You did not ask me for this letter, but if there is anyone who deserves a "Bravo" you both certainly do! I have worked with many realtor\'s and escrow companies, while being an appraiser for Cal Fed Bank. I even have very close friends who are realtor\'s. But I can tell you, that if I sell another home, I will call you both!
Thank you, so much and also to the staff of your office. you both stand by your words and that says a lot in this day! I would be happy to talk to anyone about a reference anytime!

It was well worth the 1% to get and receive all of your input and knowledge that is required to sell a home. The fact that we didn\'t have to pay a 6% commission helped us sell our home very quickly, as we didn\'t have to raise the price of the house accordingly to cover this unnecessary cost. Your professionalism in protecting both the seller and buyer was simply outstanding.
You know that Margie wanted to try and sell our home by ourselves and not go through any real estate company. After my first interview with 1% Homeseller, Inc. I was thoroughly convinced that this would be the wrong move. She is now extremely glad that we did not try this as it would have been disastrous. The correct paperwork and disclosure factors are not for the amateur or the unadvised.
The help received throughout, including the escrow, was superb. My congratulations to all of you for not once ever indicating any displeasure over our many questions that we asked.
Thanks to your help in the quick escrow we are up here in Lincoln Hills and enjoying it very much.
Sincerely,','Rod Jordan','']; listingststm[22] = ['Tustin','CA','92780','Orange','1051t.jpg','24,700','I really appreciate all that you have done for me. You both lived up to everything that you said you would do. Your advice - from where to put the signs to helping me with potential buyers - was instrumental in moving my house to a quick close. You make everything so easy for the buyer and me.
I have bought and sold 7 homes in my life. This was the easiest of all my sales.
I sold the house in less than one month for $494,000, and I save $24,700 by going with you. Once we were in escrow, your professionalism made the buyer feel very comfortable. He was impressed with your sense of detail and felt that you were looking out for his best interest too. The buyer felt that you were representing him also.
I don\'t really feel that I did that much. All I actually did was to put up the signs and show the house to potential buyers, which I think was a great idea because no one knew my house better than I did. You negotiated with the buyers, coordinated all of the inspections, instructed me on all of the details, and did all of the escrow paper work.
The next time I want to buy or sell a house, I\'m coming to 1% Homeseller, Inc. Your performance exceeded my expectations.
You explained everything clearly, so that I could understand it, and you lived up to your commitments.
I signed your broker\'s agreement on March 20. I had my first open house on April 7 (because I needed to fix some things in the house). We opened escrow on April 25. We closed escrow on June 7. This whole process took 2 1/2 months, and I delayed the closing of escrow by two weeks because of a nephew\'s wedding!
I couldn\'t have asked an agent for more, and I can\'t thank you enough.

You presented paper works around my hectic work schedules. All of your hard work has paid off, we closed escrow on July 10, a perfect date for all of us!

With the requirement to close our property the day before the purchase of our new home, 1% Homeseller was the only agent in a 3 party transaction that was able to manage and maintain the deal. They went above and beyond the scope of what was required to ensure the sale would not fall out of escrow. I would recommend 1% Homeseller, Inc. to anyone selling or buying a home.

We originally chose your office to save a little money. However we received so much more. Your team welcomed us and treated us as if we were family. Jim and Barbara\'s sound advice, Mike\'s errand running and filling in the gaps, and Susan\'s reassuring voice on the phone, all combined to help ease us through the trials of selling our home.
Another reason we chose 1% Homeseller, Inc. is because we truly felt part of the team to sell our home. Before we signed up to use your services, we looked into several full scale realtors. They made us feel like a number to them. They would not make their huge commission unless they sold our house. As a result, they were willing to set an asking price far below what we knew we could get. We are so glad we signed with 1% Homeseller, Inc. The final offer we accepted was far above any amount recommended by a full-scale agent.

I call the office and you seem to recognize my voice and know every detail of my transaction (from the home inspection through the walk-thru), I’m going to miss talking to you.
A few months ago I contacted 1% Homeseller because I wanted to put my home up for sale. Being a first time seller, I was leery and wanted to investigate every angle. Before 1% Homeseller, I had met with various Real Estate Agents so I could make a wise decision on who would best represent me on the sale of my home.
I found that there was very little difference between the Real Estate agents who wanted to charge up to 6% commission versus 1% Homeseller. They both provide market evaluations on the home to see the best selling price and advised me on how to approach the market, they both provided “For Sale” Signs as well as brochures of the home for prospective buyers.
The main difference of course was that 1% Homeseller had me as a participant… I was to hold my own Open Houses (if I wanted) and I was to answer all phone calls of prospective buyers and show my own home.
I felt no one knew my home better than me, and no one could have more incentive than I would to sell the home. I enjoyed the doing the “open house”, it gave me a chance to hear what people thought of my lovely home and understand why my home was not for everyone. It made me a more aware seller.
I sold my home on the 2nd open house weekend. It was an amazing feeling to know that you contributed to the sale of your own home. 1% Homeseller gave me all the tools necessary for this to happen: The “For Sale” sign in front of the home, all the Open House signs I needed, all the brochures I needed and even hints on how to answer anticipated questions people might ask.
Once I referred my potential buyer to the 1% Homeseller team, the rest was in their hands. I originally wanted to save some money by saving on the commission… but I knew I lacked the knowledge of all the paperwork and legal stuff that goes with making a huge transaction such as a sale of a home. 1% Homeseller provided the expertise necessary to handle the transaction at a reasonable cost. Both the buyer and I felt very confident that all the necessary documentations were being drawn up. At no time during the transaction did I ever doubt or wonder whether all the documents were done correctly.
I enjoyed meeting with my buyer and actually negotiating face to face some of the routine decisions such as escrow period and such. If the buyer had a question, she contacted me directly and I would provide the answer, instead of each of us having our individual agents call each other up. In addition, anytime I had a question regarding my transaction, there was always someone in the office who could provide an answer immediately. The 1% Homeseller group works as a team and make MY transaction high priority on their list.
1% Homeseller allowed me the experience of selling my home, the chance to save thousands of dollars on commission expense and allowed me to pass on some of that savings onto my buyer, which resulted in a quicker sale.
I know that on my next home sale, I will be calling on the Amazing Five who helped me through my first home sale. I also know that their Website of Homes for Sale will be the first I look at on the next go around.

It has been my pleasure to be helping your clients with financing since 1992. In all that time you have embodied the qualities that I would like to have in a realtor working for me. There are three traits, which you possess that contribute to your success. They are Honesty, a strong Work Ethic, and Experience.
Many people in this industry try to take short cuts that lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction for their clients. You know that honesty is the best policy and it keeps your buyers, sellers and yourselves out of trouble. It is always better to get the right information out the first time. I’ve seen you counsel sellers on the benefits of full disclosure and it has saved them more money and heartache than they could imagine. Your honesty shows that you care about your people.
Weekends, nights and early in the morning properly describe the hours that you work.. I have driven by your office at all hours thinking I’m the only one in real estate working only to find your cars parked out front. Your work ethic has allowed your production goals to be met exceeding 98% of your peers on a national level.
Prior to ever allowing me to contact your clients you interviewed me for over a year. During those times I came to understand that you are in this business for the long haul. We discussed the early days, the present situation, and the future. Your knowledge of the business gave me the will and desire to work for your people because I knew that your experience was greater than anyone else I had encountered. You sometimes have more transactions in a month than some agents do in a year.
