Testimonials for Our Agents
Good
Afternoon, my name is Brenda Dillard, and I have been working with
Linda Jean
Paschal on finding a home in your area. I want you to know how much I
appreciate her and her work ethics. Linda has been exceptional. I'm a very
busy person and hate to have my time wasted and she has NOT wasted my time.
Linda listened to my wishes and did a great job. I also feel the need to express
when an employee or associate is exceptional and I think Linda is truly a great
business associate and a great asset to your operations. I wanted you to
know.
- Brenda Dillard
Cathy
Hinojoza, Thank you for all of your hard work and effort in helping us
find a new home. We had a lot of "issues" and fought through them.
Thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty.
- The Evartts
We would like to
take this opportunity to commend the services provided by
Larry Fry
of your company. While waiting for our out of state home to sell Larry spent
many hours helping me to learn the Dallas/Fort Worth area and showing me many
different homes, even though a purchase was not imminent. When my wife was
able to join me, Larry again spent many hours showing us homes throughout the
area. Being new to the area, we looked at a large number of homes and
neighborhoods before making a purchasing decision. Even after our
purchase, Larry assisted us with various local and state codes and regulations
that we would need to be familiar with, as well as utility providers that we
would need to contact. During this entire time, Larry was always patient
with us, was always available for us, and always displayed a positive attitude.
Those qualities are sometimes lacking in our fast-paced society. We would
like to formally thank Larry for his help and assistance. If Larry is
representation of all of your employees, we can understand why you are one of
the top realty offices in the world.
- Mark and Florence Loop
Tracie
Rainey and
Penny Fleming
you allowed all of our dreams to come true and we appreciate it with all of our
heats. We want to say Thank You.
- Dereak & Erricha Mayfield
Kim
Fleming, Wow! thanks for all your hard work. I look forward
to working with you again. Hopefully, sooner than later. any
business that I can send your way, I will certainly do so.
- Mike & Kim Webb
We
recently sold our home and found exactly what we wanted in a new one with the
help of Nancy
Miller. Nancy went out of her way to work with us, and was
wonderfully patient and helpful throughout the entire process, which we had
never done before. She worked hard to sell our home, keeping up with
prices of homes for sale around us and making suggestions for us so we could
sell our home quicker. We are so glad we used Nancy and will recommend her
and Mike bowman to anyone who asks for the name of a good REALTOR!
- Stephen & Gailanne Smith
This
was one of the most painless and enjoyable experiences we've had.
Dan Wood
did an amazing job selling our house - in a slow market it sold in lass than 2
weeks! We are grateful for his help and friendship.
- Lynn and Joshua Fox
I
don't know who the second-best real estate
agent is, but
Chris Ortegel
is the best! She understood us and helped us find the perfect house. She
is wonderful!
- David and Katie Bowman
I
just got off the phone a client. He had nothing but GREAT things to say
about his sales person and his builder. He went on and on about how great
they have been to him and how DR Horton as a whole has completely exceeded all
of his expectations. He also said how grateful he was that Jay hooked him
up with Mike Bowman's office because
Bafford Howard
(Century 21 Mike Bowman, Inc.) has already had 2 open houses on top of passing
out numerous flyers to help them get their current home sold (and they just
signed a contract).
- Amy Peterson, DR Horton Loan Processor
Dave, THANK YOU
so much for referring us to
Ron May.
He was absolutely WONDERFUL and we couldn't have asked for more. He was so nice
to work with - never once complained when we took him down EVERY country road in
East Texas, was more than willing to take the time to answer any questions we
had, was respectful, professional and we feel went above and beyond what any
REALTOR® has ever done for us. We are so thankful that he was there to help us
find our home. Thanks Again,
- Todd and Amy Block
Tiffany and I
wanted to thank
Dan Wood
for the expert service we received from you and your staff regarding the sale of
our home. We appreciated the accurate information that you provided from the
start. We were able to make an educated decision on where to price our home to
both maximize our profit yet still be able to find a buyer within a matter of
days! Without your expert assistance and outstanding marketing ability, we are
positive that our home would not have sold so quickly. The updates that you
provided during the showing and negotiation stages enable us to relax about the
selling process. We anticipated this to be a long, drawn out process and it
turned out to be a very swift and pleasant experience. Thank you once again,
and we will continue to recommend you and your staff to our friends and family.
