Mr. Graham did a fantastic job getting our house sold without compromising the value of it. We had heard of other Realtors selling houses in record amounts of time, but often the asking price did not accurately reflect the value of the house. When we sat down with Joe, he shared with us research he had done on comparable houses in the area, and helped us to develop a solid asking price. He took into consideration the fact that we needed to sell quickly, as we were relocating, but wasn't in the business to merely advertise he could sell quickly, but more so that he was in the business to help us out, and to honor our wishes.

Joe walked through our home and offered suggestions based on his experience to make our house as appealing as possible. Some interior work was noted, such as painting, and he was quick to recommend us to the Coldwell Banker Primus Realty Concierge service. The next day we were put in touch with 3 different painters who were all highly reputable, and we were able to get estimates in order to complete the work as soon as possible. We were very impressed with the professionalism the concierge service had to offer, and we were so glad that we were not left having to flip through the phone book, and hope we were getting someone who would do a good job for a fair price.

Once our house was listed, Joe was prepared with a plan to have our house marketed to as many potential buyers as possible. Not once were we left wondering if he was doing his job. He held various open houses and realtor tours to gain maximum exposure, and he provided copies of the papers where our property was listed.

Joe was also great at communicating activity on our house to us, and following up with other realtors who had shown the house so that we could know whether or not there was anything we needed to do with regards to feedback. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the sale of our home by Joe Graham, and would recommend him to others.

Dear Joe,

I want to thank you for the outstanding job you did in assisting us with our recent home purchase. We have certainly found the home of our dreams, and this certainly would not have been possible without your hard work and attention to detail.

I am still amazed at how smoothly the process went. From your initial interview of our housing wants and desires to the final closing, you patiently and thoroughly guided us through the process. Your level of commitment to the process is unsurpassed; I know of no other agent that would have gone to the lengths you did. We were particularly impressed with your ability to assist us in the negotiation process. Because of your efforts and guidance, I am firmly convinced that we ended the process with the most home for the best price.

Furthermore, the contractors you recommended to us were invaluable assets. Because of your recommendations, we were able to quickly and cost-effectively get the finishing touches on our new home completed in plenty of time for move in.

Going forward, please feel free to use Christine and I as a reference for potential clients. I can assure you that we will always look to you for our home buying and selling needs. Thanks again for a job well done.

Mary and I want to thank you for everything you did to help us. Your advice and professionalism from the moment of our first meeting was unparalleled. I don't believe we would have sold our home as quickly as we did without the checklist of items to address throughout the house that you developed for us. We never felt that we were ever left alone in the process. You truly were an active partner throughout the process....particularly when we had to be out of town because of our family crisis.

More than anything else, we know we have developed a friendship that we will cherish even though we will be separated by several miles and time zones.

"My wife and I could not have been happier with the service that Joe provided us. As first time home buyers, we may have required a bit more of his time than other buyers. Joe gave us mountains of information and provided unbiased opinions throughout our home search which led us to a home that matched our needs. When it came down to closing, he helped organize all the meetings and paperwork. If something was not being done, he took matters into his hands and produced results. In the end, we could not have found a better fit for our first home. I recommend his services to everyone I know."

Joe Graham did an outstanding job in every aspect regarding the sale of our home. We were in the process of relocating out of state and Joe took care of anything and everything that came up. At the same time, he stayed in constant communication so that we were aware of what was transpiring every step of the way.

It is apparent that Joe is a consummate professional who takes a great deal of pride in his work. He provided superior service and the results were evident during the entire process.

He seems well connected in the area and has close and continuing relationships with several contractors and service providers which proved invaluable in getting our home ready for sale at the most optimal price possible.

I would recommend Joe without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Joe,

Thank you again for your services in selling my home. You made everything so easy for me. I really like the services you provided in getting my home ready to put on the market. The concierge service was very good and responsive in giving me the contacts I needed to do the repairs/work I needed around the house. Your advice regarding showing my home truly helped. It’s obvious since my home sold in just 12 days in this difficult market. I appreciate your diligence in providing information to potential buyers; I also appreciate you being available to me whenever I called. You made one of the most stressful times in ones life much less stressful. I will definitely recommend you to all my friends and family.

I wish you much continued success.

Thank you.

"Joe Graham is by far the most knowlegable and involved realtor we have ever had the pleasure of working with. He was easily accessible and always ready to answer any questions we had. Joe helped us prepare our home in order to make it stand out against the competition and it worked - our home sold quickly and at an excellent price."

“Joe,

Wanted to pass along an overdue note to let you know we really appreciated the excellent job you did marketing and ultimately selling our home. 2007 will be remembered for the large inventory of properties in the real estate industry. Joe, you were able to price our home competitively and use effective marketing tools to ensure maximum exposure of our property. We really appreciated you being so available anytime everyday to answer our questions and give us direction with selling our first home. Your professional, hard- working attitude is an asset and will help your future clients be successful in selling their homes just like you did for Laura and I.

We will recommend you to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

Sincerely,

Dennis and Laura Gilbertson”

Joseph Graham was the realtor in charge of selling our home in Aurora, IL. We are writing this letter to give testimony to the excellent job he did in preparing, marketing, and getting our house sold.

We began the process of selling our home in August of 2006. We signed with a realtor at another company. After a lack of communication from that realtor, little action on their part, and a slow market, our house expired from its contract in January of 2007. This caused us some distress because we had a contract on another house out of state, and we needed to move.

The week that our house expired, Joe called us on the phone and informed us that he was interested in our business. We shared the concerns we had with our previous experience, and he was able to answer all of them. We were very pleased with the package that he presented us. The planning, marketing, and communication were all in place. He gave us excellent recommendations as to what we could do to the house physically to help it sell, as well as a pricing strategy. He communicated with us regularly, setting up email notifications of any activity, providing us with reports, and making phone calls.

After a great deal of work on our part to implement the changes that he had recommended, which were well worth it, our house went back on the market near the end of January 2007. Within the first week we were getting regular requests for showings, and the feedback was positive. Less than ten days after going back on the market we had an offer. Joe negotiated well on our behalf, and we were able to lock into a contract that we were happy with.

It is now March of 2007 and we are getting ready to relocate like we had hoped. Thank you Joe for all the work you did to help us. It is very truly appreciated. I can highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell a home. He does a fantastic job!

Sincerely,

Darren and April Finnegan
