To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to recommend Trisha Bonnell to be your realtor. I secured the services of Trisha to sell my home in Ahwatukee Custom Estates in the summer of 2007. We were clearly in a buyer’s market with prices holding flat to down. Clearly a difficult time to be selling a million dollar home. With Trisha’s professionalism and positive work ethic I managed to have a contract on my home 69 days after listing and ultimately closed with a selling price greater than I had initially hoped for.

 I interviewed 4 realtors before selecting Trisha. The primary reason I ultimately selected her was her professional appearance and conduct, as well as the fact that she was the only realtor of all interviewed that was clearly excited about my home. While most realtors gave me a long list of problems that needed fixing or would negatively impact the selling price, Trisha gave me a long list of what was right about my home. As a result this helped me set an initial selling price well above what I had initially planned on. Throughout the whole process of showings and open houses, she continued to remain very professional, readily available and clearly energized about selling my home.

After the initial offer and through-out the inspection and contract negotiations process, things became rather difficult with the buyers. Trisha took on the full brunt of the issues and worked every detail to my advantage. She also pulled me from the verge of canceling the whole deal more than once. If she had not been there as a buffer between me and the buyers, I am sure I would have lost this deal and not sold my home.

After the close, she also continued to solve problems for me by helping out with the move and even storing some of my belongings (and pets) through a long transition to my new home, which was under construction.

I highly recommend Trisha Bonnell as a very level headed, professional and dedicated realtor that will definitely understand and represent your needs in any transaction.

Dear Jeff:
 
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all that you have done for us over the last several months in regard to the sale of our father's condominium in Mesa, Arizona.
 
As you recall, my father had fallen several times in  his condo and was forced to move to a nursing home.  After some investigation it was determined that the title to the condo had been placed in my name and the names of my four sisters.
At that point it was our responsibility to clean out the condo, get it ready for sale and hire a realtor.  Since I live in Florida and my sisters live in Minnesota and Oregon, we did not know any realtors in Mesa.   Basically, my father hired you for us and with some trepidation we went along with his request.
 
From our very first meeting, when you presented us with a "book" of information about the condominium development, the surrounding area, comparable sales, etc.  I knew you were exactly the realtor we would have hired.  Your presentation that evening was very well done and it was obvious that you had put a great deal of time and thought into the project.  Your honesty and enthusiasm were very refreshing and somehow I immediately knew that I could trust you to help us get this property sold. 
 
Shortly thereafter, you helped us find a painter, a flooring company, heating and air conditioning contractors and even made suggestions about what else needed to be updated or replaced to make the condo more marketable.   As I recall, you even helped us move some furniture!
 
Due to the fact that we all live out of state, we were forced to depend on you for so many things, for example: checking on the painter, fixing the garbage disposal, seeing that the cleaning people did their job, etc.  So often you went out of your way to help us get this property on the market.  We realize that everything that you did for us was above and beyond the scope of your responsibility as our realtor.
 
Three of my sisters and I are all employed in the real estate industry.  We all know how slow the housing market is right now.  Your marketing strategy and advice regarding pricing the property to sell were all right on the mark.  It is due to your efforts that this property is now sold!  You have more than earned your commission on this one.  In fact, this is one bill we will be more than happy to pay! 
 
Jeff, we can never thank you enough for all that you did to help us.  Please know how much your honesty and integrity has meant to us thought-out this process.  Working long distance, I truly don't know how we would have gotten this property sold without your help.  You are simply, the best!
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Candace J. Larkin

I must say that Trisha Bonnell has done an outstanding job with last three of my real estate transactions. She sold a home for me at the Pointe at South Mountain quickly, efficiently and profitably. She helped me find and purchase the beautiful Ahwatukee home that I am in now . . . a home that I love so much that I cannot imagine ever leaving it. And, she helped me find and acquire an excellent plot of raw land that I intend to hold for investment purposes. She was professional, creative and very helpful throughout every opportunity. I would not explore another Arizona real estate opportunity without involving Trisha. I trust her implicitly.

We wanted to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to your firm and acknowledge the services of Trisha Bonnell. We recently completed the sale of our home after listing it with Trisha. She matched us with a motivated buyer, working within our asking price range and closed the deal within less than a week. She kept us informed along the way with regard to timelines and the process of the transaction. She was able to coordinate all services necessary at our convenience from the showing of the home, appraisal, home inspection, to the closing. Trisha made herself available to us for any questions that we had along the way and she was only a quick phone call away.

We feel that Trisha represented both sides, buyer and seller, fairly and effectively. She demonstrated a high level of professionalism and we would recommend her services to future buyers or sellers. We wish her continued success and feel that she is an asset to any firm.

     Re:  Professional Recommendation


Dear Trisha,


 It is with great pleasure that a write this letter to recommend your professional services as a Real Estate Agent.


 As you know, you listed my home during a time when the market was down (2007).  You gave great suggestions on how to prepare the home for sale.  Your follow up on every person who visited the home was impressive.  I felt as if I was your only client, and always had up to date information on what potential buyers thought of my property.  You never gave up!!!!!   Even when I had decided that I may have to rent instead of selling, you continued to work hard. 


 Your hard work ended with a contract on my house.  You convinced me to have “just one more open house”.  I thought it was a waste of your time, but you said “we cannot give up”.  Once the contract was in place, you followed up weekly with the selling broker and the mortgage company to make sure everything was still on track.  We closed as planned, with no surprises, thanks to your constant follow up.


 I would recommend you and your team to anybody looking for a professional, hard working, well trained Real Estate professional.  Please feel free to have anybody looking for references to call me directly at (602) 722-7364.


Thank you for making the process of selling my home a pleasant experience.

      Sincerely,


      Debra J. Goodwin

Trisha,
Now that I'm in, I wanted to say thank you for everything.  You really made me feel like I was your only customer, and that meant a lot.  You did stuff for me that my dad said he'd never seen a realtor do, and he's been working with home closings for 30 years.  You made it seem like that's what every realtor should do, and I wanted you to know that I think you really went the extra mile to help me get in my first house.  If I ever sell and look out here again, I'm definitely calling you.  If I hear about anybody looking, I'll recommend you.  Hell, I'm going to try to talk people into getting in touch with you even if they're not looking.  Thanks again for everything.
 
Best regards,
