Client Testimonial July 2006

Hi Anthony,
How are you? Hope you are doing well. You'll probably have to jog your memory as to who I am, but this email is LONG LONG overdue.... you had asked for testimonial for the service you provided in selling our home in Hollywood Hills (6331 Grape) back in January, and I got busy and selfish with my time and forgot about it. But better late than never right?
Anyway, we are currently in a similar situation up here in the Bay area trying to sell our home that we listed with the top realtor in that area, but he did not do well in marketing the house so it sat empty with little activity for 2 months! So we let him go, and hired a team from Keller Williams up here. It's still on the market (it's on it's 3rd month now) so cross your fingers that it will sell soon!

Anyway, in all honesty, when we were looking for a new realtor last month, we had wish you were up here to sell the house!!! And if we couldnt get you, we wanted to find an Anthony Vulin of the Bay Area to list our house!

Which we never found, but found the 2nd best, nonetheless.
Now reflecting back to the sale of our Hollywood Hills house, we were spoiled by you. We constantly received updates by phone and email, you sent us all the marketing pieces, and when you went on vacation, you made sure you were covered so we never ever felt out of touch with you.. and being that we were 400 miles away, it seemed as if you were local, becuase you kept that communication going. You even went out of your way to arrange the stager, the carpert cleaners, and eveyrthing else you thought needed work.You really went that extra mile. I felt that you totally embraced our house as if it was yours and went to market it as if it was yours. What i'm noticing about our current experience of trying to sell our house up here, is that the realtors are not embracing our home with pride the way you did with Hollywood. That hollywood house had its issues and its quirkiness, yet you gave it love and care, and honestly, i think that is why it sold within a week of you relisting it with your team. You put the right kind of energy and determination out there in getting that house sold, and it sold. I wish I could have that kind of energy up here to sell our current home.

I don't know what you believe in, but I truly believe that if you put love and passion into something, you will alsways succeed... whether it's a new career, a 50k marathon, or whatever. You put the love and passion of what you do, into the sale of our home and it was was truly a success.

For this, I don't know how to thank you, except know that when w'ere ready to buy or sell again in LA (we stiill have 2 properties there), you will be the one we'll call. Either that, or can you come up here and get licensed to sell in the Bay Area?! :-) We need your dedication and perseverance up here! And if you won't do that, at least, if you're back in this area
again soon and have some time, it would be great to go for lunch or a coffee!

take care,

sorry this is LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG overdue, and keep in touch,

Michelle Oviedo
