Letters of Recommendation
And now a word from our clients.... Here's our latest Letter of Recommendation:
February 2006 To Whom It May Concern: I write to recommend Ida Abelson as a most effective and honest realtor (both of which are hard to find). My husband and I were making plans to retire and move in July of 2006. We currently live in one of the coveted end units in Brickyard Landing. So in August of 2005, I asked Ida if she would come over and give me some advice on what we needed to do to make our unit more saleable and get the optimum price. Just previous to Ida’s visit, I had received several estimates on kitchen remodeling. These estimates were, in my opinion, astronomical leaving me confused as to how to proceed. When Ida came, I shared with her the estimates and asked for advice on the choices presented along with advice on timing for putting our condo on the market. All the while, I was thinking we would be looking at months and money involved in preparing the place for sale. To my surprise, Ida explained that to redo the kitchen just for resale “would be ludicrous”. No matter what choice we made, a buyer would probably want something different. Then she went on to consider the timing issue. Predictions were that interest rates were rising and the competition of the new building project by the old ferry terminal both indicated that the present (Sept. 2005) rather than waiting till spring would be the best time to try out the market. Ida, then mentioned her suggested listing price which would mean we would more than double our investment in just the 6 years we lived there. Needless to say, my interest was peaked. But we couldn’t move till the end of the school year. Again, Ida’s creative solution was we list it, but include a “rent back” agreement. I must admit, I never dreamed this would work, but we thought, “what do we have to lose?” Another problem was that, at the time, we were both extremely busy and felt we didn’t have the time to get the place ready to show. Again, Ida presented a solution. She suggested we give her an exclusive listing and we not put it in the multiple. That way, Ida would be the only one showing the place which solved the problem of both of us working full time and leaving the dog at home. She felt that the way we kept our place regularly would be just fine for showing. We listed with her in early September. We were gone most weekends so Ida held open houses and showed the place during the week while we were gone to work. We basically had no intrusions or extra effort. By the end of October, she brought us a full price offer with a rent-back agreement. I would never have dreamed this possible. We have moved and bought and sold four different houses. This was by far the smoothest, most painless process. We still cannot believe how easy Ida made it for us. No matter what concern we had, she presented a solution. She kept us informed and was vigilant from beginning to the end. We now have the money in hand to invest. We do not have to be concerned about “the bubble bursting” in the housing market. And all this with practically no effort or stress on our part. Ida truly represented us in every way. We recommend Ida Abelson enthusiastically to any seller/buyer. Please feel free to contact us for a verbal recommendation or any questions. Sincerely, Sheila and Mike McCanta THANK YOU SHEILA AND MIKE! Want to see additional letters?