- Mark Rondeau
It gives us
immense pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for
Sharon Bateson.
She is organized, efficient, extremely competent, and has an excellent rapport
with people of all ages. Her communication skills, both verbal and written, are
superior. Sharon is a high energy self-starter who quickly assumes
responsibility and is not afraid to face new challenges and situations.
We wish to place on record the consistently brilliant performance of Mrs.
Bateson during our home buying and selling process.
- The Brown Family
Mr.
Bowman, I wanted to tell you how much my family enjoyed working with
Kelly
Kimbrough. Not only did she sell my Aunt's home within one month, she
kept us informed about any changing situation. This communication was very
important to my parents since we live in another city. Kelly's professional and
pleasant demeanor would make a valued asset to any business and I highly
recommend her as an effective REALTOR.
- Cheryl Elder
I
would like to take a second to say that working with
Scott
MacArthur has been wonderful. My husband and appreciate all his
time and effort. it can be a little intimidating buying a home especially
for the first time, Scott has helped us feel comfortable and confident
throughout the whole process. Everything moved quickly and smoothly.
Pass this along to Mr. Bowman so he may know how pleased we are with Scott.
We have already recommended him to others and plan to work with him in the
future.
- Brooke Benham
Both my
husband and I feel that
Sharon Bateson
provided us with exceptional service. We are retired and felt owning our
own home again was just a dream. We saw one of Mrs. Bateson's signs and
something told us to call her. We can honestly say that Sharon went far
beyond the call of duty. We told her what kind of home we were looking for
and she looked until she found it. We love our new home and would
recommend Sharon Bateson as the REALTOR® to call for anyone looking for a home.
I really believe that if it wasn't for Sharon's determination and dedication to
help us and going that extra mile, we would still be in an apartment.
- John & Elaine Burgess
We
were lucky enough to find a person in your organization who subscribed to our
business philosophy -
Ms. Penny
Fleming. It made our recent real estate transaction a memorable and
enjoyable experience. She went the extra mile and became a valuable asset
in the sale of our property, and hopefully a partner in our future real estate
dealings.
- B.J. and Laurie Casson
Carol
Shinsky. Thanks
again for all of your help in helping to close the deal. You are a jewel among
realtors.
- David Johnson
Terry
Tremaine was wonderful from the moment we met. She brought
documentation and valuable information to our meeting so we could competitively
price my house to sell quickly. She provided feedback and wonderful support
from start to finish. Terry truly understands good customer care and excels in
the field of real estate.
- Kim Mascal
We
have sold many times and relocated over the years, but never have we had an
experience as good as this related to a home sale. Everything
Dan Wood
said you could do was done on time, and accurately. We never worried about any
of the details that normally become problematic during listing and showings. I
guess that this is the first time that we got what we wanted on both ends of the
transaction. We have handed your card out to many of our friends and
acquaintances, and will continue to recommend you as “the best” in the area.
Thank you again Dan. If you have a prospective client that wants to talk with
one of your past clients, send them to us.
- Wade and Judi Veeder
This letter
is to compliment
Sharon Bateson
on the outstanding service we received during the sale of our home.
Sharon is an asset to Century 21 Mike Bowman, Inc. She
assisted us in many ways that went far beyond the job of listing and selling our
home. The following are examples of what we are talking about:
- Sharon prepared us ahead of time. She inspected our home and made
excellent recommendations on what repairs need to be done before the house could
be shown to prospective buyers.
- Sharon was always timely and dependable. The frequent updates by
phone were always welcome. Her work was finished on schedule and she kept
everyone else on schedule too.
- Sharon was patient while working with us. Sometimes we were slow
in getting our work done but Sharon never rushed us. We appreciated that.
Assuredly, we will be recommending Sharon to our family, friends
and business associates. In the future, if we decide to buy or sell any property
Sharon will be our REALTOR® of choice.
- James & Mary Orwat
Jessie
Garza, Thanks so much for all your help. there are very few people
that are willing to lend a helping hand as well as share their knowledge of the
business. You are a very special person.
