Importance of Success Stories in Real Estate

Testimonials, among many other factors, are how real estate agents gain their audience’s trust. It is easier to trust an agent will help you when you see their previous clients voice their satisfaction. This highlights the importance of success stories in real estate. Furthermore, behind every testimonial, there is a lesson to learn. Lessons that teach real estate agents how to make their clients happy. Most of the time, clients’ happiness is the result of something beyond the usual things real estate agents do. It is going above and beyond. In this article, we will tell you the stories behind some of our agents’ testimonials.

Tiffani Perry

Tiffani was born and raised in the beautiful San Francisco, Bay Area. She has lived most of her life in Fremont, Ca where she graduated from American High School with honors and went on to receive her bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at DeVry University in Fremont.

During that time, she realized she wanted to do something to help others reach their goals of homeownership, so she began taking real estate courses at RealEstateU. Once she completed the courses, she received her license and began focusing on single family homes, townhomes, condos, and vacant land. Today she has expanded her education to also include commercial real estate, new construction, and multifamily properties within the Bay Area.

Tiffani’s Testimonial

“I have been working with Tiffani for 4 months, I am impressed by her persistence and dedication. She is very trustworthy and always on top of her game. It is a joy to work with her and I highly recommend Tiffani if you are looking to buy in the Bay Area.”

Tiffani’s Story

“I have been working with my client for many months to find her the right site to begin construction on her development project. I was determined to find her a property that would meet her needs and criteria. Once we found the right property it was important to do my due diligence on the property before submitting an offer and going under contract. Today I continue to work with my client to find other potential opportunities for new construction.”

J. Neil Hamilton

When Neil was young his family had to work hard to afford a home. Even so, through their hard work and pride of ownership, their house was always the nicest looking home on the block. He applies the same hard work, analysis, and love for the business to assist his clients with their real estate needs.

Neil’s Testimonial

“We have bought and sold numerous properties and businesses, and Neil was by far the most knowledgeable AND caring agent we have ever worked with. His knowledge of all aspects of the business is vast and he takes the time to explain things…”

Phil & Clarise Jones
Seller

Neil’s Story

“With Phil and Clarise, as with all my clients, I really center on the personal touch and working hard to obtain for my clients a property that not only fills their physical requirements (size, layout etc.) but that excites them… Your home is where you spend most of your time; it’s your personal private space where you want to feel safe and relaxed. So, I try to match my clients’ desires with their new personal space. Of course, I also do my best to match all their other requirements as well – affordability, location, etc. etc. In Vancouver, that’s not always easy but I usually get what my clients want…lastly, I COMMUNICATE with them – regularly – so they always know what’s going on…”

Brad C.
Buyer and Seller

Michael’s Story

“We had listed a number of houses either for Brad or his family, they always sold with the first couple weeks for close list price or over.  They had dealt with other agents prior and have not had the same experience.  It was a combination of pricing strategy and marketing plan.  The family has trust in our judgment, so it allowed us to obtain desired results.  He’s been great referring us, and I look forward to our continued success together.”

Sharon & Larry V.
Buyer and Seller

Rick’s Story

“This was a couple that called me after their home expired with a previous REALTOR.”

“After an unsuccessful attempt to sell our home with a previous company, we decided to have Rick Cenaiko represent us. He showed us an impressive marketing strategy and we felt comfortable with his professional attitude. Rick was in constant contact with us, keeping us informed and up to date with the marketing results. When we met Rick we said, “Just get it SOLD!” and he did, at a time when very few homes were selling. Rick was able to negotiate a fair price for us and terms we were happy with.

Karen’s Testimonial

“Leaving my house for someone to care for and eventually sell was a big decision for me. However, you were so professional in your handling of the situation that what appeared to be a mountain ended up being no cause for worry or concern.”

P Bell
Buyer and Seller

Karen’s Story

“My client got an amazing job opportunity in another province about 3-4 hrs. away by plane. She had a short time to prepare and go.  She needed to sell her home also, not enough time. So, she hired me to sell the house in her absence and turned over the keys. I treated the property like my own, ensured that it was well presented, handled all showings & open houses, and sold the property.  She came back about 2 months later for the closing and to have her furnishings transported to her new province.”

S Lewin

Shelina’s Story

“This process started in August 2019; my client was living in BC. I got him talking to mortgage partner and got him ready by advising him what he needed to do to get prequalified and by December he had followed all the steps head to do. On Jan 2 I started showing him houses and because I listened to him, we found his perfect dream home within days and had purchased it.
