Smith Group in Top 100 for 3rd Quarter!

November 2011

Dear Tim:

Congratulations on an outstanding quarterly performance, one so impressive that it ranks you among NRT Top 100 Teams for the third quarter.

It’s easy to become complacent when confronted by market forces that seem beyond our control. What I admire most about your achievement is that you demonstrated the commitment to service and the professionalism to succeed in spite of a challenging business climate. I truly appreciate your dedication and I’m sure your clients do as well.

As a company, NRT continues to show its strength and execute its vision for the future, thanks in large part to the talent and character of its people. What your team has accomplished this past quarter serves as an inspiration to us all.

With the holidays and year-end just around the corner, I hope you find continued success to close out 2011. Tim, congratulations, and I anticipate the pleasure of recognizing your outstanding performance again in the very near future.

Sincerely

Bruce Zipf
President & CEO
NRT LLC

Cristi was very patient throughout the process, especially since my brother and I are first time buyers. For anyone that is looking for an expert in the unclear waters of the real estate market, Cristi Ulrich is the best you will be able to find in Orange County.”

Cristi Ulrich – Best decision that we could have made!

“I have bought and sold 5 properties in the past 25 years. Without a doubt Cristi was by far the best agent that I have had the luck to use. Never a day off, she worked around the clock to get the deal done, including the holidays. To be very frank, without Cristi’s help and local knowledge and connections with the banks, inspectors and other realtors, the sale of our home most likely would not have occurred. Do yourself a favor and get more than your money’s worth and choose to have Cristi on your team. Best decision that we could have made. ”

Working with Annika Godfrey was a complete breeze!

Working with Annika was a complete breeze.  She was so dedicated and easy to work with!  When I first contacted her, we had less than two months left on our short-term lease and were anxious to purchase a home before our lease was up.  Though I was skeptical, she was confident that we could find a place and close the deal within that time frame.  With her help and guidance, we did.   Throughout the process, she was respectful of our price range, very quickly understood our needs and desires, and kept everything on track.  I would wholeheartedly and gladly recommend her to family and friends.
We are loving our home!  Thank you, again, for your hard work in making this happen for us.

Mary Amen has recommended Cristi Ulrich on LinkedIn!

Mary Amen, LUTCF, CLU, MDRT has endorsed your work as The Smith Group at Coldwell Banker Previews International.
Dear Cristi,
I’ve written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users.
Cristi Ulrich, MBA is the finest Realtor that I have ever worked with. She finds ways to make the deal happen, period! Cristi has spent endless hours researching the right properties and appreciates our time with efficient showings. Cristi has vigorously represented me as a buyer on 4 properties and as the seller for my primary residence. There is no other Realtor that I trust more than Cristi when it comes to my best interests. She has also been amazing in finding properties for several clients and two of my grown children. I love referring her, as she represents me well as the referrer. Thanks Cristi for the 17 years of great service and friendship.

John Yasko Never Flinches: Buyers of 11650 Allen Tustin, CA

November 11, 2011

To whom it may concern:

My wife and I are knowingly very difficult clients.  We changed our location preferences, budget, and pretty much everything else through an 8 month search process.  Our agent, John Yasko, never flinched; he was upbeat and positive the entire way.  Any amount of frustration or annoyance he had was well hid.  He made us feel comfortable throughout the process.  I would recommend John to anyone and everyone and I will definately use him for any of my future real estate needs.

Go Smith Group!

1st Annual Notable Kitchen Tour and Chef Showcase

November 4, 2011

Dear Tim,

The Sound of Music is celebrating the success of the 1st annual Notable Kitchen Tour and Chef Showcase.  Needless to say, without your support the event would not have been such a huge success.

As the event chair, I am very aware of the many finite details it took to create an unparalleled experience for the guests.  I sincerely thank you for sharing your time and resources and working with me to present an event that has been touted by the press as “amazing”.  You can view photos from the event by visiting-www.scfta-som.org/photo album/photo gallery.

I am certain this is just the beginning of a long and mutually beneficial friendship.  I look forward to partnering with you in the future as the Notable Kitchen Tour and Chef Showcase becomes a favorite on Orange County’s social calendar.

Best Regards,

Patty Lance

Attention all Potential Clients of the Smith Group

August 8, 2011

To Potential Clients of the Smith Group,

Having just completed the sale of our home with the Smith Group, we feel the need to write a letter to
those interviewing Tim Smith and his team and give the highest recommendation possible! Tim and his
team sold our house in one of the most difficult real estate environments that I can remember. We
were very anxious about our ability to sell the home given the number of other similar homes on the
market and the difficulty to find qualified buyers. Tim and his group didn’t just sell our home, they sold
it in less than 60 days and for an excellent price – and months later the other homes are still on the
market and still lowering their prices!

We were more than pleased with the service and support Tim and his group gave us from the initial
meeting to escrow close – and even thereafter! Tim arranged to have a professional walk through the
house with us and consult on how to make it look as good as possible to potential buyers. The pictures
and marketing brochures/advertising were nothing short of stunning. They were then willing to do as
many open houses as possible and they had someone from their office (if not Tim himself) attend every
showing that a buying agent scheduled. In addition, the communication with the office team
(paperwork, scheduling, communication, etc.) was smooth and impressive.

Throughout the process, we really felt that we benefitted greatly from Tim and his group’s experience.
During the negotiating period and during escrow, we felt like we received appropriate guidance as to
how to be flexible in some items and very firm on others. In short, he and his group made the entire
process amazing.

We absolutely recommend that you HIREthe Smith Group for any of your real estate needs! You are
welcome to contact us with any questions.
