It is with great excitement that I am able to write this letter of recommendation for our realtor, Steve Cardinalli.

My husband and I were in the market to find a real estate agent to help us sell our home in Stockton, CA. We received several calls back, but only made 4 appointments. The first two appointments were disastrous. The agents did not give us their attention we knew we deserved. They made us feel like we inconvenienced them and had other “urgent” matters to attend to. The 3rd agent was generous and friendly, and could have easily chosen her. However, we then had our appointment with Steve. Steve emulated the friendly, generous, mild manner real estate agent, but also came prepared to discuss current market trends, the “what if” scenarios and had nearly an answer to every question we had. If he didn’t have the answer, he wasn’t afraid to say, “I don’t have it, but I will get it.” And he did! I like people that respond to our needs. He did just that!

We did sell our house, we chose Steve to also help us buy our new home in Tracy. Both transactions were seamless. Steve made it a point to work very hard for us, and didn’t allow us to worry. He made our transactions personal. He took the time out to understand our needs and wants. This was awesome.

We highly recommend Steve Cardinalli for your real estate needs.

First and foremost, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude and thanks for the excellent service you have provided my husband Sal and I with finding a home. You have made a normally stressful situation with buying a house into a fun and exciting experience! Your service went far beyond our expectations and we STILL continue to get great service from you with your wonderful emails with tips for the home. In fact my brother in-law was so impressed, he made a joke about selling his house just to buy one from you!

Your exceptional service is something I rave about here at work to those who are looking or considering purchasing or selling a home. You went well out of your way and spent long hours with us going from home to home until we found “the one”. I would, (and do), recommend you to ANYONE looking for a great realtor. Thank you again Steve for your services. You have made us a very happy family!

I am writing you this letter on behalf of Steve Cardinalli, the REALTOR® you are considering working with. I think it would be appropriate if you knew a little bit more about him from someone who has worked with him in the past.

In December of 2002, I decided to look for a home, and I discovered Steve’s website on the Internet. He responded quickly to my online inquiries, and I agreed to allow him to represent me in my home purchase. I had never purchased a home before, and I was not sure what to expect, but Steve went out of his way to make the process as painless as possible. He kept me informed every step of the way, including answering questions that seem simple now, but were unclear to me at the time. My goal then was to move quickly to take advantage of the buyer’s market, he was right there with me. I had more homes than I knew what to do with right from the beginning, and as we narrowed down the selection, I was impressed with Steve’s ability to coordinate home visits with my schedule and his ability to find homes that fit my needs. I closed escrow on my first home in February 2003.

I have recommended Steve to numerous future homeowners, and I am recommending his services to you now. You will find that Steve is joy to work with, that his schedule is flexible, he puts in the hours to make sure you get what you want, and he goes out of his way to make sure you are absolutely satisfied with everything before making the commitment to buy a home.

If you have any questions about Steve’s customer service in general, or about my home buying experience in particular, please feel free to contact me at the above listed number, and I will be happy to discuss it with you.
