Dear Gary,

Thank you very much for your outstanding effort on our behalf in the purchase of our exciting new Tualatin home.

Your courtesy, professionalism and determination to find us just the right home made this a positive experience from beginning to end.

You listened carefully to our questions and opinions and provided steady guidance as we searched through a constantly changing market.

Then, when we found what we were looking for, you negotiated strongly on our behalf and brought the entire process to a successful conclusion for both buyer and seller.

Please accept our congratulations on a job well done and gratitude for your support throughout the process.

All the best!

Dear Gary,

I just wanted to thank you and commend you for the successful sale of my mother's home.  You concluded a sale in a far shorter time frame, and at a significantly higher price, than what we felt was achievable.

As a commercial realtor I have high standards, as I go the extra mile for my clients.  You provided that same level of service to my family.  Your follow through was exceptional and you conducted yourself professionally throughout the process.

I would not hesitate to recommend you to friends or associates in need of a residential realtor.

Thank you again for your diligence.

Sincerely,

Tony

Dear Gary,

We thank you for your exceptional effort in the sale of our house.  In this difficult housing market, the higher price range of our house made it even more challenging.  You applied the maximum effort in open houses, broker tours, even obtaining a featured house segment in the Sunday Oregonian newspaper.  You continually kept us abreast of current market conditions.  You recommended pricing adjustments geared toward the keeping us within comparable housing sales in the local market.

One exceptional event came after we made the hard decision to remove the house from the market and prepare to wait out the economic downturn.  A month after the delisting, you were contacted by an agent who wanted to view our house.  You passed this request along to us with the opinion that this was a serious buyer.  From that point to closing, you worked hard and quickly to resolve any issues that would prevent the escrow from closing.  Without your close watchful eye and attentiveness during escrow, we do not believe it would have been possible to close on such a short schedule.

You offered sound advice in preparation for our house sale, from adding kitchen granite countertops to the decision to upgrade the hard stucco exterior to the latest building codes.  All of this, in the end, made the ultimate sale and close of escrow move quickly and smoothly.

Again we offer our thanks to you.  We highly recommend you to anyone considering placing their house on the market.

Dear Gary,

We were very fortunate to have had you as a realtor.  We are impressed with your integrity, enthusiasm, energy and willingness to help us do what was needed to sell the house.  Thank you for your helping us in every area regardless what the issue was.  Your positive attitude was an encouragement to us.  You said you would sell the house, you did! And in only 3 weeks, amazing!!!

We are referring you to our friends and relatives and to anyone that we hear saying, "we are trying to sell our house".  Again; thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Marv & Darlene


Dear Gary,

I wanted to thank you again for the extraordinary job you did in the sale and purchase of our homes.  Everyone's hope in a sell and purchase situation is to have both happen on the same day.  You helped us meet that goal.

Our old home sold within a very short time frame.  You developed and implemented a sound professional marketing plan that resulted in a prompt sale at the top of the market price.  Your assistance in negotiating follow up inspection items was invaluable.  It saved us both time and money.

Your service in finding our new home was even more impressive.  You diligently tracked the market for homes meeting our specifications and once we found a home you had the insight to research the homes listing history and we made an offer based upon your information which saved us thousands of dollars.  Once again, your expert negotiating skills through the inspection process resulted in the seller caving on nearly all issues related to the new property.  Again, we saved thousands of dollars.

The home warranty you provided has resulted in a new dishwasher for the property as well as significant servicing on our air conditioning service at minimal cost.  Once again your successful real estate formula proved very vaulable for us.

Thank you Gary and feel free to use us as references in the future.  We wish you every success.

Warmest Regards,

Bruce & Cathy


Dear Gary,

We would like to thank you for your help with the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home.  Thank you for making these two transactions happen especially when it appeared they would not.

We really appreciate your helping us to understand the entire home buying and selling process as we followed you through it.  Your advice was invaluable each step of the way.  Thank you for keeping us focused and positive during the sensitive situations that arose during the process.

We have met many Realtors throughout the process of looking for a new home and you stand out in our minds as the most professional and competent by far.  It was very refreshing when you followed through with everything you said you would, never missing a single detail.

We look forward to working with you again.

Thank you,

Rod & Lisa


Dear Gary,

Kelly and I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your hard work and attention to detail during the sale of our home.  Your experience and knowledge was paramount in successfully selling our home for more than our asking price so quickly.  This was a challenge given the size and age of our home, but thanks to your strategic marketing and planning, you got the job done.

In addition, you went above and beyond by continuing to communicate with us after the sale had closed to ensure that we were well represented during the purchase of our new home.  This included personal communication with our lender and realtor hundreds of miles away.  Your assistance helped save us a substantial amound of money on the purchase of our new home.  You were sensitive and attentive to our needs, making us feel at ease during the whole process.  This kind of care is indicative of someone who truly cares about his clients and takes pride in what he does.

Kelly and I will gladly refer our friends and family to you because we are confident that you can and will meet their real estate needs. In the future, you can feel free to use us as a reference, as we will surely recommend your service.

Thank you again,

Mark & Kelly

 
Dear Gary,

Thank you for being the guiding force in putting together the rather confusing and complicated sale of my home.

There were many subtle, yet very real emotions, irritations and frustrations that came into play and you were sensitive in dealing with all of them.

I feel you were creative and resourceful as you worked to resolve each new problem as it developed.

