Hello! Wanted to thank you guys in the selling of my house. Joe was the best and I'm going to recommend him to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling. Everything he said would happen did so just as he said. From the price outline to the sale timeline he was right on the money. Plus he's a really nice guy who even called me from Disneyland one time. This was my first sale and he made it easy and stress free for me. I probably had silly questions but he worked with me to get everything together. No pushiness either. Thanks again! Vince Meehan   To Whom it May Concern: I recently moved to San Diego from San Jose and I worked with Ann DeCrescenzo to purchase a 3 bedroom condominium in the Scripps Ranch area. Ann did a truly outstanding job helping me purchase my new home. My schedule forced me to travel to San Diego only on weekends, and Ann was always able to work within these constraints. Ann was always well prepared and ready to show properties while I was in San Diego. Ann provided me with valuable information about the local market conditions so that I was able to provide a winning offer with minimum negotiation. I am extremely pleased witht he price that I paid and the property value I received. Ann handled a lot of small details that I would have expected to handle myself during the purchase. Based on her professionalism and attention to detail I was completely confident in her ability to handle these items, and glad that I chose her as my realtor. She made the entire home buying process easy because of her experience and willingness to manage all facets of the transaction. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for an experienced realtor in San Diego, and I would definitely work with her again in the future if the need arose. Sincerely, Steven E. Howell   Dear Joe "Cal" and Team, We want to thank each of you for all your hard work, patience, understanding and help during the showing and sale of Brookshire Street. We are fortunate that we had such a great team working for us--the kind that went the extra mile. We hope you will have a happy and healthy New Year! Thanks again for everything, Ben & Sally Velasco   Dear Joe Cal and Team, The last 26 months sure have gone by fast, it seems like yesterday that Mary and I sat down with you and came up with a strategy to buy some rental property, rent it and then sell it when the value increased. You identified and advised us on the type of real estate to purchase, how to get the appropriate financing and suggestions on renting. During the last 27 months we held to that strategy and have completed 5 real estate transactions that have financially rewarded us handsomely. Not many people realized what goes on behind the scenes is so important and is crucial to the success in investing in real estate; we are specifically referring to Bonnie Senter and Annie DeCrescenzo, the rest of your team. Mary and I want to thank you and your team again for your guidance and personal attention that you again have so willingly provided to us. Our only regret is that we recently moved from San Diego and won't see you as much as before. Sincerely, Bob & Mary Stetson   Dear Joe and the Joe 'Cal' Team, The purpose of this letter is to formally announce our appreciation for helping us sell our home in such a timely and professinal manner. We also write so that you may share our story with others. Our family was in a dire financial situation with a pending foreclosure awaiting us if we did not sell our home quickly. We initially hired a different realtor to sell our home who only used up a month of our precious time with no results. We were frustrated when we called Joe and really needed someone who would take selling our house as seriously as we did. Joe and his team were confident in saying that they could help us in getting our home sold rapidly which inspired our confidence in getting that to happen. We followed exactly what Joe recommended we do to get the job done and to our amazement we had three offers in one week and another after we were in escrow. Joe and his team have totally demonstrated a thorough knowledge, expertise and professionalism in real estate transactions and we would highly recommend them to anyone who desires this kind of support and results. Thanks again to a job well done, we really needed it! Sincerely, Mark Briseno and Marilu Briseno Dear Joe and Team, With a very short time to sell my home and also to receive a particular value I went to Joe Cal, as he has listed and sold may properties in our area. It was a great choice, not only was the home sold in a short time, but at the price I requested. We would recommend Joe and his staff to anyone. Thanks Joe. Yours, Jim & Jan Janette   Dear Annie & Team, I apapreciate your work on the sale and my purchase of the Atlas house. Sincerely, Sheila Alberts   To Whom It May Concern: This was our first experience selling a house and we had no idea what to expect. In our particular case, we had to sell quickly in order to qualify for our new home, and Joe Cal helped us accomplish that in every possible way. He was immediately available whenever we needed him, he made signing all the paperwork a breeze and he helped us figure out all the twists and turns that go with buying and selling at the same time. We really appreciated the fact that he willingly acted as a liaison between us and the salespeople for our new home, even though that wasn't specifically part of his job. It helped save our sanity. Without question, we would highly recommend Joe Cal to anyone needing a Realtor. We wish the best of luck to him, always. Michelle and Shane Hensley 9249 Irvington Dear Joe: The purpose of this letter is to thank you for your hard work and great success in selling my parents' home recently. Both my brothers and I were very happy with the end result. While I recognize that this sale was and unusually complicated one, it became obvious to us very early on that you were the right sales person for the job. With three children selling their parent's home, you had to deal with input and perspective on the sale from all of us. You were very professional, diplomatic and understanding during this process. Even when the process became more complicated by the need for negotiations amongst us siblings, you were the perfect mediator. With respect to the sale of the house itself, you knew your market well. The house sold for more than we expected an in a very short period of time. We are very pleased with the new buyers and believe that our parents' home will be well taken care of. In closing, when I am ready to sell my current home, you will be the agent we call. Thanks again and take care! Sincerely, Nancy P. Johnson To Whom It May Concern: We would just like to take this opportunity to tell you about the honest and hardworking real estate agent that helped put our home on the market. Joe "Cal" of RE/MAX helped us sell our home with speed, efficiency and ease. Working with Joe "Cal" was such a pleasure. He was always there for any questions we had. It was wonderful doing business with Joe and we highly recommend him to all our family and friends. