"Bryan,
I want to thank you for the wonderful work you have done for Jamie, Jennie, Marian, and me. You are the absolute best real estate person I have ever dealt with, and I only wish you could sell my Palo Alto house for me!
I really appreciate your professionalism, incredible knowledge, patience, and your obvious "smarts". I have told Jamie repeatedly how pleased I am that he chose you to find them a house. And what a house! I still can't get over how beautiful it is. It is the house that was meant to be theirs, and it couldn't possibly have happened without you.
Bryan -- we can't thank you enough -- your excellent judgment, tireless perseverance, hard work, ability to entertain our kids and terrific sense of humor made this all possible.
It would appear that the science of marketing becomes ever so important when one sells one?s house. The swing of perceived value, and thus real dollars, can vary greatly; especially if the ask price is off base.
In the sale you just completed for us, the realization of the ?win? at the June 23rd closing makes the strategy you established and set all the more important. To put it simply, you knew exactly what to do and how to do it and, you helped keep us calm and focused.
When we met about five plus years ago, I told you then that we?d eventually put our house on the market; wanting to move to a smaller place, but also wanting to get maximum dollars. Then a year ago the market tanked and it was hard to decide what to do and when to do it.
When we talked about that, you told us that coming in at a high perceived value would only spiral the price down, but that a fair price would probably stick and even possibly create some sort of a bidding war. And, you told us exactly when to do this.
We followed your plan ? and boom! One day after the house was put on the market we got one bid at the ask, and two days later a second. That was jiggled about for a few days and in the end the house was sold at a tick over the ask price and everyone came out a winner.
This came down to your experience, your insight, your planning, your marketing and your execution. For this homerun, we thank you." back to top
