Testimonial Letters:

"Dear Jim,

I want you to know how grateful I am for all the help you've given me the past three months. Selling a house, even in the best of times, is filled with anxiety. In today's market, it's doubly so.

You were positive and supportive throughout. As a single owner, you steered me through each step with cool professionalism. You kept in constant communication. Most of all, your knowledge of the real-estate world is enormous, and I was the beneficiary of that knowledge.

In particular, your advice in matters of staging and improvements paid off handsomely. Not only did the house sell quickly, but the final sale price was very close to our asking price.

Thank you again. I am sure your future clients will be as equally satisfied as I've been. Good luck.

Sincerely,

Jack F."

"Dear Jim,

This is to tell you that you are our very favorite realtor and that we will always be grateful to you for helping us buy our new home.

While some realtors say they give good service and really work for you, no one could work harder for their clients than you and no one could give better service! When we think that there were 7 other people who wanted our home, and that we were the ones selected even thought we weren't the highest offer, we can hardly believe it. And when we remember that we closed escrow on time, we can only remember all the other times when we didn't. How did you do that?

If anyone asks you whether you're a great realtor to buy or sell their house, tell them to call us. We can tell them about all the other realtors we know and why you're absolutely the best.

Our plan is to stay here forever. But if that plan changes, we look forward to working with you again.

Thank you, thank you,

Leslie and Alex H"

You were such a delight during the process. Ryan and I knew that we could call you, and trust that you would do everything possible to assist us. The buying process was extremely fast and easy, and thank you for your diligence.

I would definitely recommend you to anyone who is seeking assistance during such an important time in their lives! We would love to have you over sometime to see what we have done thus far, so please let us know if you are in the area. We look forward to staying in touch with you down the road and referring any business to you that we encounter. Thanks again for your professionalism and dedication!!

Sincerely,

"Dear Jim,

Thank you so much for the incredible effort you put forth in getting top dollar on the sale of my home in Sunnyvale! After being a rental property for the last 14 years there were a number of things that had to be done to maximize the houses curb appeal and sales price. As an absentee owner it was good to know that you were there to handle all of the inspections and oversee the repairs.

The marketing of the house was terrific! I especially liked how the professional photos and virtual tour turned out. The interest and response was incredible.

The first day we accepted offers we had 14! The house sold "As Is" for more than 10% over list. Who says it is a "Buyer's Market"?

You worked hard on the house and handled all the details. I won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone buying or selling a home."

Thanks Again,

Tom H.
