"___I would like to
take this opportunity to thank you for the invaluable industry
insight that you have offered so freely. You displayed an intimate
knowledge of industry trends and developments that was critical
in guiding my thoughts toward an informed decision regarding my
investment options.
I had just arrived in the Dallas
area from Los Angeles with an eye toward opening a transmission
repair facility under “another” franchise name. It
was truly a fortunate occasion to meet you. Not only did you introduce
me to the right personalities, but offered your extensive experience
in protecting my interests in the succeeding transactions. I can
only imagine what might have become of my family’s future
had I not placed my trust in your capable hands.
You are a true gentleman and I am
proud to count you among the few friends that I have in our new
city. It was a real blessing that we met and I have you to thank
for a brighter future that has opened up to us.
Sincerely,
J.Michael Patanne
Owner, Eagle Transmission of Richardson

" --- would be doing you a huge disservice
if I did not state: "Concerning ethics & fairness, my
eyes roll back & I almost swallow my tongue in regards to
how some brokers represent the fiduciary responsibility of their
clients. Bob McDowell is primarily concerned with the proper representation
of his client and assures that other parties are given fully ethical
& excellent treatment with fairness. At the closing table
goodwill prevails. McDowell is a good businessman and a gentleman."
