Testimonial By Alan H.     29 Mar/09

 When Farrell Magnusson asked me if I would be willing to write a testimonial as to how she handled the sale of the house that my son and I co-own, I agreed immediately. Then I thought I don’t know Farrell all that well. Am I the right person to write a testimonial?

 That’s when the light bulb shone brightly! Do any of us really want to become bosom buddies with our realtor? What we want is knowledgeable and courteous service provided in a timely manner – and that is exactly what my son and I received from Farrell.

 I first met Farrell on 28 Feb/09 when I went up to Shawnigan to put my son’s house up for sale. She explained why she thought our house would sell at the price she suggested (she priced it among many houses in the area that were either for sale or had sold recently) and then talked about likely buyers, even though our house was not yet listed. Farrell displayed a fantastic knowledge of both the formal and informal selling and buying networks.

 My son’s house was listed for sale on 1 March. He received an offer on 4 March (from someone who Farrell thought might be interested), and after a counter-offer and a renewed offer, both seller and buyer agreed on price the next day. A satisfactory house inspection took place on 6 March, and financing was approved the following week.

 On 1 April, exactly one month after Farrell put my son’s house on the market, the buyer will take possession. You can’t get a neater deal than that – and the credit goes to Farrell Magnusson! She was worth every penny of her commission.

 Thank you so much for all that you have done for our daughter.  She trusted you and respected your suggestions and your honesty. You worked so hard on her behalf, and it was much appreciated.  We are happy that she had you as her Agent.  Because of the distance and the time difference, our correspondence wasn't always easy.  But you were always diligent about making sure that we knew exactly what was happening.
Again, we thank you for everything.

Chris and I would like to thank you for helping us purchase our first home.  When we found out that we were expecting our first chid, we wanted to search for the perfect home and a neighbourhood to raise our family.  Your attention to detail, and always professional ways helped us find, and purchase our first home within one week's time.  We both agree that your true concern was with our best interests.  All of your time and effort helping set up inspections, taking us through the paperwork, advising on legal issues, and move-in day's surprises, alleviated our worries knowing that we were in honest and trustworthy hands.  This allowed us to not only plan for the baby, but plan for our wedding as well.  Once again, thank you for all your effort.  We will gladly pass on your name to future clients, as we know they will be sincerely looked after.  We look forward to working with you in the future.
