When John and Alan had a casual conversation about where we might start looking for a larger home back in March, we had no idea of the real estate roller coaster upon which we were about to embark. Although we assured Alan we were just toying with the idea, he listened attentively to our needs and immediately got to work on our behalf. His knowledge of the various neighborhoods and houses available at the time were extremely helpful and we were certain that he would be a great realtor when we become serious about the prospect of moving.
Alan was certainly surprised when just a few days later he got a frantic call from us that we had happened upon an Open House, fell in love with said house and wanted him to represent us in submitting an immediate offer. Alan never questioned our apparent change of heart; rather he was at our house a couple hours later to prepare the offer. He made arrangements for us to see the house again the very next day. The seller’s realtor was ecstatic to learn that Alan, whom she had known for many years, would be representing us. Alan was professional, attentive and tenacious throughout the negotiation process. We are certain that if we had not had him representing us, we would not have been able to close the deal on our new home.
With a 30 day escrow looming, Alan got right to work developing a marketing plan to sell our previous home. Within a few days, a professional photographer had taken stunning pictures of our home and Alan set up a personalized website for our house. We were thrilled when we got an offer for asking price ‘the day before’ the house was set to hit the market! Alan made the difficult tasks of simultaneously selling our old home and purchasing our new home seem like a piece of cake at a time when everyone said the market was cooling off.
We also want to extend our sincere thanks for they very generous gift certificate for the BBQ. You truly went above and beyond with your thoughtful gift.
Thank you so much for a job well done.
Sincerely,
Tara and John Jones”
