"When we listed the properties with you we received excellent service, professional execution and frequent communication. The end result was that we received mutiple offers for a bulk sale of the commercial properties at a price we were pleased with."
When our Mom died last year my brother, sister and I decided we needed to sell her home and two commercial buildings. All three properties had difficult pronlems. The home was dated, worn inside and had a strange floor plan. The commercial buildings were very old, in disrepair, badly managed, had underperforming tenants and were located in the old part of Port Orchard where modern retailing practices are rare! Our ancestor's businesses have been part of the local fabric for about a hundred years. Bur, none of us had the ability to move in and activiely manage the properties productively.
The challenge for us was to find the best real estate expert in a market crowded with agents. We sought advice form our parents' friends. One, the president of the largest local bank, gave us three names to interview. He also advised us that you were the only one in Kitsap County real estate that knew the market, had the right experience and had a record of actually closing sales on difficult properties. After interviewing all three candidates we took our banker's advice and signed a listing agreement with you for the commercial properties.
From the very beginning the quality of your response and follow-up, your expertise and comfortable manner of dealing with us convinced us that you were the best choice. Whe we listed the proeprties with you we received excellent service, professional execution and frequent communication. The end result was that we received multiple offers for a bulk sale of the commercial properties at a price that we were pleased with. Your monitroing of the closing process guaranteed a smooth transition through the complexities of inspections, title issues and all of the other issues that can become "deal killers". We felt that you used your insight and negotiating skills in our best interest througout.
At your suggestion, we listed the residential property with your teammate, Betty Bostic Wohlford, on the Guaranty Home Sales Team. She handled this sale with equal skill and service. The ability to have a single point of contact for the combined services was a major plus and the team approach assured us that the details important to us would not be overlooked or ignored.
At the time we decided to sell Mom's assets, our Port Orchard estate and family attorney advised us that it could painfully diffcult and slow due to the stagnant Old Port Orchard economy. With you guiding us, we enjoyed proving him wrong. Not only did you find a buyer, but we watched you lead other agents and turn Bay Street into a lively real estate market!
I strongly recommend you to anyone wanting to buy, sell or lease real estate. The value you provide with your services far exceeds the commision you worked hard to earn. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
William H. Sprague
