relationships. We first met two years ago responding to a house he had listed. I was interested in finding a house in Chestnut Hill for my daughter. During the next two years he gently kept us in the loop exposing us to all of the qualifying properties knowing that the purchase was discretionary and not eminent. Last fall all of his hard work and our attention paid dividends with the purchase of the perfect home for our daughter and family. His outstanding integrity and hard work distinguishes him as a person of impeccable charachter while possessing a good business sense with a positive attitude for the well being of others.
I cannot think of an individual who would have a better fit as an agent for buying or selling a house in our community. Richard has the educational and professional background to properly represent the buyer, seller and community with integrity. In addition, he has a strong desire for community service, support for our city and its many fine institutions. Lastly, Richard is a highly personable and outgoing person who is a pleasure to be with.
It is with great pleasure to recommend Richard McIlhenny without reservation!"
