TESTIMONIALS

Words cannot express our appreciation! You've helped us find a wonderful home. You drove us all around town; you've stood by us, advocated for us, and went above and beyond your duty. We could not have gotten through the process without your constant help, support, and encouragement. You are truly our friends. We met by pure chance and we believe it was meant to be. We want to keep you in our lives.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Love, John and Polina

I'd like to thank both of you for the honest straight forward work you both did in selling my mom's home. You made the ordeal so much easier for me to get through!

I know you ran into some snags along the way, but you both took care of everything right away. You were both truly a pleasure to be around, and your down to earth personal approach was refreshing in this day and age.

You treated us like we were selling a mansion!!!

Bless you both!

Bert

Wishing you the best of luck.

Recently my wife and I utilized your company to purchase our first home. After dealing with numerous Brokers, Bankers, and Realtors, all of which I might add were extremely unhelpful and had no initiative, I ran across Mr. Tony Flores and Ms.Connie Umbarger from Prudential. It was very frustrating for all of us involved but I was amazed by how Mr. Flores and Ms.Umbarger kept their composure and strived to make myself and my wife happy. A brief story of what took place. We were looking for a place closer to my work. I was living in Oceanside and working down in Coronado. We looked and looked all over but could not find the right place. Finally Tony and Connie introduced us to Ranchwood Condo's in Spring Valley. My income limited me to a certain amount so we could not get that 'dream house', instead we found our 'dream condo'. To make a long story short we settled on the place a d got a really great deal on the home, we actually came out with $6000 worth of equity on the place! Our first home turned out to be a true blessing. Tony and Connie could have very easily pushed us to the side for a bigger sale but they stuck it out to the end and took their job personally and professional. Tony and Connie even met the carpet cleaner on a Friday afternoon for me because I couldn't get there in time from work. Words can not express the gratitude that was shown to both of us. I felt it was imperative to write this letter, Many times people complain about others, the good deeds seem to always be pushed to the sidelines. As a former Marine, and disabled Veteran, I truly appreciate your company's professionalism and I will be utilizing your services again when it comes time to sell. Your company has shown me more respect and kindness than a person could ask for. I ask that you recognize these two individuals because they are an example of a truly professionally run business where the customer is first.

I had a property with many issues and a county citation. Connie and Tony were diligent in their efforts and went over and above what was expected to get my property closed.

Many Thanks,

We were interested in selling our home and asked Connie and Tony to come to our home and talk with us about selling. They actually asked if we could rent it out instead of selling in this market and buy now because prices are so low. We appreciated their honesty and did buy a home at a great price and will definitely call them when we are ready to list.

Thanks a million,

Bill and Sheila

Connie: Congratulations on the Short Sale Close!!!!

You are truly one of the hardest working and compassionate real estate professionals I have ever met. I knew that Michelle would be in great hands when she listed with you.

Your dedication to getting her property sold allowed her to close a chapter in her life and move on to better times. I am sure that she is very happy that the sale is about to close.

Thank You Again - I truly appreciate everything that you have accomplished in this transaction.

Sincerely,

Elaine

I was referred to Connie and Tony by one of my girlfriends who bought a house from them. She told me they were wonderful and integral in her purchasing her home and they weren't even her agents. My husband and I met with Connie not knowing what to expect and on our first trip out found the house of our dreams. It was a short sale but the house was perfect and in a great neighborhood. Connie got our offer accepted and the price reduced. Unfortunately it was too good to be true. The home had major foundation issues so we had to keep looking.

Surprisingly it was a very difficult market to buy a home in. We ended up looking for about 5 or 6 months before we found the home we ended up purchasing. During this time Connie was available to us 24/7, literally! I couldn't believe it when I found out she was working with several other clients because she devoted so much time and energy on us. We looked at houses several times a week, wrote tens of offers, waited on several short sales and foreclosures and when we wanted to give up she was always there assuring us she would find us a home where we would be happy.

Connie and Tony are a great team. They maintain wonderful working relationships in their field, which allows them to really do great work for their clients. Working with Connie and Tony has been a wonderful experience. They are kind, generous, well-intentioned people. Put your trust in them and they will not lead you wrong. We are very happy in our new home and are extremely grateful. Connie and Tony have lifetime clients in us and we already refer all of our friends and family. Thank you Connie and Tony! We really do love you guys.

Dear Potential Client:

I had the sincere pleasure of working with Connie Umbarger this year while selling my townhome in San Diego, Ca. The sale of my townhome was a huge under-taking given the current economy, real estate market, and my personal situation. When I met Connie I was in the midst of a divorce and could no longer afford my home. I had no idea what my options were regarding the condo or where to start! It seemed a foreclosure may be my only option. In addition to the personal struggles I was working 50-60 hours a week and had no time to properly research selling a home. A family friend gave me Connie's information and it was one of the best phone calls I have ever made.

Connie met with me immediately at my home and explained my options. Luckily Connie is a short sale expert and explained to me the differences between a short sale and a foreclosure. What's more, it seemed I qualified for a short sale and could avoid foreclosure! Connie spent seven months working extremely hard with my lenders and buyers to ensure the short sale process was a success. Finding buyers was not an issue but the lenders threw out several obstacles throughout the process and Connie tirelessly fought for me and protected me during the sale. Connie constantly kept me in the loop so I never had to worry or wonder what would happen next. She always made me feel like I was her only client. Connie's follow through was impeccable. I am happy to say that we successfully closed escrow in November 2009!

I would recommend Connie to anyone looking to buy or sell their home; whether it is a short sale or regular real estate transaction. She has the expertise to handle even the most complex real estate transactions and her dedication to her clients is truly outstanding. When it's time for me to buy again, Connie will be the first person I call.

Sincerely,

Michelle

To Whom It May Concern:

First off, let us apologize for the long overdue letter of recommendation.

It is with great pleasure that we write to recommend the services of Connie Umbarger and Tony Flores! Although we were initially in contact with Connie, it was such an added surprise and blessing to have Tony as part of the team. After our dealings with previous realtors, Connie and Tony really made the entire process smooth and painless. They were excellent listeners, who worked within our set parameters and helped us without any pressure to speed up our search or settle for something that wasn't right for us. They took us out for a quick exploration of our likes and dislikes, and within days had a comprehensive list of possible properties that had everything we hoped for. The relationship felt less like a business partnership, and more like a mentorship, with two confident, experienced people helping out the "newbies", as we were first-time buyers. Even when things with the lender hit an unforeseen speed bump, they were quick to get in contact with the mortgage company on our behalf, and had backup plans ready before we knew it.

Connie and Tony were approachable, attentive, and patient, and weren't over-burdened with more clients than they could reasonably handle, so we never felt like we were waiting in line for assistance. We were comfortable with their knowledge and experience, and their low-key approach. Add all these wonderful attributes with their easy-to-talk-to personalities and great senses of humor, and we found the process to be completely opposite from all the "horror stories" you so often hear of. It was an effective partnership, and it took us less than four weeks to find our dream home. We happily recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We can honestly say that we cannot imagine going through this process with anyone else, and only wish we would have started working with them much sooner. Anyone on the market for a new home who doesn't use Tony and Connie are truly missing out on two real pros. Connie and Tony are nothing short of ‘the best'!

Sincerely,

Joseph and Meghann Kemery
