From the very beginning of the transaction, I could tell that you are a very responsible person. You did not just send a message to inform us that the offer was either accepted or rejected. Instead, you called me to confirm that the buyer was serious and would like to move on.
You care about buyers. In your contract package, I was surprised to see a contractor list. It was my first time to see a contractor list in the contract package. You are not just selling a home; you really care about the one who will own the home. Generally speaking, it should be my responsibility. You've done it for me. Thank you! You also put a schedule for the transaction in the package. It was a very useful reminder for me and my client.
Another thing I would like to mention was your closing cost table in the addendum. Sometimes I had difficult experiences discussing the closing costs with listing agents and escrow officers, especially those customized items. Some sellers simply refused to pay the escrow fee, which is customized to be paid by sellers in Santa Clara County. These incidents have caused conflicts between the buyer and seller, and can be quite challenging. In your addendum, I found a very detailed closing cost table. Every item that the buyer should pay was mentioned upfront. It saved a lot of my time and made the deal go smoothly.
It is really a happy experience for me to work with you because you treat me as a partner and friend. I hope I will have the chance to work with you in the near future.
Thank you again for your help, your hard work, and your professional attitude.
Best Regards,
Sara Huang

“In 2008, my wife and I were looking to purchase our first home. We reached out to Bob, provided our wants/needs and price range we were looking to work with. Not only was he able to negotiate the price of the house we wanted down to our price range, but he got the deal closed early. Bob has a wealth of knowledge, is personable and has a great "can-do" attitude. I would recommend his services in a heartbeat!” June 9, 2010

“Bob is a wonderful experienced professional realtor who I have had the honor to work with in the mid 1990's for the same real estate office and as a vendor for him with his real estate transaction for many years. The best way to recommended Bob is to say, beyond a shadow of a doubt; he is one of the best realtors I have worked with in my career. Bob is not only a wonderful realtor, but also a wonderful family man. Bob in my opinion is in the top percentile of his profession. It is an honor to recommended Bob Mackey.” June 8, 2010

“To whom it may concern, It is my sincere pleasure to recommend Bob Mackey to you as a Realtor. Bob listed and sold our home in 2005, during a difficult economic period of time. His integrity, excellent advice, professional manner and personable interaction with potential buyers and other Realtors was very impressive. Bob assured us that we would sell our home quickly, and much to our surprise we had multiple offers and a finalized sale within one week. We have used five other Realtors with real estate transactions both before and after in another state, and I can honestly say that our experience with Bob Mackey was by far the best real estate transaction we've ever had. -Rich Van Winkle” June 8, 2010