- La Donna
Ray
Martin —just wanted to say thanks for helping us get into our new home.
We are finally almost settled in! You were so gracious and knowledgeable in
the purchase of our home. I appreciate the way you handled the delicate
situation we all found ourselves in. You were professional and supportive and
encouraging. These traits are not usually found in today's business world!
We all appreciate you so much!
- Emily Lopez
Sue
Harvey-Morris recently handled the sale of my 93 year old Mother's home.
Sue handle everything in a professional manner. she was also very kind and
helpful in every way. I would not hesitate toask her to handle any future
home sales or recommend her to anyone else.
- Dorothy Irwin
Linda
Clark is the BEST! You are very, very fortunate to have a person
like Linda. She represents your company exceptionally well, and she has
the highest standards of excellence and professionalism that I have ever had the
pleasure to experience. Thank you for introducing me to Linda, she went
far beyond the call of duty and I don't know how I would have managed without
her involvement in the sale of my property.
- Linda Good
Thanks
again Brandon
Werst, so very much for all your help and kindness. You were fun to shop
with and helped to make our experience of first time home buying an enjoyable
experience! We'd do it again with you in a heartbeat.
- Rita and Mike
Dan Wood,
this is just a quick thank you for your help and professional services in
successfully marketing and the eventual sale of my home. You not only were able
to obtain a two full price offers, but you were willing to save me approximately
$5,240 in commissions. Our first offer came from a buyer that had never
entered the home, they were interested solely from your 74 picture plus virtual
tour! You were, like a pit-bull when it came to negotiations. You saved me
$35,000.00! off of the list price in my brand new home plus you negotiated
closing costs and HOA transfer fees. My family and I are forever grateful for
meeting you and we will always refer you to all of our friends and family.
Thank you so much!
- Brandon and Tiffany Awalt
I
want to thank
Steve Kahn for his outstanding customer service. He truly
represent the Century 21 REALTOR of Choice. It only took his team three
weeks to sell our house which allowed us to
move into a new D.R. Horton home three months ahead of schedule. My wife
and I were very impressed on the number of times Steve's team was able to show
our home. The Century 21 Mike Bowman, Inc. online web access to our
property was extraordinary and reflects his teams true professionalism.
- Roman Elbe
Only
a year after a horrible move from California to Arkansas I was offered a job in
the DFW metroplex Dreading another move my new boss recommended
Tracie Rainey
to help us. From the first moment we spoke we know Tracie had to be the REALTOR
made just for us. She listened patiently to our concerns and needs and
painstakingly combed listings to find only those properties that had the special
conditions we needed. After countless hours of driving us around we found our
home. We would have never found it if it hadn't been for Tracie, she went far
above and beyond. She patiently and honestly answered our billions of "stupid"
questions and now, at the end of our experiece, we have come to feel that Tracie
is part of our family.
- Morris and Kattie Binstein
We
"found"
Kelly Kimbrough through her online marketing, just as we were getting
ready to sell our home. We were immediately impressed with her people skills and
winsome personality. When we found out how well she knew the market on
both the buy and the sell sides we were even more impressed. Even before
the "For Sale" sign was up Kelly had appointments for showings and by the
weekend we had three bonafide offers. She continued to supervise the
process, intervening as necessary, and communicating with us frequently so that
we never wondered where we were in the flow. Kelly continued to "serve"
after the sale and still is now. In summary, Kelly's attractive
personality, knowledge, professionalism, persistence and attention to detail not
only make her an excellent REALTOR, but a good neighbor and valuable member of
the community.
- David Dalton and Ginette Fontaine
I wanted to write to let you know what an asset your business has in
Sue
Harvey-Morris. During the entire process of selling our home, Sue was
outstanding the whole way. She made sacrifices in time and money that I know
most other REALTORS wouldn't make. In our eyes, she is the best. We not only
consider her our lifetime REALTOR but also a friend. With people like Sue, its
on wonder you have the most successful real estate business in the metroplex.
- The McQuien's
Bob
Henderson Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my husband
sell his house. After so many disappointments with other people not
following through, you consistently kept your word to him and went the "extra
mile". We so appreciate of all that you did. We will not hesitate to
recommend you to everyone we know. Thank you so much!
