CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Dear James,

Thank you for being such a fabulous real estate agent. I simply could not have accomplished our goals without you. I am so glad you were at that open house when our friends visiting Tucson became acquainted with you. They were doing a "pre look" for us, and were very impressed with you. Now, John and Eva have been in the building and development business their entire lives, and have worked with hundreds of realtors over the years, so I was impressed with the way they praised and recommended you. Before I even arrived in Tucson, you were at work for me, gathering info from both ends. When my daughter and I arrived you totally worked into our schedule, and were tireless at showing us new listings that my husband was constantly sending on to us, and updating your fabulous booklets that helped incredibly with remembering, and narrowing down. Being "strangers" you were so accommodating about driving us everywhere and giving us invaluable advice, hints, and directions. Knowing that my daughter knew nobody in the area, you so kindly invited us out to meet your wife and sister so she wouldn't be a complete stranger. We were so grateful! Then, since we couldn't make it back for the closing, you literally handled everything for us, other than sending the money. When the bank was late, you kept your cool and handled it again. Your negotiations with the other parties have totally benefited us in every way. You have helped me set up all my services, and have taken charge of hiring outside people in our absence. I feel that our real estate buying experience, because of you has been better than my family and I ever expected. I will recommend you, with the highest of praise, to anyone we know who would be in need of an agent, and, hopefully, we will be able to upgrade down the road and sign on with you again.

With heartfelt thanks,

Doug, Karen and Liz E.

James Servoss was diligent in scheduling open house events and professionaly marketed my home to qualified buyers. He used comprehensive real estate market information to get my home sold fast and for the highest price. James far exceed my expectations and easily outperformed my past realtors.

Thank you James for your well planned super realtor service, which sold my home.

Dear James:

Thank you again for all of your hard work in getting two of our properties in the Tucson area sold. In this trying real estate market, we fully believe that just 'any' Realtor would not have gotten our properties closed and that it took you, as a truly exceptional and knowledgeable Realtor, to understand the market and to be able to implement a solid marketing plan.

The communication and follow-through that you provided was extremely important to us, as out-of-state owners, and at no time during the transaction did we have any concerns in placing our listings in your capable hands. We appreciate all of the 'extra' things that you did such as meeting home inspectors, getting roofing quotes, obtaining a painter for touch-ups, etc., etc., etc. These are things that we would not have been able to do while out of state and we were impressed at how efficiently you expedited everything for us.

Both Sandy and I wish you continued success and again, thank you for everything!

Dear James:

We are writing to let you know what a pleasure it was working with you during our recent home purchase in Tucson. You exceeded our expectations in every way during the search for our property and also after closing. As out-of-state purchasers, it was essential for us to find an agent whom we could trust to operate on our behalf when we were out of town. Your professional integrity and deep knowledge of the real estate market was second-to-none. Even after closing, your continued help in recommending high quality contractors to carry out renovations to the property was of tremendous value and your dedication to personally overseeing the work was more than we could have possibly expected. We strongly recommend you to any prospective clients and we look forward to working with you again for our future purchases in Tucson.

Dear James,

Now that it's all done, Barb and I wanted to thank you once again for all that you did for us during, and after, our recent purchase of a home in Tucson. As you know, we are from the East coast, and knew very little about Tucson, other than we had visited several times, and knew we wanted to sooner or later buy a place out there to use as a second home and/or investment property.

We had, on past visits, spoken and communicated with several realtors in Tucson, but none of them seemed to have their fingers on our pulse, so we planned to eventually spend several months renting a place out there, and take our time finding the right place to buy.

However, from the time we first met you, when we spontaneously stopped at an "open house," even when we were "just looking," and not planning to buy, you served as a tireless source of information and guidance, with an incredible breadth of knowledge. You really know the Tucson area, and offered immensely helpful advice and assistance with a wide range ot topics from the best places to eat, to where to buy furniture, to who can we use as property managers, and beyond. You were always available, both by phone and email. You quickly responded to our needs and requests without being intrusive or having to be asked. You listened closely, and were always honest and straightforward in answering our questions, without equivocating or trying to give us answers you thought we were looking for. Since we did this from 3000 miles away, you even acted as our surrogate homeowner, and were there to receive deliveries of home furnishings necessary to set up home. Your broad knowledge of real estate and real estate transactions was helpful in facilitating a 1031 like-kind exchange, and you prepared everything for our purchase without us having to travel to Tucson for closing. Most importantly, we never felt you had any agenda other than to be of the utmost help, regardless of our agenda. Plus, after the sale, you have continued to help us innumerable ways that make preparing our new place possible. I could go on and on, but just wanted to list some of your qualities for which we were appreciative.

Simply put, James if it were not for you, we would not now have a place in Tucson, and would have likely waited for some time in the future to acquire such a property. In addition, as you know, since this particular purchase was a like-kind exchange, such a postponement could have cost us tens of thousands of dollars in lost tax consequences. Due largely to your diligence, tenacity, knowledge, understanding, and guidance we found and closed on a place that was the perfect match for our needs and desires. We are thrilled with our new home, look forward to spending more and more time in Tucson, and plan to count on your expertise in the future, as we hope to add more properties to our portfolio. Please feel free to supply our contact information to any prospective client, as we would gladly provide the strongest of recommendations to anyone seeking your services in finding the right home or investment property. Thanks again.

Bob and Barb K.
