Testimonials

Daniel "Dan" Newbill, III is our realtor. He is also our friend. He helped us navigate the tricky waters of buying our first home. We appreciated Dan's many talents, as we faced issues we had never dealt with.


What we appreciated most are the following:



· His willingness to help us, even when looking at properties that he would receive no commission from the sale.



· His due diligence, which saved us from purchasing a house with many structural and legal problems.



· His tenacity in getting to the bottom of the issue, when we asked a question. He would always look up the answer or ask an expert in the field (contractor, electrician, plumber, etc.), if he didn't know the answer.



· His flexibility, he would come to our house at any hour we needed him, in order for us to sign the required documents. This helped us a lot with caring for our 1-year-old son.

· His drive, he would set up appointments for us as soon as we told him we were interested in seeing a property.



· His availability, he would always answer his phone, or return our messages quickly.



· His patience, as we discovered our likes and dislikes, and changed our search parameters yet one more time.



In the end, after much searching, he helped us find our house, and that fact is testimony enough. We like Dan.

Dan,

Thanks for the great work you did in helping me sell my house and buy a new
one in a 1031 exchange. I'm very pleased with the results. I appreciated
the hard work you put into marketing my house in Kailua, coordinating the
repairs and scheduling showings with my tenants. I was pleasantly
surprised with the price I got for the house, which was substantially more
than I had anticipated. I believe that your sense of the market and
appreciation for the unique nature of the property contributed greatly to
the good price I got.

I was equally pleased with my replacement property. You had a very good
sense for the type of place I wanted, in addition to some very specific
criteria that needed to be met for the 1031 exchange. Because of this, I
was able to move quickly when the ideal replacement property came on the
market.

Thanks again, and I look forward to working with you again in a few months
when I plan on selling my condominium.

Aloha,

Erik