- M. Meyer
Ron
May Thank you for helping make my first home buying experience a
breeze. I appreciate all that you've done for me.
- Brian Henning
I
just wanted to take a minute to compliment our sales agent,
Marvin Hawkins.
He was very knowledgeable about the various DFW area housing opportunities
available to suit our price range and needs, and he was always accommodating t
our travel schedule since we were relocating from Houston and had only limited
time to be in the DFW area. We are very happy with our new house and community,
and would recommend his services to others.
- Stephen & Jill Stover
Chris
Ortegel
was wonderful, as an out-of-state and first-time homebuyers she made the
entire process very easy and enjoyable. She gave us excellent service
throughout the transaction.
- The Madisons
Many
years ago and from time to time I read about Mike Bowman Inc. in the Star
Telegram. At the time, I thought your organization is doing business
right, going somewhere and I would like to be a part of it. I was right,
your team is amazing and I'm glad to be a part of it. I'm still Wow!. .
.after the sale of my home. I'm compelled to recognize business excellence
in those who coordinated the consummation of the sale of my home. My
sincere thanks to all coordinators and especially
Helen Choate
who made this deal memorable. Helen's professional service exemplifies
uncompromising integrity. she demonstrated core business values I find
rewarding. I look forward to working with the Bowman family again.
- Clifford
Phillips
I recently closed on my home in Dallas and wanted
to let you know what an excellent experience I had with
Michael Wilhite representing me as my real
estate agent. Michael never put pressure on me to make a decision, he was
courteous, prompt, professional, and works on holidays. I am a former
REALTOR® myself, and had high expectations, Michael exceeded those expectations
before, during, and after the purchase of my new home. I will refer him to
anyone I know who is looking for an excellent REALTOR®
- Paul Cornuaud.
Steve Kahn,
thank you again for all your help when we flew out to Texas to look at homes.
You showed us some great stuff. You listened to our need and found us our
dream home!
- Jesse & Jennifer
Alison
Polson worked over time to find the perfect house for us. She gave
us encouragement and strength as we went through the purchasing process.
She is honest about what she thinks, her career is her life, and she truly
befriends her clients. I recommend Alison if you are looking to buy or
lease a property. She will work harder that any one I know to make your
experience perfect.
- Veronica Penrod
Just
a note to say how great
Russell Berry was in helping us to sell our home in
Euless in just FIVE days! He was always there to answer our questions and
helped us coordinate the paperwork with our other REALTOR® in Oklahoma.
Kudos to you, Russell.
- Ernest & Maxine Koppe
The
service we received from
Chris Ortegel
and the office was excellent! Chris was very supportive, very
knowledgeable and we felt she had our best interest in mind all the time.
She looked out for us like we were part of the family. We would highly
recommend Chris!
- Mr. & Mrs Gallagher
Helen
Choate, We are so pleased with all of the service and courtesy you
extended to Mother and us. We appreciate all the hard work that was
involved. You made the transaction of selling the house go really well.
Your positive attitude was also very beneficial as Mother was adjusting to
selling her home. Sincere Thanks.
- Mrs. Dorothy Newton & Family
I
just wanted to drop these lines to thank
Tracie Rainey
for helping us sell our home in Sabinas Trail. We also want to thank her
for taking care of solving all those pre-closing house repairs while we were out
of town. Her help and advice were greatly appreciated. We'll be looking
for Tracie when we are ready to buy a new home. Thanks again.
- Gigi and Cesar Heyaime
Helen
Choate, Thanks again for your superior performance. We are very
grateful for all you have done and going the extra mile. You have
represented your company well and have lived up to the reputation of Century 21
Mike Bowman, Inc. Thanks!
- Dennis and Kimberly Beck
Recently
my wife and I decided to sell a home we loved, to move to a larger home.
Through much deliberation and consideration, we chose to use
Dan Wood. Despite
our past experiences we chose Dan because of his character and work ethic.
I truly believe that this is the best decision my wife and I have ever made in
the selling and purchasing of a new home. I pray my wife never wants to
move again but if she does without a doubt Dan will be our agent. Dan
worked tirelessly through all of our concerns great and small and not once did
we feel that we were bothering him or taking up his precious time. I you
have ever sold a home you'll understand that comment. I honestly don't
know were he gets all his energy but he is truly a godsend when it comes to
selling your home. I'd be happy to tell you more about my good experience
with Dan, call me.
