A note from Peter Armato, former Executive Director of the Savannah Development and Renewal Authority 1993-1999:
Ron,
I almost began shedding tears of joy when I saw
in your newsletter the photos of the excavation of Ellis Square! At long last, the plans that
so many of us advocated and mapped out during the mid-1990s, to replace the City Market Garage with an underground parking
deck and a restored square, are moving forward. How Thrilling!
This project will have as big an impact for Downtown Savannah as the restoration of
Post Office Square did in Boston's Financial District. I had the good fortune to walk through that sublime urban space five
days a week when I directed a Boston-based economic development organization, and I can't wait
to see the positive transformation in Savannah's City Market district.
Not sure when our next trip
to Savannah will be, but Randy and I have at least one more
reason to make it soon.
Thanks so much for sending your informative newsletter, Ron!
All the
best to you and Jim,
Peter

Attn: Ronald Melander
Please accept our sincere thanks for your professionalism, energy, perseverance,
and most of all, your ability to employ your vast experience on our behalf. There was never for a moment throughout this whirlwind
set of events that we ever second-guessed our decision to have you represent us in purchasing our home.
Your depth of knowledge of the industry and your apt predictions of the market's
behavior, coupled with your ability to use all the tools available to you was quite impressive to watch. We saw you very skillfully
manage issue after issue, knocking down all the obstacles that sat between us and the home of our dreams. Throughout the entire
process, you kept us calm, involved, informed, and excited about the purchase of our new home.
In a world where customer service with a personal touch is so often lacking,
you outclassed them all. Our only regret is that because the whole process took such a short time, we did not get to work
with you longer. You can rest assured that we will never look for another realtor again as long as you are still in the business.
Please send anyone to talk to us about our experience with you. We will gladly
tell them that they would be making a mistake to not be represented by you, especially in today’s maket.
Thanks again for exceeding our expectations at every turn and helping us to
get our new home!
Best regards,
Christopher Kerr & Michael Santmyer"
