Client Testimonials

Dear Roger,

Just a quick note to say thanks for all of your hard work in selling our old home and finding one we love! All within a week’s time. Impressive!

You never missed a beat! Your concern for what we needed and wanted was a priority and very much appreciated. I hope to see you and Steve at our open house on the 23rd.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,
Glen & Anita Arnesor

Dear Roger,

I want to thank you for all the attention and support you gave to my husband and myself during a most difficult time in my life. That as you remember being the sale of the little house I grew up in after the sudden death of my father. Although I hadn’t been to that home in many years prior to my daddy’s death (as he rented it out), having to go there and find it in such poor status was more than I could bear. My father was very attached to that little house as was I so our value on the house was more sentimental than realistic.

Your part that is so appreciated isn't that you sold our little house in a timely and efficient manner but that you were so very patient with my unrealistic need to try to do what would have pleased my father. I knew in the very beginning that my price was too high but you made every effort to help me without making me feel foolish. At the same time you knew when I was approachable to suggest lowering my price.

Because of your kindness and patience, we were able to sell the house at a prime selling time and able to get a fair price that I can feel comfortable my father would have approved of. You not only were a great sales representative but a true friend. I hope that all of your clients can come to know you as my husband and I have and realize that they are in good hands. I would recommend your services highly. In closing I would also like to make note of your willingness to meet with us so far out of your way as we live in Tacoma and the house we were selling was in your area.

I also liked how many times you offered to get your hands dirty by checking on the house for us or doing some odd job that definitely was above the call of a real estate broker and agent. I have the highest esteem for your moral values and your honesty. You don't come across as the stereotyped fast talking salesman we dealt with before we chose you to be our rep. Just a humble daddy and husband doing his job.

Roger, we want you to know how much you have come to mean to our family and hope that you'll stay in touch. God Bless your family. You deserve it! Thanks again for your help.

Your friends,
Kyle and Barbara Hartman

Dear Roger,

Thank you for selling our house so quickly. We were very nervous about the prospects at the time of year we chose to move. Especially after you showed us the percentage of homes that sell in the months of October and November. Since we had already purchased our new home several hundred miles away, we indeed wanted the sale to be expedient. Not only did you find buyers for us but they were exactly the kind of people we wanted to buy our home of 20 years. They seemed to love it like we did & although we didn't want our attachment of our home influence us, it did.

Our was one of ten homes in that price bracket that sold in Seattle during November. Considering the size of the city, we felt very lucky to be one of those few homes that sold. Thanks to your marketing strategy and courtesy, you did it. We appreciated your honesty & enjoyed working with you. We apologize for any misgivings we made…..it is not easy selling something you love.

Thanks again. We're not too deep in the woods and pretty easy to find if you are ever over this way.

Sincerely,
Michael and Beth McIntosh

Dear Roger,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your relentless efforts, endless patience and selflessness in helping me find the right fit within my personal financial requirements. I appreciate the endless stakeouts in search of the right house to meet my liking. Also, let me say it was very enjoyable working with you and I feel your experience greatly benefited me when it got right down to the bottom line.

Thank you again for your patronage, courtesy and patience.

Sincerely,
Brad Fallon

Dear Roger,

We would both like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for all of your hard work you did to help us find and purchase our new home. We are enjoying our home very much and look forward to many years here.

After going through the process of buying a home, we can now appreciate the work of a good real estate agent. Because you took the time to show us the many houses it took to find this one, worked around our schedules, were able to give us accurate advice on the purchase, sale and loan process details we were able to get a great house we love at a price well under it's appraised value.

All along the way you were able to offer recommendations, not just one but several for us to choose from and in the one case we selected a lender other than one of your recommendations you were able to complete the transaction flawlessly.

We have already had the opportunity to recommend your service and will continue to recommend you in the future. Thanks again and we wish you many more successful years in real estate.

Sincerely,
Timothy and Carolyn Hazen

Dear Roger & Steve,

I am writing to express my appreciation for you assistance in selling my house in the Maple Leaf district of Seattle. Your repair suggestions before listing, your answers to my questions, your willingness to negotiate a listing agreement, your responsiveness to my calls, your conduct at agent showings and open houses and you skills during sale negotiations were all performed in a very professional manner that I found very satisfactory and reassuring during this time of high anxiety and during which I was mostly out of town.

If I an ever be of assistance as a reference or you would like to use this letter for promotional purposes, feel free to do so.

Thanks again to you both and I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday time.

Yours very truly,

David W. Roberts

Dear Roger,

Just a quick note to thank you again for your expertise in selling my house in Maple Leaf. Although this was my fourth house, the process of selling has changed considerably since I bought this one eleven years ago. I may well have died of stress without your help. I appreciate you having those back-up buyers “in the wings” so to speak after the first buyer got cold feet!

Keep up the great work and I'll be calling you as soon as I am ready to buy my next house.

Sincerely,
Don Carlson

Dear Roger,

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the excellent work you have performed in being our realtor. Your experience and skills in real estate show in a manner of true professionalism.

You were always available when we had questions regarding properties. The quality of commitment you gave us through the real estate transaction was commendable.

Three years later we are loving our new home on our acreage. I don't believe it could have been a smoother transition without your help. I would highly recommend Roger to anyone dealing with real estate properties, whether buying or selling. Thanks for being you!

Sincerely,

Francis D. Gould

Dear Roger,

Thanks for the fantastic basket of Northwest goodies. It proves that Seattle is a haven for fine food as well as fine people.

The move went well as moves can though there are still a few missing items hiding in boxes. We spent almost a week cleaning walls, floors, pulling up carpet and putting a fresh coat of paint in most of the rooms. Our first night in the house was Wednesday the 6th. With Brenda's due date three weeks away, we still had plenty of time to work on some preliminary nesting. No so. Friday evening her water broke. Saturday morning found us at the hospital and by 6am we had a baby boy. His name is Clark David and his room is still not ready. Fortunately we have a new home with a huge master bedroom that easily accommodates the three of us.

Thank you for making it all possible. Through your hard work, research, questions and answers we were able to find and purchase our new home. When we're nearer to having the place cleaned up and ready we hope you'll accept an invitation to see how it has changed.

Thanks again for all of your help

Sincerely,
Fred and Brenda Krusemark

To Whom It May Concern:

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the efforts made by Roger Turner and Steve Laevastu in the sale of our home.

Both Steve and Roger dealt with every aspect of the sale of our home in a very professional and straight forward manner, while at the same time showing a great deal of understanding for our feelings. This is our first house and one we have loved dearly, so putting it up on the market was not an easy thing to do. Steve and Roger showed concern for emotions we were dealing with and exhibited an unusual ability to move forward with business while also taking the time out to give us space to deal with our anxiety.

Roger and Steve provided us with many good ideas for readying our home for the market and actually saved us money by recommending not doing extensive remodeling just for resale. We went with their suggestions and got top dollar for our home.

We would happily recommend Roger Turner and Steve Laevastu to anyone seeking assistance in selling their home. We're sure they will make it an enjoyable and exciting experience.

Sincerely,
Greg Cartozian and Susan Reich
