Testimonials "LampPost Realty sold our place in only two weeks even though it was the slow Christmas season for realty sales. Better yet, their service was outstanding. And best of all they did all this for some $6000 less than the going rate for realty commissions. For any of my future real estate needs, I'm going back to LampPost. " -- Ken "Dear Mike, We just wanted to take a minute to express our gratitude. You made our house buying experience a pleasant one. I guess we were a little nontraditional in that we were building a house. You made connecting with all the companies involved painless. When our closing date kept getting pushed back, you were supportive and understanding. You acted as our go-between and helped right wrongs. You answered our elementary questions and walked us through the whole process. You were instrumental in making our first time buying experience a painless one. We highly recommend you and your company! Your kindness and professionalism sold us…the cash back was just a bonus! Thanks again! " -- Jerry and Erin "YOU are the best realtors. You dot those I's and cross those T's! Keep up the good work!" -- Toby "My wife, Gladys, and I have been using your site almost exclusively checking out the home market in the Wilmington area. I have to say, it is by far the best real estate site I've ever worked with. I especially like the user configurable search capabilities and the depth of the information contained. It is the most complete search engine I've seen in the real estate market." -- Kerry "I've bought 3 houses in my life. The last one with LampPost Realty was by far the most pleasurable. My realtor at LampPost did an exceptional job of combining knowledge and professionalism with compassion and truly personalized attention - a winning combination!" -- Cindy "Barbara Earley is a customer's best friend. She makes the process of buying/selling a pleasant experience by being in control and ahead of the game. I trust Barbara and her experience and would recommend her to friends with real estate needs. Thank you again! " -- Debbie "It has been the utmost pleasure dealing with LampPost Realty. Barbara Halpern has been so informative with everything from local planting to school districts to job searching. She made our move a smooth transition and best of all we have found new dear friends. Thanks!" -- Linda and Dave "Our home purchase process was handled professionally with exquisite attention to detail. LampPost Realty comes highly recommended." -- Chuck & Danielle "Our experience with LampPost Realty was very professional, yet we were struck with how friendly and personalized our encounters became. The staff took time to get to know us and were effective in meeting our needs. They were able to quickly hone in on what we were looking for and made efficient use of our time together. This was a huge relocation for our family of seven. I have recommended LampPost to friends and would do so again without hesitation." -- Amy and Peter "Barbara Halpern was great. She was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the house buying experience from looking for a house through closing. I have recommended her to several people." -- Chris "Our experience with Mike & Barbara Halpern of LampPost Realty was a pleasure from start to finish. We received excellent service throughout the process of buying and selling a home. We’ve since referred friends and family to LampPost Realty and all have been equally satisfied. Not only did we appreciate LampPost’s professional service, but also their lower rate structure. The rebate at closing was the icing on the cake! " -- Ann & Keith "LampPost Realty was recommended by a friend and in the end I was very happy with her recommendation. Barbara Halpern was our broker and what a beautiful and easy (stress free) time we had buying our home. We had only two days to find and purchase our dream home and Barbara made it happen for us. The only person we would ever use or recommend is Barbara Halpern with LampPost Realty. You are the BEST!" -- Joann & Annie "We appreciated the very capable and cheerful way Barbara and Mike handled the sale of our house. It made a trying experience enjoyable. We will certainly recommend LampPost to those buying or selling their home." -- Barbara & Tuck "Barbara Halpern was a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable about Wilmington and surrounding areas. She did a lot of extra things for us which because we were from out of town really made the process less stressful. We highly recommend Barbara and LampPost Realty!" -- Jay and Karen "Mike Halpern was great to work with and have on my side. He was very helpful and informative with regards to the home-buying process. I was a first-time buyer and he helped guide me through the process with the utmost care. I learned a lot from him and greatly appreciate his assistance. I fully recommend Mike Halpern and LampPost Realty for those looking to purchase a home." -- Wendell "We located LampPost Realty on the internet. We liked what we saw on its web site and placed a call to set up an appointment. Scott spoke with Barbara Halpern and she asked probing questions so that she was prepared for our visit. An appointment was scheduled, which turned out to be the day Hurricane Charlie blew through the area. Undeterred Barbara rescheduled for the next day and came prepared with umbrellas. We have never had a real estate agent/broker work so hard for us. Barbara listened and understood the type of house and neighborhood we were interested in. This was especially difficult because at the time there were very few houses on the market in Wilmington. Barbara took the time to show us the local university, hospitals, parks and schools. Once we found the house we wanted, Barbara put in an offer and we flew home to California, leaving her in charge of literally everything. After several days of negotiating the final price with the seller, Barbara made the arrangements for an attorney to handle the escrow, located the insurance agent the homeowner was using and met inspectors and contractors on the site. We didn’t return until the day of closing. Since we planned to rent the house until we were ready to retire, we needed a rental agent, painter, handyman and landscaper so we could have work dates pre-set for our short visit at close of escrow. Barbara handled it all. She even gave us a lawn mower when she learned we were looking for a used one. Barbara still keeps in touch and even provided us with the names of some doctors in the area. We consider LampPost Realty a superb company to work with and whenever we learn that someone is looking for a realtor, we give LampPost Realty, and in particular Barbara, a rave recommendation. Thank you, Barbara. You have truly been fantastic. " -- Scott and Barbara "My experience with LampPost Realty was exceptional, from start to finish. Barbara Halpern's knowledgeable service and attention to detail made the entire process a pleasure. I moved to another city soon after listing my home with LampPost, so Barbara literally handled everything for me. From meeting with the inspectors and handling repairs to negotiating the offers and handling my closing, she took care of everything beautifully so I didn't have to worry. She managed every aspect of selling my home as if it were her own. Barbara and Mike Halpern's integrity and professionalism are well-known in the Wilmington real estate market. They have earned the respect not only of their clients, but of their peers, as well. I would highly recommend LampPost Realty to anyone interested in buying or selling a home." -- Toni
