Dear Roger,
We want you to know how pleased we are with our new house. After several months of searching, we thought we would never find a house that had so many of the features that we had wanted. We are especially pleased that our new house is just ten minutes away from our former neighborhood in Seattle.
Up until the time that we saw this house, we were thinking that we should give up the search and go ahead with our plans to add a large addition onto our previous home. Thank you for saving us from the experience of living in a house while it is undergoing major construction!
We can’t thank you enough for the valuable advice and assistance that you gave us in helping to get our home ready to sell. The improvements that we made really paid off when we had a good offer that we accepted the very first week. And it was most gratifying that the house sold for more than we had anticipated.
Throughout the entire buying and selling process, we greatly appreciated your patience, perseverance and professionalism. Instead of trying to dissuade us from some of our “requirements,” you instead encouraged us to look outside the city limits, which proved to have been an excellent idea.
We now have a larger house, with fewer stairs and a large, sunny lot in which to garden. Thank you for helping make this possible. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.
With warm regards,
Jack M. and Gloria M. Buce
To Whom It May Concern:
During the fall of 1993 Steve Laevastu and Roger Turner helped me to sell my Ravenna area home. I selected them to be my listing agents because of their knowledge of the market and experience with homes in my neighborhood.
When they presented a thorough market analysis of my home, I was especially impressed with their energy, enthusiasm, and the fact that they would be working as a team.
Several problems arose during the sale of my home concerning difficult demands of potential buyers and seemingly endless last minute repairs requested by lenders. This was an extremely stressful time for me, but Steve and Roger handled each situation as it came up with a positive, professional attitude. They kept me well informed throughout the sale and were always available to answer all of my questions.
I highly recommend Steve and Roger to anyone interested in buying or selling a home.
Sincerely,
Nancy Richmond
To Whom It May Concern:
We would like to express our appreciation for the efficient and professional attention we received from Roger Turner of Windermere Real Estate.
During the summer of 1992, we listed our Queen Anne Condo with Roger. He gave us advice on how to best market our home, and quickly planned strategies and arranged open houses. The condo sold in less than two months.
In the process of selling the condo, we were left with the task of buying a new home rather suddenly. Roger spent many hours researching homes based upon our needs and wants to better utilize what little time we had to actually look at homes.
Once we found the home we wanted to buy, Roger effectively negotiated between the seller and ourselves.
We would highly recommend Roger as a real estate agent to anyone either buying or selling a home. We fully intend to use his services in the future.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Sal Petriello
To Whom It May Concern:
After surveying the Ravenna District by driving around looking at homes for sale and the ones that had not been sold, I pondered for a long time which real estate company to contact regarding a house estate sale in this area. There were so many companies represented.
Finally, I decided to contact Windermere. There was a brochure with Roger Turner’s name on it and I called him. He agreed to come over to the house and was extremely prompt. He had with him a marketing analysis for this address and was knowledgeable of the appraisal values of the homes in the Ravenna area. I found him to be extremely polite, and I liked his mannerism and he seemed very personable, cooperative and informative. He did not display an attitude of being a salesman who “knew it all.”
After explaining the situation of the estate sale, I found out he had recently handled an estate sale in his own immediate family. While talking with him I felt assured that he had the salesmanship, capability and suggestions for marketing the home.
During our transaction, when a maintenance problem arose, Roger was able to provide me with names of reliable individuals such as, removing carpeting, dump hauling, etc. which was very helpful.
From my experience in marketing for a long time, I would recommend him very highly to anyone who is looking for a good salesman and representative in handling their real estate sale of home and property.
Leigh Bennett, our attorney; Arch Mallinson, co-administrator and myself were completely amazed at the number of offers from prospective buyers and how quickly the house was sold at the asking price. The paper work for the sale was processed very smoothly.
Thank you, Roger, for your part in making this possible. I wish to congratulate you on the upcoming addition to your family and I wish you success in the real estate business. Hang in there.
Sincerely,
Margaret Brown
