Because of our disappointing experience with our previous broker we decided to interview three potential brokers to represent us in May 2006. My wife and I immediately agreed that we were most impressed with Alan. I obtained six total references from Alan: three(3) sale clients and three(3) purchase clients. All of them gave very strong recommendations of Alan.
Probably the best way to express our opinion of Alan is that he is the perfect combination of experience and enthusiasm. Always there to help with any questions, concerns and insight.
When we encountered some potential problems with our transactions, Alan was able to keep all parties calm, informed, and kept the process moving without a glitch. Alan put together a very effective electronic search program, emailing us potential new homes on a daily basis. That was one of the biggest failings of our previous broker, leaving my wife to do virtually all the research for our replacement home. We purchased one of the homes found by Alan, and we are delighted; we never thought we could have find so much home for the price!
I am in commercial real estate, and know there are many ways deals can fall apart. Alan stayed on top of details, got things done and kept everyone informed. He was very accessible, by cell phone, email and in person.
In conclusion, we are very pleased with the way Alan handled the sale of our previous home, and the purchase of our replacement. I would not hesitate to use him again, and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great real estate agent.
Alan, you may use this letter of reference in any way you see it fit. Also, please feel free to have any potential clients contact me for a reference. Gary Dent, VP, Chief Appraiser, First Bank of Beverly Hills: [email protected]”
