Here is what others have said about my service

Dear Frank:

Maggi and I wish to really thank you for the magnificent effort and time you put into selling our house.

When we met, I was in the process of interviewing/evaluating other local real estate agents as, we had previously listed our home for sale without success and were feeling very discouraged and disappointed going into the late summer months in what appeared was a declining market.

During our initial discussions, I quickly realized that you had a very unique advertising and marketing plan. and I was frankly (excuse the pun) awed by the your professional approach, expertise and guidance from the very beginning .

Once we got to know you, we found you to be genuinely and sincerely committed to helping us prepare the house to show its best and due to your experience, I fully agreed with and implemented ALL of your suggestions to improve the general salability and again, was really appreciative of the fact that you put on your jeans and worked side by side with me to get the job done in time to meet our agreed upon Listing date.

Your suggestion of using and finding for us, a “Stager” turned out to be brilliant as, the house simply looked amazing and I am sure it helped enormously in getting the House Sold within Three Thousand dollars from our asking price.

I cannot end this letter without stating that I was also extremely impressed with your weekend open houses and your continuous follow up on any and all leads that were generated from these and any other sources plus, at the crunch so to speak, your diligence in managing to get MULTIPLE offers to bring our selling price up to the desired level.

Again, many thanks for all your hard work.

Best regards,

Harry & Maggi Anderson

PS   Everyone of my friends who saw the house as listed were amazed at the transformation that we achieved and I am sure that if as and when they in turn come to sell their properties, they will not hesitate in calling you.

My goal is 100% client satisfaction. Here is what one of my last clients had to say...

Dear Frank:

Just of note of “thanks” for all your help in selling and purchasing a new property.  We were very relieved when you “came on the scene” and were able to get a crew out to put up a new fence in one day.  Something we had been trying to do for over a week.  They did a great job and finished in two days and saved us several hundred dollars.  These same guys, who we would highly recommend, also put in a sliding patio door for us, again doing a great job and saving us $250.00.  Frank, we also appreciate your hard work in cleaning out the backyard, trimming hedge and mowing the lawn, above and beyond.

Relative to looking for a condo, although we were a bit indecisive which required you to show us many units, we appreciate the fact that you were always gracious and never tried to push us into anything we may regret later.

We are very happy in the condo and as you know have settled in comfortably.  Taz and Becky adjusted immediately, loving all the windows.  Willow is taking a bit longer, but is now coming out of hiding several times a day, even if it is only to eat.

Anyway, Frank many thanks for all your hard work.

Best regards,

Mary Lou & Georgie

PS Everyone  enjoyed the open house, big success – thanks.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

 Frank Jones, Sales Representative

Royal LePage Real Estate Services, Johnston & Daniel Division

 I would like to take the opportunity to commend Frank for his dedication and diligence in working with our family to conclude the recent successful sale of our home. 

Frank takes the time to sit down with his clients to explain and answer all questions related to the process of selling your home.  That conscientious service continues

with the client through all phases of the process including preparing your home for sale;  developing a marketing plan;  the home showing and finally, the negotiations leading to the successful sale of your home. 

We appreciated Frank’s regular communication and updates.  We felt that we were ‘in step’ with what was happening at all times. 

During the period in which we were preparing our home for sale, Frank rolled up his sleeves and even took the time to help us with some of our minor repairs. 

Frank is a ‘hands-on’ realtor and I recommend him to those who are looking for a high level of personal service in the sale of their home.

Yours Truly,

Marita Adams

If you're thinking of selling your home, I would be happy to provide you with a FREE PROFESSIONAL HOME EVALUATION .  This is not a drive by or quick walk through of your home. I take extensive notes of the Lot size, Structure square footage, Building design, exterior finishing, Interior finishing, Room sizes, Flooring, Electrical, Plumbing, Furnace, Air conditioning, Windows, Hardware, Cabinets,  Baths, Showers, Sinks, Tile and much more. Then I research all comparable properties weighing the differences to find the most comparable based on they above plus location advantages or disadvantages. Now the process of searching land titles on all sales of that property and surrounding properties. Exclusive to Realtors is a tool that can search back as far as 1982 on all MLS sales of similar properties in the area. Now with all this information we can estimate property annual / quarterly and even monthly appreciation. Now taking into consideration the time of year it may be we can also research the amount of time similar properties take to sell. Taking all this information into account I will prepare for you a written Comparable Market Analysis including all the above-mentioned information for you to set your own price.

When you’re selling your home, the price you set is a critical factor. The house value estimation is the most important part of market analysis. If your thinking of updating or renovating prior to listing to maximize the sale price of your property I can aid you in giving you a Comparable Market Analysis of homes in the condition yours will be when the update is finished. With a background of 20 plus years in residential construction and renovation my experience will surely be an asset. Call me first before spending thousands of dollars on updates that may not increase the value of your property as hoped. Don’t forget you have to live in a construction zone, in my experience this is the one major factor home owners underestimate.
