Dear João,

The rental contract has been signed. The money for rent and deposit has been transferred. We a in the house today. The deal is closed. Thank you for your invaluable assistance. Throughout the process you have performed with professionalism and compassion. You have listened to us and offered insight without being pushy. We never got the impression that we were a routine case. Our situation was made more difficult because we both have been ill while traveling in our new country with the task of finding that rare long term lease. When the physical and emotional toll of our mission seemed overwhelming, you supported us. You got us appointments that we could not have secured. We feared that the appointments to visit properties on Tuesday would be fruitless, but in both cases we were at the top of the list of applicants. That sudden power over the process was an enormous comfort and advantage as we went through the decision making process. During the negotiation you were actively involved in texting, emailing, and talking on the phone with the landlord. You presented the contract to the attorney and prepared it for signing. These are just the things that we know you did. We imagine that you've been much busier, especially since we certainly aren't your only responsibility. In short, you made this happen and for that we will always be grateful.

Sincerely yours,

Pierre and Elise Clement
