Dear Rich and Jan,

 

     I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the services you provided me with the recent sale of my Wildwood area home. I believe you went far beyond any reasonable expectations that I would have of an ordinary broker.  You proved to me that I made the right decision when I chose you to assist me selling my home.

 

     As a real estate broker, I have been involved with many agents in the area.  None have shown the professionalism that you exhibit. This is the second transaction I have been in as a buyer or seller where you were involved. In both transactions, you have been refreshingly straightforward.

 

     From the beginning, you came to our first meeting well prepared, having assembled documents that were eventually required by escrow. I presented my goals to you, and you did not try to change my mind or sell me on anything, but instead immediately set out to figure out how to best achieve my goals. Together, we developed a plan, which we followed with remarkable success.

 

     Your assistance, from the initial consultation, your obtaining quotations for repairs, your work with the vendors for the carpet, paint, repairs, inspectors, dealing with the other agent, etc., were all top-notch. This was by far the best transaction in which I have been involved in for many years.

 

     Now that I have moved out of the Thousand Oaks area, you can be sure that I will refer anybody to you that contacts me for a broker in your area. Additionally, I would be happy to talk with anybody who would like to know more about you.

 

Sincerely,

 

Gregory Hill

Dear Rich and Jan,

     We wanted to thank you very much for helping find the most perfect house for us. We tried other REALTORS, but by the time they took us to look at a property, it was always sold. You, on the other hand, found properties the day they went on the market. You knew just the kind of house and the neighborhood we were looking for & notified us immediately when a house went on the market.

    It took just three houses to find the most perfect home for us.  We also wanted to thank you for making the buying process so simple. You helped us find a great mortgage broker, you helped with the home inspection & you kept us informed every step of the way. You were always available day & night to answer any questions.

We wish you continued success as a REALTOR.

 

Fondly,

 

Bob & Ginny Coburn

Dear Rich and Jan,

 

     It’s been eleven days now that we have moved into our new home in Northern California and it is time to take a break from opening boxes and hanging pictures to write and tell you how much we appreciate all that you have done for us during the stressful time of putting our home in Thousand Oaks on the market and closing escrow in record time we are told!!


     You went beyond the “call of duty” and, showed personal care, concern and friendship to Ralph and me at every step of the process. I do not know how we could have done this without you. You are truly.

precious and we cannot say enough “thank you” to express our gratitude.


     We hope for and wish you the best in your personal life and in your career because if anyone deserves it, you do!

 

     We are looking forward to hearing your good news - always.

 

Gratefully yours,


Ralph and Olga Friesen

Dear Rich and Jan,

 

      Thank you for your professional performance and client-centered handling of the sale of our home on Moondance Street - before, during and after the sale.

 

    The professionally prepared periodic Wildwood Newsletters led us to select you as our agent. We were not disappointed, we were delighted. Your diligence and professionalism impressed us throughout the entire process.

 

       Your advice regarding renovations and improvements to enhance the home's salability compared to those upgrades we had contemplated, saved us thousands of dollars.

 

      Your astute sense of the market value of the property, based on long-term marketing interest in the area, led to a proposed selling price much higher than we had anticipated. My eyes noticeably may have widened at your suggested listing price.

 

     The marketing package you prepared, complete with detailed descriptions and floor plan, illustrated with color photographs, inside and out, was thorough and extremely attractive.

 

       To my recollection (I may be off by a few hours), the house was on the market less than a day. The house sold at the listed price you suggested - several thousand dollars more than we expected.

 

      Months after the sale was successfully completed, I asked you for some information to help prepare our income tax return for the year. Unsurprisingly, you responded promptly with a package of thoroughly documented information. That information led to a reduction in our taxes of several thousand dollars.

 

       Again, thanks for your client-centered approach and professionalism before, during and after the sale.

 

Sincerely,

 

David H. Allen

Dear Rich,

 

     Thank you so much for the fantastic job you did selling our home. We were so pleasantly surprised that you were able to sell our house in just 8 days and at the price we wanted.

 

     Ted and I are incredibly pleased. We will certainly recommend you to anyone.

 

     Wishing you the best.

 

Sincerely,

 

Mary & Ted Lawson

Dear Rich and Jan,

 

     Words cannot express our gratitude for all of your efforts that you extended for the marketing and sale of Mom’s home on Thunderhead Street.  Every task, whether it was taking items to the recycling center, arranging for pest control to remove bees, finding painters and handyman, opening the house for remodelers, helping to stage the house for sale, holding open houses, and finally helping us through the inspection process and paperwork or closing, was handled quickly and flawlessly (even with Jan on jury duty).

 

     For us, dealing with dad’s passing, having Mom in assisted living, and the sale of their home, all from three thousand miles away, was overwhelming. We appreciate your complete support and kindness to listen to all our concerns. We really cannot imagine anything more you could have done.

 

    Mom is so very pleased that the house is sold, and Dad was always impressed with the way you marketed the neighborhood.  We sold for just a little under asking price, which was a miracle in this difficult economic time.  It could not have happened without your considerable efforts.

 

      Please feel free to use this letter at any time to demonstrate how you support your clients.

  

Thank you,

 

Hazel and Douglas Clark

       Best of luck in the future and again, our sincere appreciation.

 

Sincerely,

Hello Rich & Jan,

 

    I feel truly blessed to have had you both represent me in the sale of my condo. You made me feel immediately comfortable and trusting your handling of all the many details involved.

 

     If you ever need a formal letter of recommendation, I can’t imagine you would because your long-standing excellent reputation goes before you, but I’d be happy to write one.

 

      Thank you so much, and I shall never forget you.

 

With much gratitude,

 

Sherrell Bortman

Dear Rich and Jan,

 

     Thank you so much for your hard work with the sale of our Simi Valley house. You are both one of the best realtors we have ever worked with. We know there was a great deal of communication with the close.

 

     When things settle down, we will have you over.  We will be sure to recommend you to our friends and other people we network with.

 

Sincerely,

 

Larry, Gail and Krista Goesch

Rich & Jan McMillen,

 

      Hopefully, your clients know how lucky they are to have picked the two of you to represent them.

 

     I have been in the real estate business for over twenty-five years and I have never known agents that work as hard as you do.  Your clients should know the cost of doing business and compare what you do with the way most agents do for their clients when they take a listing.  You not only go the extra nine yards you go miles above what others claim to do. 

 

     You are the most professional and hard working agents and again I hope your clients take notice of what you do and not take it for granted.  Trust me few do what you two do.

 

Best regards,

 

Doree’ Rotundo
