It's Nice To Be Appreciated !
The following is an actual e-mail I received a few days ago from one of my buyer clients who closed escrow at the end of June:
My wife and I started exploring a move to the Boise region in early 2008. We were attracted to the Ada/Canyon area but concerned as we had never purchased a home in an unsettled, declining market. Some real estate agents we have met in the past were marked optimists who would never term a property overpriced or identify negatives. Many had never worked in a “bear” real-estate market.
I discovered Phil through his web site and blog and recognized that he both had many years of experience and was willing to discuss the positive and negative aspects of the local market and specific properties. From our first meeting we found him to be very professional, organized, knowledgeable, and remarkably attentive to detail.
After dragging him around Ada and Canyon Counties on two visits, we found several appealing houses. Phil helped us research and understand their individual advantages and disadvantages and also referred us to two very experienced, professional loan officers. With preapproved financing, he carefully crafted our purchase offer.
Through the initial (accepted) offer, inspection, financing, closing, and final home walk-through, Phil remained consistently organized, accessible, patient, and insightful. We not only appreciated his professional skills and wise counsel but those of the equally gifted professionals whom he recommended.
Thanks, Phil!
