"I am writing this letter to express my gratitude and appreciation for the manner in which my family's recent real estate transaction was conducted. From day one, our questions were answered, our concerns addressed, and we found the entire process quite enlightening.
Probably not something one would expect in the purchasing of a property.
About 6 months ago I wrote a letter to Gary Nathan of your firm expressing our desire to look for a property during our annual summer visit to the Hayward area. His response was immediate and helpful; he suggested strongly we work with Chris McGrath, the resident expert in lake property real estate.
Living 310 miles from Hayward I was a bit skeptical of how basic communication, questions, and concerns would be addressed. It turned out to be flawless as Chris was always on top of a situation; whether it was via phone, email, or use of the internet. Initially we were sent numerous listings that fit our profile, and then from time to time Chris would send another that would pop up under new MLS listings. By the time we arrived for our week's vacation, we had narrowed our search to 6 or 7 properties and scheduled two afternoons for viewing. As luck would have it we were able to view our first afternoon's schedule via pontoon boat as 4 properties were located on the same lake we were staying. It gave us an apportunity to get to know each other and pick Chris's brain about fishing, restaurants, and the area in general. It became a most enjoyable day!
Our second day found us viewing the property we eventually purchased. Chris was never pushy and always concerned about our needs and desires; not closing the sale and booking a commission. Because we went into this process expecting to purchase vacant land property, it was a bit nerve racking when our offer was actually accepted on a cabin! Chris guided us effortlessly through the process - answering questions and taking the lead in negotiations.
During the 'due diligence' and closing process Chris was very supportive of our concerns; he hired inspectors, the title company, a surveyor, and even a locksmith in our absence. Every care and concern was addressed and resolved to our complete satisfaction. It became very evident that Chris has a real passion for his profession - he loves his work and it shows.
The sale took about 5 or 6 weeks to finalize and being over 300 miles away was not an issue. If Chris was out or unavailable the office staff assisted seamlessly or got word to Chris and we would touch base that evening. No problems no worries! Your office motto; Exceeding Your Expectations certainly rang true." - Jack Liebl/2008
"Barbara always went above and beyond what a typical agent would do. The entire staff was very helpful" - Jack Hemming/August 2009
"I would like to let you know about our exceptional experience with our
realtor: Barbara Bolitho. My wife & I "the Golden Retriever couple", were looking for a cabin in Hayward and we feel lucky to have found such a caring and helpful realtor. We have dealt with many other realtors and none have the integrity of Barbara! She was always going the extra mile to get us information and we appreciate her honesty. I would strongly recommend her & your office to anyone trying to buy or sell. Please acknowledge her excellent work!"
- Al Bowman
