To Whom It May Concern:

It is with great pleasure to write a reference for Tim Smith. He co-listed one of our luxury custom homes in Shady Canyon with Chris Valli. Throughout the entire process he paid a lot of personal attention to the property and he held Open Houses every weekend. While at the Open House and in our discussions he was always enthusiastic about the house and truly seemed to love the area that he represented as a realtor. Not only did Tim offer personal attention to the home, but his professional expertise about the market and current sales in the area helped develop a successful strategy to best sell our property.

I am sure that whoever hires him to be their realtor will find him a hard worker as well as a pleasant person.

Sincerely,

To Whom It Will Concern:

We had the fortunate opportunity to work with Tim Smith of Coldwell Banker Previews International. Although we are in one of the most difficult real estate markets in recent history, Tim got our house sold. I wish I could say it was an easy transaction but it wasn’t. Tim and his group had the ability to handle the transaction competently which was an integral part of getting the deal complete. He smoothed out all of the wrinkles that seemed to keep showing up throughout the transaction and kept the deal on track. After what seemed to be a difficult process we successfully closed at an acceptable price, but most importantly all parties involved were happy with the deal. We will continue to use Tim Smith in all of our real estate transactions and are committed to referring him to buyers and sellers we know entering the market. In a difficult market it becomes apparent that the agent you choose to work with makes all the difference in selling homes. Tim Smith knows how to sell homes.

Sincerely,

Dear Tim,

We wanted to express our appreciation for your guidance and thorough follow-through during our search and purchase of our home in Newport Coast. Being new to the area, we needed someone to help guide us through the area and the process, and you delivered.

As you know, we were considering both lease-then-purchase or immediate purchase options. You were helpful in preserving both options and allowed us the latitude to make the decision that was right for us. During the tight timelines we were working under, you arranged and re-arranged your schedule to be available to meet our schedule. You understood both our needs and desires in a family home and helped to narrow down the choices of neighborhoods and homes to those that really worked for us. During negotiation, you provided salient advice and guidance that was helpful in coming up with a mutually workable solution. Throughout the closing process, you kept us informed of progress and helped to make appropriate arrangements, always in consultation with us. After the closing, you kept up with answers to questions that we had as we moved and settled down in our new home.

We are very happy with our new home. We are also very happy with the journey we went through with you and appreciate the close collaboration and care. Even our youngest daughter who is a very tough customer in warming up to new people warmed up to you and asked about you when we were at our home during the closing process. Please feel free to pass on our positive experience to our future customers.

Best Regards,
The Yang Family

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express how satisfied and grateful we are with Tim Smith and his associates. Throughout our entire process Tim was very professional, conscientious, polite and motivated. We never felt as though we were pushed into anything we did not feel comfortable with. Tim has a great quality most agents don’t have and that is patience. He goes over and beyond with making sure you are making the right decision and not getting into something you know you will regret in the long run. We always felt as though we were his only client.

Before meeting Tim we met with many agents, some of them had very little experience and some with several years of experience. In our first meeting with Tim we felt very comfortable and as though we had known him for a very long time. Before even viewing the house Tim took us on a little tour around the area which we were very impressed at his knowledge and experience. Although we looked at the home that we eventually ended up buying, we decided we wanted to still explore all the different options that the area had. We started setting up appointments to view the homes. Again, Tim NEVER pushed us to make a decision. It took almost a year for us to finally make a decision which brought us back to where we had started.

We were now ready to make a deal on the house. We met with the sellers and started negotiations with them. The process took at least 3 months to complete. In finalizing the deal, Tim was very helpful and detailed in making sure all the requirements were met and all that needed to be done was/would be done. The whole experience was very exciting, fun and most of all not stressful at all, as Tim himself made you feel very comfortable.

We highly recommend Tim Smith and The Smith Group to anyone looking for a highly effective and reliable real estate agent. Tim is very lucky to have a great assistant Emily Do to work by his side. She is on top of things and extremely friendly and polite. Very gracious young lady.

Again thank you very much for your personal attention and going over and beyond the expected to assist us.

Tim,

We are pleased to write a letter of reference you and your team. At a time when California real estate was in a bad market and interest rates/loans were being squeezed, we felt fortunate to have your tenacity and creativity working for us! Your deep understanding of the real estate and economic situation positioned us to sell our Shady Canyon home in less than three months even though we listed the day after “the meltdown”. You kept people coming through the door and made the sale happen.

We are also grateful to your team for making the “move” process easier. They made themselves available to maximize open house and showing opportunities as well as for inspections and repair appointments and the occasional hand-holding that we all need as we move on.

We can’t thank you enough.

Sincerely,
The Goldsberry’s