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Argallon Dear Joe and Associates, Recently Mary and I decided to purchase a condominium as an investment and contacted Joe Cal for advise and services. He and his team of associates assisted and guided us every step of the way, including selecting a suitable property for our investment purpose. A few years ago Joe sold some property for in Clairemont and we were very pleased in the short time it took and the manner of the sale. He took care of all the details and held our hand throughout the entire process. I first met Joe in the 80's when he was new to the real estate business. After meeting him for the first time he left me with this lasting impression, here was an honest hard working young man that was pleasant to all he met and determined to learn the real estate business inside out and you know what - he did. This was again realized by both of us during the search for an investment property, the advise and help he gave us through to the close of escrow. Joe Cal and Team are the professionals of this business. Looking forward to the next time that we need you. Thanks Joe. Sincerely, Bob & Mary Stetson Dear Joe and Jennifer: I know it has been some months since you both assisted my wife and me in purchasing a new home and selling our prior home. As I am sure you know, moving takes its toll and we certainly are not yet completely moved into our new home. While recently unpacking (I know it's been over 6 months!), I came across a letter from you thanking us for choosing the Joe "Cal" team, provided to us in this regard. When purchasing our prior home, the experience with our broker was less than desirable. I can say with utmost confidence that the experience with both of you in our latest purchase and sale was more pleasant then anything for which we could have hoped. Both of you were a tremendous asset and if I had an option to do it all over again, I would not change a thing. To date we have recommended both of you to several friends and family interested in purchasing a new home or selling their existing residence. We can only hope that you are both still in the business when we decide to purchase a new home and/or sell or existing home. We would love to utilize your services again in the future. Once again, thank you both. Sincerely, James and Tricia McCormick Dear Joe, Thank you for making my first home buying experience a success. You and Jennifer took the time and effort to get to know my unique buying situation. Furthermore, you were always available when I had a question or a panic attack. The fact that you called me from your honeymoon to calm my nerves demonstrates you dedication to you profession. You came with high recommendation to me and I pass that same recommendation on to prospective home sellers and buyers. Once again, thank you for being honest, dependable, straightforward, and friendly. Your integrity coupled with an excellent sense of humor made our working relationship a joy. I look forward to working with you in the future. Sincerely, Lila Murphy A Letter of Appreciation: Our thanks to Joe and his staff in a quick sale of my parents' home. We received excellent service at the time we needed it most, after the loss of my Mother. We left the state and all was taken care of. A special thanks also to Bonnie. Norma Willard Daughter of George and June Wait Dear Joe "Cal": We wish to commend you for the great job you did in handling the sale of our home. You took time to explain the whole process to us and answered our many questions. We liked your courteous and friendly attitude from your initial visit to the closing of escrow. We knew from the way you explained how a sale is handled that we could have confidence in your honesty and ability. You ironed out the many problems that arose between buyer and seller thus relieving us of possible unpleasantness. Best of all, you managed to get top price for our home which must have involved several sessions with the lender in order to convince them that the condition and features of the property merited the top bid. We will be most happy to recommend your services to anyone who is planning to buy or sell a home. You did an outstanding job for us. Sincerely, Charles and Miriam Witherspoon From: Adam, Kathleen and Samantha Breede To: Joe Cal Team and RE/MAX Associates Subject: LETTER OF APPRECIATION 1. The following were observations I made while working with the "Joe Cal Team" of RE/MAX Associates. - Sold my home and closed on a new one in roughly three weeks. - Every member of the Joe Cal Team was very professional and were willing to, and in many occasions, did go above and beyond for me and my family. - Always kept us informed of where we were in the buying and selling process, eliminating "surprises" and other time consuming and delay issues. - Any contractors or other service personnel recommended by Joe were speedy and thorough. - Always found time to address my concerns, never too busy. - Bottom line....... Joe always looked out for our best interest. 2. I am pleased for the opportunity to afford my strongest personal recommendation to the "Joe Cal Team" (Joe, Jennifer, and Bonnie) to anyone desiring ANY real estate endeavor. It is no wonder RE/MAX Associates has been San Diego County's Real Estate Leader for over 15 years.
