March 2007 <br /> To Whom It May Concern; <br /> Last summer I had the pleasure of meeting Pat Briggs. I need to tell you how. <br /> My two daughters and I were living in a house that we were renting. We were informed <br /> that the owner of the house was going to sell and he was going to accomplish this task <br /> by doing an auction. I was put up in limbo because I was unsure that if this were sold at <br /> this auction, would I still have a place to live. If I did not have a place to 'live, what was <br /> the time frame that I needed to be out by? If I did have a place to live (new owners <br /> continued it as a rental property), what was going to happen to my rent? I had had an <br /> agreement with the owner about my rent to keep it affordable for us, so I had a concern <br /> there as well. li was approached by a local business owner about their concern for my <br /> family and they recommended that I get in contact with Pat Briggs. They graciously <br /> contacted him for me and explained what was going on. <br /> i met Pat a few days later. I had never met him before and really did not know what to <br /> expect. At first I felt a little reserved because he was asking so many questions, almost <br /> like an interview, but more personal. [ came to realize that he had a genuine concern <br /> about who I was and who my girls were. He cared and wanted to, know how he could fit <br /> in to make this a positive experience. I believe that if it had come down to my famfly not <br /> being able to live there any longer, he would have tried to assist me in finding just as <br /> good of a place. If not better, <br /> Leading up to the sale, Pat and I had talked at great length about how this could be a <br /> win-win experience for both of us. I was fully aware that the idea of someone buying my <br /> home and allowing me to live in it at a great deal less in costs than what it costs to own: it <br /> was like winning the lottery (odds aren't real good). I was fully aware that if he were not <br /> able to change my occupancy somehow, he would not be able to go forward with my <br /> ideal. Pat is an extremely smart businessman and visionary. We had talked about a <br /> number of different scenarios. <br /> What happened? My home was purchased the day of the auction and Pat did purchase <br /> it. He sold the home a short time later, with the understanding to the buyer, my <br /> occupancy. He made it very clear to the buyers of my situation and intentions for <br /> occupancy and he also drew up the lease agreement. <br /> Pat is a very genuine, personable and detailed person in everything he does. I was <br /> very blessed to have had the opportunity to meet this person because there are not a iot <br /> of people like him out there! <br /> sincerely— <br /> Dawn L Doering <br />
