Dear Gordon:
Hope and I wish to thank you again for the excellent service you provided regarding the sale of our condo at4428 Del Valle ParkwayinPleasanton.
In this difficult market, you demonstrated the knowledge, skill, tenacity and professionalism that is critical in these complex and challenging times.
As you know, we placed the property on the market in June 2010, listing it with another realtor. We expended a great deal of money to upgrade the home, hoping to ensure a quick sale. Alas, a poor assessment of the market value of the condo, outdated marketing tactics, and poor knowledge of the realities of a market then in free-fall, led us to the unfortunate experience of having to “chase the market”, constantly reducing the asking price and watching as the property sat and sat on the market. Totally discouraged, we took the property off the market in November of 2010
In January 2011, Hope and I regrouped and contacted you to try again. What a breath of fresh air. You did an initial assessment of our property, made a thorough analysis of existing market conditions and presented us with a series of recommendations and services:
Accurate Pricing Analysis: You made an extensive analysis of a market then in considerable flux and recommended a price that was conservative but flexible. You also told it to us straight and pointed out that given our particular situation we might need to consider a short sale in the future.
Active Marketing Strategies: You held one open house and one realtors’ tour and immediately contacted each and every visitor, potential client, and professional realtor alike to get immediate feedback and reaction to the property’s positive attributes and also its negative aspects from every single visitor to the property. You continued this practice tenaciously during the subsequent time that the condo was on the market. You developed attractive printed materials highlighting the property’s attributes and targeted them to the most likely types of buyers. You also created and maintained a very sophisticated website, and social media campaign, reflecting the most up-to-date real estate sales techniques. We truly felt that we now had a realtor who was on top of everything.
Sale Negotiation and Services: We were delighted when you produced a buyer whose profile matched the type of person we had anticipated. This all happened while we were traveling inNew Mexico and we so appreciated your constant attention to detail as we faxed and emailed offers and counter-offers. That the offer was a total cash offer made things even better.
Follow Up and Short Sale Skills and Services: As you know the sales price was less than what I owed on the property and while the shortfall was relatively small, we needed to work with our lender to accomplish a short sale of the property. You handled this aspect of the sale masterfully, even providing the lender’s representative with a dossier of photographs, and equivalent sales data in the Plaza del Valle complex. We feel that if it had not been for you and your expertise in this complex area of real estate sales, your attention to detail, follow up, and negotiating skill, the transaction would not have been completed. It is telling that the buyer’s realtor repeatedly complimented you on your skill and expertise in this area and admitted that she totally relied on you to make this sale happen. We also appreciated your understanding and empathy for us as we went through this process and it was extremely valuable to us that you insisted that we consult with an attorney who reviewed our situation and outlined our rights and recommended actions. It eased our minds tremendously and provided very valuable information.
We understand that you have some prospective clients who wish to sell their property in the Plaza del Valle complex. We highly recommend that they engage you to represent them. I would be happy to personally talk personally with them if they so desire. I can best be reached by phone at 925-200-3912.
Sincerely,
Andy Jorgensen
