"My wife, Florence and I wanted to thank you very much for your exceptional work in handling both selling our house in November 2004 and our new house purchase in December 2004

You promised Florence and I a number of things throughout the relatively short process, and you delivered on every one! You promised a strong marketing campaign and you did exactly that. You kept us updated constantly on the process, and helped us get our town house in tip top shape. Despite our small house of just under 1,000 square feet, we had over 75 people in a 2-day open house, received our first offer prior to our open house, and received 7 offers within 4 days of the open house. As you recall, our townhouse in Milpitas sold for well above asking. You also did an exceptional job in working with us to negotiate down the price for the house we really wanted.

Overall, I couldn't have received better service from you, and even your daughter! We clearly made the correct choice in choosing you to be both our selling and our buying Realtor. You truly made us feel as if we were your only clients. You helped us better understand the process and answered our questions, no matter how many we had. If/when we look for another home; we will certainly give you a call.

Thank you again for your hard work. Your many years of experience really paid off for us, both in buying and selling our house. I would absolutely recommend you to anyone who is buying, selling, or both."

“This letter is just to let you know how much we appreciate all of your hard work and advise in selling our condo and buying our new home. We were amazed at your calm, “can do” attitude in the face of a very stressful business deal. Thanks for smoothing out all of the bumps.

We are very grateful that you found a buyer so quickly. We know that it was ethically difficult to represent both the buyer and the seller. But you handled this problem admirably, and we really appreciate the positive impact on the bottom line.

You ability to manage all of the people involved in a real estate deal was a blessing. Neither of us could have handled the termite people, title people, loan people, inspection people, etc. You really stayed on top of all aspects of the deal and insulated us from all of the difficulties. Your suggestions and reminders about our options always made us feel that you truly were looking out for our best interests. You also handled our uncertainties, doubts, and ignorance with tact, understanding, and humor. My favorite example is that map of the school districts. We were so concerned about which district each neighborhood was in, and at our next meeting you had purchased a map for us. It was such a little thing but it was so thoughtful.

It was always a pleasure doing business with you. We would be happy to provide referrals to any interested parties.

Thanks, again, and may you continue your success.”

"Dear Derek-

This note has taken me longer to write than I wanted, but it seems like things are just now starting to settle down with us.

Thank you again for the way you represented us during the sale of our first home. We really appreciate the time you took to educate us on the Real Estate process. We were also impressed with your professional demeanor. It was a pleasure to work with you."
