Steve Laevastu Testimonials

November, 05 2006

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

When it came lime to sell our ten-year-old condominium there was no question that Steve Laevastu would be our agent. He had successfully sold two homes for us in the past.

 

Though our condo was in nice shape, it was in need of some updating we weren’t sure about exactly what updating would yield the greatest selling results. Steve led us to the right answers and resources.

 

The first weekend our condo was on the market we had three competing offers. We didn't necessarily assume that the highest dollar offer should be the best offer in the long run. Steve helped us to discern which offer was the most solid . In the end, we ended up landing the highest ever offer in our one hundred-unit complex.

 

On the buying end Steve was our agent in purchasing a new-construction home. He was adept at taking an offer to a large home developer. Steve even went as far as to deal directly with the vice-president of finance in this large company in order to secure a fair price.

 

Our greatest assurance in dealing with Steve in both the buying and selling of homes is our confidence in Steve's ability to correctly handle any part of the process. We firmly trust his integrity and expertise.

 

Sincerely,

 

J. Scott and Pia Marshall

Dear Steve,

 

We would like to thank you for the top-notch service you provided as our selling agent. You were responsive, timely, informative, friendly, very accessible, and very hands-on.

 

You convinced us in just one meeting that we should choose you as our agent, and you were right! Our entire experience was seamless (for us, anyway!) and very easy.

 

You offered us great tips on little things we could do to improve the marketability of our home, and our house looked stunning while it was on the market, in large part due to your diligence in keeping it up while we were away. We were very impressed by the compelling and comprehensive flyer you created for our home, and the beautiful pictures you posted online.

 

Ultimately, our home sold for $20k more than the asking price, and you negotiated a fantastic deal. You kept our best interests at heart through the whole process, while also remaining fair to the buyers and potential buyers. We will attest that you have great integrity and reliability, in addition to being a terrific salesman!

 

We also really appreciated your offer to assist us with any of the closing documents on our new home (which we were purchasing through my late grandmother’s trust, and therefore, didn’t have an agent for), at no additional cost. This offer exemplifies the high-touch service you provide to your clients.

 

Thank you again for all of your successful efforts. We will be sure to recommend you to all of our friends and family, and will definitely use you again in the future if/when we are buying or selling a home!

 

Warmest regards,

Michael and Jessica McFarlane

Dear Steve,

 

Choosing a realtor was a hard decision for us because we’d made a mistake in the past. We didn’t realize how much the right listing agent could do for us. We’re so glad that we chose you. You helped us make all the right decisions and supported us every step of the way.

 

Our house in Richmond Beach sold in only six hours. You stayed with us throughout the whole process from presentation to closing and were always available, positive, and encouraging.

 

Your business attitude is now a model to us of success. We wish you luck and future success. As you say, “Things are great, and the best is yet to come.”

 

We’ll be quoting you a lot. Thanks Steve.

 

Sincerely,

John Simpson and Miriam Singer

Steve:

 

Thank you for the generous house warming gift and all your effort and professionalism in procuring a wonderful house for us. Matt, Sarah, and I couldn’t be happier with the park nearby, and I wouldn’t be surprised if her [Sarah’s] first words were: “Location location location!”

 

We will be happy to recommend you to our friends, and perhaps you’ll be seeing us again in about five years as sellers (if fortune smiles…)!

 

Good luck in everything!

 

Thanks again,

Melissa, Matthew, and Sarah

Dear Steve,

 

We just wanted to write to say thank you very much. Your attitude, eagerness to please, and your wisdom of real estate are amazing. We couldn’t imagine doing this again with any other agent.

 

Thank you for holding our hand through this stressful time and going to bat for us. It was above and beyond the call of duty. We will miss the “Any questions or concerns?”

 

Thank you so very much!

Steve and Midori

Dear Steve,

 

How can I thank you for your professional and detailed help in selling my home? I really appreciate how you went beyond the call of duty in giving me the optional help and attention to details that I never would have been able to cope with on my own. You have my everlasting gratitude!

 

I assure you if anyone is in need of a very competent and personable real estate agent, you can bet you will be my number one recommendation.

 

Sincerely,

Catherine La Casse

To Prospective Home Buyers/Sellers:

 

I’m writing to offer you my highest recommendation of Windermere realtor Steve Laevastu. Steve recently sold my home in the Greenlake area. I had interviewed a couple of realtors before selecting Steve. I can say that decision was based not simply on his thorough knowledge of the market, and realtor experience, but on his “bullish” attitude toward my home. Steve saw the qualities in my home that I had loved, in fact, I’ve owned this home twice now in my life. The other realtor saw the challenges in selling my home. Steve saw the strengths and I went with him.

 

You will find Steve is very responsive to your situation, and works seven days a week at your beck and call. His enthusiasm and professionalism are exemplary. If you go with Steve know you’ll be in good hands, best of luck with your sale or purchase!

 

Sincerely,

Greg Walsh
