Tom & KJ Feury
We first started doing business with Merrill L Thomas Agency in the early 1990’s when we would rent properties for a week’s stay in the Lake Placid region for the family and friends. Our experience was always positive as they had excellent service and wonderful locations.
So, flash forward 30 years and it is no wonder that we looked to Merrill L Thomas to help us fulfill a lifelong dream of buying our own vacation home in the Adirondacks. We saw a home that we were interested in that happened to be listed by a Merrill agent, Michelle LeBlanc Blair, so we started there. Michelle did not just try to “sell” us her listing, but worked to find us a home that most met our needs. She literally took us from the far southern corner of the ADK to the far north in search of this home. She
continued to help us negotiate a deal that felt fair even after a couple fell through. This included bringing her broker in to get another opinion on some deals that didn’t feel right. Two months later, we had our deal, and then the real work began. Michelle helped us with finding inspectors, insurance agents, lawyers and lenders. She came to the inspection herself and even sat in at the closing for us when we were unable to get there ourselves that day.
Even now, almost 6 months after that closing, she has followed up with us to ensure that all is as expected. It is, and I highly recommend considering using Michelle and Merrill L Thomas for all your ADK adventures in real estate!
