GREAT JOB SELLING OUR HOME IN SURPRISE

GREAT JOB!

John and I want to tell you (and everyone else) how much we appreciate your service to us regarding the sale and purchase of our home.

Because we were out of state for the sale, we feel you went above and beyond the call of duty as a Realtor to make certain that the sale was completed in a timely fashion, that our furniture was moved and stored by a reputable service and even found a buyer for the furniture that we wished to sell.  Great job!

When we began to look for a home, we gave you a list of exactly what we wanted and the price we wanted to pay, and you found that exact home for us in just a matter of days.  You even put us in touch with a mortgage broker who was able to work with the financing to our satisfaction.

You can be sure that we will recommend your services to any and all when we have the opportunity to do so.  Thanks again, Carol for your efficiency.

NEED A REALTOR? CAROL SOLD OUR HOME IN ARROWHEAD RANCH

Need a Realtor?

So, you are looking to buy or sell a house?  You need a realtor?

Have you checked with Carol Asnen?  We first worked with Carol when she represented a buyer when we were selling our house.  We were so impressed and taken by Carol and her work that when it was time to sell again, we immediately thought of Carol.

We found Carol to be an asset during the entire process.  She was very professional and strived for only the best for us.  She was generous and caring, treating us like family and going out of her to help in any way that she could.  Carol was knowledgeable and familiar with the market.  She worked with us at every step:  preparing and pricing the house, marketing and showing the house, countering and negotiating with offers, closing and moving out.  Carol was there at every step.  We would highly recommend, without hesitation, Carol Asnen to help you with your buying and selling needs.

CAROL SOLD MY HOME IN GLENDALE IN JUST FOUR DAYS

July 10, 2006

To whom it may concern,
Having recently completed the sale of my home, I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the outstanding work done by Carol Asnen of Century 21 as my realtor in this effort There are a number of reasons why I would unreservedly recommend Carol to anyone buying or selling a home; here are three of them.

Before selecting Carol as my realtor, I interviewed a number of realtors from several well known realty companies. Carol was by far the best prepared, with more information than any of the others; the information was also more relevant. The suggested selling prices varied by over $100,000 amongst the realtors, with Carol having the highest suggestion by more than $50,000 over the next highest. This was more than I thought was realistic, but Carol provided information that indicated her recommended asking prices was reasonable. Based on the above, I decided to go with Carol.

On the very day that I was to sign the contract with Carol to put my house on the market, the housing market in Phoenix took a large downturn from the seller’s standpoint. If we had put the house on the market in the usual manner, it would have been very difficult to sell it without lowering the asking price $50,000 or more. I was ready to put my plans to sell on hold for months or a year to await better selling conditions. Carol thought that it would be possible to sell at the price we had originally settled on by using a somewhat non-traditional marketing approach. She stood her ground and insisted that the original asking price was still attainable. She also demonstrated to me that there was no downside to trying it so we decided to give it a go. One month later we had the first open house. Four days later I had an offer for the house for the original price, in spite of the downturn in the market for sellers!

Finally, Carol has performed in a completely professional manner in all aspects of this effort. She has performed all of the necessary paperwork and follow-ups in a timely manner and with great effectiveness. She explained everything to me in all necessary detail about the process of selling a house and provided much good advice.

There is no doubt in my mind that if I had tried to sell my house myself or used a different realtor, it would have taken months or a year longer to do it, or I would have had to settle for a price at least $50,000 less than I got; most likely both would have occurred. In Carol Asnen, Century 21 Metro Alliance has a truly outstanding representative. I say again that anyone would be well advised to employ her as a realtor.

INDIAN SPRINGS IN GLENDALE - SOLD IN TWO WEEKS

We called Carol Asnen because she sold our neighbor's home four days after the listing came out.  She sold our home two weeks after the listing came out, and for our asking price!

This is a very difficult market if you are a seller, and Carol understands that selling a property requires more than just an MLS listing and a sign in front of the house.  First thing she did was prepare a detailed market analysis in order to set the selling price correctly.  Then she walked the house with us to decide what furnishings/accessories we needed to add or remove to show off the best features of the house.  Carol furnished items we needed to add, and then staged the house and patio.  Next thing she did was film a "visual tour" of the inside and outside of the house, and placed the file on several websites.  She also made individual CD copies of the file to hand out to Open House visitors and to mail to prospects.  She placed advertisements with color pictures in real estates magazines as well as the Arizona Republic.  She scheduled Open House events on the weekends.  And she worked the phones.  That is aggressive, and that is what it takes.

As well as being extremely focused and aggressive, Carol is funny, ethical, realistic, and very caring.  We have enjoyed working with her and would recommend her services to anyone.
