Dear Maria:


               We just wanted to say thank you, for your efforts.  You were our support, throughout our recent real estate transaction's.  It is always difficult and stressful when buying and selling real estate.  Our recent home purchase was much easier, because of your commitment to your clients. 

                 We have dealt with many realtors and I grew up around real estate, so I know how to recognize a good agent.  My parents bought and sold houses as a hobby.  We have not met any other realtor who is so willing to go out of their way for a client.  You will continue when most real estate agents quit. The agents that we have dealt with seem more interested in commission, than the helping their clients.  You are not like that, your clients are a top priority.  We were very impressed with your willingness to take on more than need be just to meet our housing needs.  You are based in Fremont, yet you went to Walnut Creek to show us homes..  You assisted us on making an offer, which was quickly accepted, and negotiated us a new roof.  Fantastic! 

             We were also quite pleased with the job you did in selling our townhome.  We received full price.  We had the townhome on the market twice before and it never worked out. 
  
              Both escrow's went quite smooth.  There were a few obstacles and you were right there to help us solve all of them.  What's more, we know that you are an honest realtor.  That is very important.  You have to trust the person that is dealing with your home, whether buying or selling.  Equity is a persons biggest asset.  We know that we can trust you. You are a dedicated, honest realtor, keep up the good work.

             Thank you for making buying AND selling a home so easy.  

                                                     
 Sincerely,
 The Bucala Family

Hello,

This letter is to express my sincere appreciation and admiration for the work by Maria Elola.  We interviewed several Real Estate Agents to sell our home, but as soon as we met Maria, we knew we had the right Agent.  We were impressed with Maria’s strong personal drive, motivation and positive attitude.  She instantly took an interest in our house, our family, and dedicated herself to whatever we needed in order to sell our home. 

Once we made up our mind to hire Maria, we were constantly given reason to feel good about our choice.  Maria was working on selling our house immediately, and she was always sure to remind us that we were the “boss”.  Whenever a challenge would come our way, she handled it calmly and diplomatically, always making sure our best interests were kept in mind. She held several open houses, arranged special events for the other agents, and made sure everything was done with the highest of quality and personal care.   She gave input, without being overbearing, and was always a delight to communicate with. 

Maria has a style that benefits her customers in two ways; we enjoyed collaborating with her and working with her, and because of her great personality, other buyers, agents and lenders enjoyed working with her, making the entire transaction happen so much quicker and smoother.

We sold our home with 4 offers that exceeded our asking price.  We are very thankful to Maria’s dedication and hard work, as we know this would not have been possible without her hard work.