I'm grateful too, that whenever the situation took a dismal turn your tenacity and positive attitude kept me focused and on track.

I deeply appreciate your professionalism and commitment in working all things through so I could have a happy and successful sale of my home.

Sincere thanks,

Geraldine


Dear Gary,

Thank you for your advice and tenacity over the last year and a half. We began looking for a home in June or July of 2002. You showed us homes from Yamhill to Columbia County. During the home search you were always knowledgeable and professional in assessing pros and cons. Julia and I never felt pressured and you were always available to field questions and drive us to a new location.

Julia and I finally found the perfect spot, a plot of land and a home plan we both loved. The process of buying a home not yet built was difficult. Without your constant phone calls we would have been at the mercy of our homebuilder. Our homebuilder was consistently missing deadlines and attempted to keep us in the fog. You were a thorn in their side calling them several times a week and always keeping us updated.

After our home was completed and we were able to finalize the sale you stayed active in our affairs. The development's owners attempted to back out of purchasing a homeowner's warranty as agreed in our contract offering us half the warranties cash value. Julia and I began to worry about our options. You hounded the development owner and pushed them into compensating us with the full cash value of the warranty.

We have lived in our new home for one year now and are very happy. The home is beautiful. Thank you again for all the guidance and hard work.

Sincerely,

John &  Julia


Dear Gary,

I am glad that my wife remembered you and we had you and your company to help us sell our home in Aloha. I was very impressed from the first day we met how you explained to us in every detail the process of selling a house and your responsibility to us to make it work.

You were very professional and kept your promises and commitment you made to us throughout the selling and closing process. It was a pleasant experience to sell the house and you did an excellent job in negotiating the selling price knowing our financial needs. Also, helping us going through the inspection process by calling in a certified electrician to review issues in the electrical system that would have otherwise cost us a lot of money.

We are going to recommend you to all of our friends and people searching for a reliable hard working agent, an agent that works for and with the client to make the most profitable sale and the smoothest transaction possible.

Thank you very much,

Bernd & Josefine


Dear Gary,

Nancy and I want to thank you for all your help and guidance in the selling of our home.

Your professional attitude and positive approach helped us to make the right decisions about pricing and preparation for our house for sale.

We were always able to reach you when we had questions and you always responded promptly to our calls.

You guided us professionally through the negotiation process and when problems arose you made them go away.

Your professional attitude even continued after the sale when we needed to stay in our home till our new home was finished.

We appreciate all your fine work and would recommend you to anyone that needs to sell or buy a home.

Thank you again for all of your help and our best wishes for your continued success.

Hello Gary,

Alas, the red paisley wallpaper is gone and the orange and blue shag rugs are a thing of the past, so now we can catch our breath.

We wanted to thank you so much for your help in purchasing our larger townhouse at Millridge. As a representative to both the buyer and the seller, we were impressed with your professionalism and the conscientious manner you used in negotiations. After some really poor service in our previous home purchase, we had just about given up on realtors; thanks for going the extra mile and making this transaction work so well.

We will be happy to refer you to anyone we come across that needs the services of a great realtor.

Thanks again...we sincerely appreciated all of your efforts!

Dear Gary,

Greg and I want to thank you for selling our house for us. You came through with every promise and your professionalism and honesty was very much appreciated. If we ever have real estate needs again we will look you up and we will also refer you to anybody we know.

Thanks again for helping us make our dreams come true.

Greg & Jen
 

Dear Gary,

We wanted to thank you again for the great job you did in the sale and purchase of our homes.

Our former home sold within a very short timeframe, one that exceeded our hopes and expectations. You developed a solid marketing plan and were proactive in suggesting improvements that would enhance the value of that home.

We were also pleased in your assistance in finding a larger home for my family, including our 3 girls. You found a home that fit our requirements and specifications and truly helped us purchase a home that will have an enhanced resale value long into the future. Needless to say, you saved us thousands of dollars in this transaction.

To summarize, we appreciate the qualities you bring to your clients as an expert in your field, particularly in the Beaverton Area, the no-nonsense approach you have to your business and the confidence we feel as clients in working with you; we feel you are truly working in our best interest.

We wish you continued success.

Best Regards

Andrew & Sonia
 

Dear Gary,

Thank you for the excellent job you did in selling Sandra's house.  From the explanation of the sale process, the discussion of issues to be considered, the setting of the sales price, the marketing materials you had prepared, the open house you conducted, the offer and counter-offer process and the closing process were all timely and professionally conducted.  You did a professional job!

But more than all of that -- you went out of the way to make sure the major repairs we needed - roof, siding, and paint were done by responsible people who knew their job and did them well.  As owners you made the job easy for us.  From start to finish it was a fantastic and enjoyable experience to work with you.  It was hard to believe that we had the buying offer within a week of listing and closed in a month - this is supposed to be the "slow" season for house selling.

Gary, you can use us for a recommendation anytime.

With Appreciation for the excellent work,

Art & Sandy

 

Dear Gary,

I wanted to let you know what a fantastic Real Estate Agent Michelle and I think you are.  We gave you an extremely short deadline to sell our house and you performed.  In addition, the extra work you did making sure that the closings of both homes went smoothly was exceptional.  It was a wonderful experience due to your tenacity and diligence.  We always felt we could rely upon you during the whole process.

Without hesitation we will recommend you to all of our friends, family and clients.

Sincerely,

Matthew
