A Letter From First Time Home Buyer Deborah Arnold

December 7, 2009

Hi Rick,

My apologies for taking so long to thank you for all you’ve done to help me make a long time dream come true.

I’m sure I told you that in the past I was told by realtors, banks and loan officers that I would never qualify by myself for my own home. I actually let go of that dream until this year when interest rates dropped and I still wasn’t too sure about pursuing it again.

I knew I looked good on paper but I wasn’t sure about the process, who would be the person that would help me understand and someone I would be comfortable with. I was searching one day for information on the internet and found you site for a FREE 1st time buyers seminar - which was exactly what I needed because the idea of buying a home was uncomfortable and scary for me. Your seminar was very clear and encouraging. The brochure you sent me and handed out at the seminar was a tremendous help. I learned what to expect and what certain words meant. I also liked that you made yourself available for any questions and guidance. There are not many things on the internet these days that you can put your trust in but I found your site and you to be exactly what I needed.

I appreciate your patience, your encouragement when I was frustrated, and your gentle push that helped me continue when it seemed nothing was opening up for me. You always said when things do start happening that they would happen very fast and boy was that the truth.

I am living one of my dreams and I have been in my new house for a little over a month. I think I told you I caught the flu and even the flu was great in my house. Cooking, cleaning, football games oh heck, everything is so wonderful being a home owner. My first mortgage is great and I’m happy to be paying on something that is mine.

I am truly blessed to have found you by accident, but we all know most things are actually meant to happen.

You even made my sister and nephews from the east coast feel comfortable and gave them the assurance that I was in good hands. That meant a lot to me.

And don’t forget we had fun! LOL

I’ll be inviting you over soon, I even put up Christmas lights which I haven’t done that since my daughter was a little girl.

I hope we’ll always be friends. I hope a lot more home shoppers find their way to you.

God Bless You!

Living the dream,

Deborah Arnold

Dear Rick:

We truly value all the exceptional work you put in helping us to locate, and purchase a home, as well as, making the sale of our former home a pleasant experience in a rough market time.

While paying attention to what we asked for, your advice was truly remarkable with honesty and thoughtfulness. We are extremely impressed with your degree of professionalism, and your friendly nature to our pets.

We will highly recommend you to anyone who wants to sell or buy a home.

Best regards,

A Letter From Jim and Colleen Lennon

November 4, 2009

Dear Rick,

Working with you as our agent was not only a pleasure, but also an education in today’s most difficult real estate arena. Your availability and patience made us feel confident to say the least, and we want to thank you for your professionalism in representing us.

Your ability to “go outside the box” netted us the home of our dreams. Location, we had told you, was our #1 priority and you were able to achieve that for us when you found our house-because you were aware and informed of the neighborhoods. In addition, we found it very pleasant to work with you because your attitude was always upbeat and refreshing.

During the competitive negotiations your perseverence led to our successful offer. When it looked like we were out of the bidding, you continued to represent our interests by immediately putting our offer in a solid back up position, which led to our eventual success in obtaining the house.

The advantage of working with informed and knowledgeable people such as you is always beneficial. We also saw how dependably and diligently you worked. Your constant effort and steady application of real estate principles and guidelines during the purchasing of our house showed you cared and wanted the best outcome for us. We so appreciated that!

The house you found us in the neighborhood we love is now home sweet home . . . please feel free to use us as a reference anytime.

Sincerely,

Jim and Colleen Lennon"

The Paradis Experience

May 5, 2009

In a persons lifetime it is said that the one most major purchase we will probably make is that of a home. My husband and I have so far made three of those major purchases. In our first two we were pretty much flying by the seat of our pants, and just doing what our realtor said to do. We looked at homes the Realtor suggested, in areas she suggested, and at prices she suggested. We thought that this is how it was done. Then we moved back here to California and were introduced to Rick Tibbitts by a friend. 

Though we did have a family friend that is a realtor, we felt more comfortable with Rick. He listened to what we were looking for, and went way beyond the call of duty to show us homes in a completely different county that he had not previously worked in. He did his homework, and worked quickly at finding us the perfect home. All along the way keeping us up to date and informed on all aspects of our purchase. I feel that in this economy, sellers and buyers both need to be on their game in order to succeed with sales and purchases of their homes. Rick gives you that advantage of superior knowledge in a market that he is very familiar with and commitment to get you what you need.  

Sincerely,  

Rosemary Paradis
