Hi Carlos,
I am right now dealing with Manny Perez from your office and told him that I had been with Keyes for a while. I commented with Manny about how much I liked your leadership and management style and that I really admired your depth of knowledge of the Real Estate business.
I also take this opportunity to tell you that Manny has followed your leadership.
He has been extremely professional throughout a difficult negotiation.
I am sorry that my kind of activity with the Real Estate world did not fit with your outfit, but would recommend your services to any and all.
Good luck,
Irene

He represents me according to my values. Watches the backs of his associates as manager. He continues to grow and shares the growth. He listens closely, understands his clients wants and needs, respects deadlines, and can handle multiple tasks. He has proven on numerous occasions that he is one of the best at what he does. He has a patient, and calm personality that allows him to work well with others. Carlos fullfills his responsibilities with excellence.
