“Hello Mrs. van Bevern and Mr. van Bevern:
I very much wanted to write to you and tell you that I have very good memories of our time together.
Throughout my life I have visited many properties and met many real estate agents, but I have rarely enjoyed those visits as much as I did with you, thanks above all to the way that you do your work.
I would like to highlight just two points as an example:
– Your presentation of the properties was absolutely correct; you did not gloss over any defects or conceal any drawbacks.
– You do not use the bad and very widespread practice of hiding price increases (for example, gross-net cost, etc.).
This kind of reliable, honest business style and fulfilment of promises could be considered normal.
But I want to thank you especially for the assistance you provided above and beyond business matters. I undoubtedly asked you a lot of questions that it really wasn’t your responsibility to answer. And it was obvious to me that you didn’t answer them as if it were an obligation, but rather because you clearly enjoyed being able to tell me more about Uruguay.
I am also extremely impressed by your kind cooperation with matters that have arisen now, after the purchase of my house.
I am anxiously looking forward to seeing my new house again, but also to seeing you again as well.
Best wishes from Germany.”
“Quick, thorough, trustworthy and friendly. These are the best words to describe Martina van Bevern in her business dealings with us. Thanks so much, we had a wonderful time!”

“Dear Mrs. van Bevern:
We are back in Germany now and would like to thank you very much for your dedication and effort in helping us with our house-hunting in Uruguay.
The three days you spent introducing us to the country and showing us houses were very informative and enjoyable for us.
As “newcomers” in Uruguay it was especially important for us to first get a broad general idea of the region and then of the particular type of property (plot of land, country home, house, apartment, etc.) that would be right for us. During the time we spent with you, we were able to make our choice. Although we cannot buy a property right now, we will soon meet with you again and will probably be “neighbours”, since in Uruguay, you are usually no more than two hours away from anyone else!
Best regards from Munich,
The Beckmann family”
