What Buyers & Sellers Are Saying -- Client Testimonials

====================

"I have encountered many people through the years in the real estate business of every degree (developers, agents, investors, etc.), having been a partner to an architectural firm in New Orleans, but none can compare to the excellent service provided by Anthony Rael. After losing my business and home to the wrath of Hurricane Katrina, Anthony was instrumental in helping me find the perfect dwelling to suit my needs. He went above and beyond any level of service I have ever received from any real estate agent, saw to it that the transaction ran smoothly, had my best interest first and foremost, and was truly sensitive to my property needs. He was never anything less than a consummate professional. I would recommend him to anyone, and I have. Recently, Anthony, has helped my parents and my sister both to successfully find properties that suit their needs. In short, I cannot say enough about this man of great character. I guess we will just have to consider him family." - Yvette D.

"I would recommend Anthony Rael to everyone because he is a "no pressure" realtor who is sincere in his approach and extremely patient. He is genuinely concerned about his clients' preferences and takes that into account when screening through properties. I appreciate his patience, kindness, and professional demeanor." - Nikki

--------------------------------

"Anthony's service was exceptional and the entire process of selling our home was seamless. He was so aggressive with marketing our home online and through open houses that we had it under contract in only 8 days! We would definitely recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a responsive and knowledgable realtor." - Aaron & Meghan

--------------------------------

"After my mom passed away, I was left with an older 3 story home in Northwest Denver. This was the house that I grew up in. After much deliberation I decided to sell my home and buy a new house in the suburbs. This was a very emotional time for me and my family. I was so thankful that I selected Anthony Rael from Metro Brokers as my Real Estate agent. Anthony was kind, thoughtful and spent numerous hours helping me view homes. Anthony made things fun and simple at the same time. We looked at close to 70 different houses (which may be a record). I would recommend Anthony to anyone that is selling there home or buying a new house. He truly took time and showed compassion for my situation." - Martina T.

--------------------------------

"Throughout my experience working with Anthony Rael of Metro Brokers, Bauer and Associates I have found him to be not only courteous and professional, but also extremely knowledgeable about the Real Estate Market and the Denver Metro area in general. He represents his clients with the utmost customer service and through his actions creates "Raving Fans" out of them!" - Ashley, Crestline Mortgage

---------------------------------------------

"My wife and I made the decision to sell our condo this past summer, July 06. After several interviews with different real estate agents, we selected Anthony Rael with Bauer & Associates. Anthony had his job cut out for him because the market was very soft and there were several other units for sale in the same complex. Of course we wanted the best possible price we could get. Anthony did all the marketing, the listing , had several open houses, several showings of the property and found us a fair and solid offer that we accepted. All this happened before any of the other properties sold. If we have the need to sell or purchase other real estate, I would use Anthony Rael and his team again." - Craig & Patty H.

---------------------------------------------

"Anthony really took the time to get to know me before we even discussed homes. I think that really helped him to see my point of view during the process of looking for homes. Some realtors say they are interested in their clients, but don't show it -- Anthony really is interested in helping the person, not just doing the deal." - Jon C.

--------------------------------

--------------------------------

"Thank you so much for all your help & expertise. We are very happy in our new house and couldn't have found it without you. You made us feel comfortable amidst the home buying confusion and we know that you had our best interest in mind at all times - thanks! - Nick & Chrissy

--------------------------------

"Recently, we had the opportunity to work with Anthony Rael in a purchase of a loft in Denver. This purchase was a quick sale so time was of the essence. Anthony guided us through the entire process without any problems. He was available 24/7 for any question or problem. Anthony was always prepared and was quick to remind us of key dates before they approached. His knowledge of the business and the market belied his years in real estate. He was always available to answer or find out the answer for all of our numerous queries. It was a pleasure working with Anthony on this transaction and I would heartily recommend Anthony for anyone buying or selling a property today. - Robert & Mary