- Patrick and Sandra Lindsey
I recently sold my home and am happy to say for a very good price. Our
agent Connie
Carey was informative and directed us in ways we could have never thought of
on our own. Connie called me at least once a week to see if there were any
questions or problems. she also had feed back from agents that had viewed
our home. After two weeks on the market we sold our home. Our buyer
had to have the home in eight days! So it was extremely stressful. Connie
was there for us and had all the answers. Thank goodness we had her to
talk to thru it all. So Mr. Bowman thank You very much for hiring such
qualified agents. Connie you are a blessing!! After our last
experience eighteen years ago (with another company) we said we would never move
again. This time was a much better experience. Even the scheduling
agents were nice and friendly.
- Cathy and Russ Nyborg
Dear
Bandon
Werst:
"We sincerely thank you for everything you have done for us. Our words
can not express our gratitude. You truly are a great REALTOR friend! Thank
you so much from the bottom of our hearts!"
- Brad, Deb & Sammy
I
want to share with you the fact that you have an excellent associate in
Mr.
Ben Davis. He did a wonderful job of preparing my rental property
for sale. He is an amazing, wonderful person!
- Carole Beeler
Thanks
Helen
Choate: "I want to make you aware of the exemplary service
provided by Helen Choate recently. Dealing
with complex family dynamics, highly imperfect properties, dawdling lenders,
and a host of other obstacles, Helen kept the process on track and demonstrated
a consistently positive attitude. Her professionalism and know-how
made the process as smooth and worry-free as possible."
- Jim Lindsey
Thanks
to the Mattinglys: "I
would like to tell you how much we appreciate the kindness of your company
and it's employees. Brian Mattingly was a blessing to us and someone who
really cared about our feelings. He went above and beyond the call of duty
in selling our home and also in closing the deal on our dream home. If
we ever choose to sell and buy again, Brian will be the agent we contact."
Thanks Toni
Shiffer: "In mid-February, we decided to search for a new
home. When calling your office, we were connected to Toni. From
the start, she was professional, extremely friendly and eager to help
us. As you know, selling one house and buying another simultaneously
can be rather stressful at best. Well, not for us. Toni stepped
up and made things happen. She came over every evening to guide
us through the process and basically held our hands from beginning to
end. Quite honestly, neither of us have ever met a person who is so focused,
dedicated and determined."
- Stephani and Brian Hawkins
"This
letter is to let you know how pleased Mike and were with
Steve
Kahn. When Steve came to our home in Duncanville to discuss putting
the house on the market he was very informative and gave us excellent advice.
Steve is a great communicator and kept us informed with each and every step
in getting the house ready to sell. He got the sign up in the yard
very quickly and gave our home a listing on several websites with pictures
of the main rooms in the house. Mike and I would highly recommend Steve
Kahn as the best REALTOR to sell houses. ."
- Mike
and Debbie McNeely
Thanks Wilene
Norris: "Thank you so much for all your help in our
search for the perfect home. We so appreciate your willingness
to work with our crazy schedule and our hectic timeline. What a
lifesaver you are! We just couldn't have asked for a better home-buying
experience, or a better REALTOR! You're the best!
- Scott and Jill Jones,
and the boys Jake, Ben & Sam
Thanks Tracie
Rainey: "We had the privilege of working with one of your
realtors, Tracie Rainey, who helped us sell our home in Fort Worth and
purchase our new home in Watauga. Tracie was very refreshing as a realtor.
She made everything easier for us. She was always there for us and kept
us informed on everything going on. Tracie made us feel like we were
important to her. We want you to know what a wonderful realtor and an
asset to your company Tracie is. She is what a realtor should be and
we will count on her for the future, as well. We will recommend her to
all of our friends as an honest, upfront, and friendly realtor in whom
we trust."
I
want to inform you of the excellent service I received while selling and
purchasing homes with your agents, Penny
Fleming and Tracie
Rainey. Both agents were very professional, friendly, caring
and knowledgeable, and very sensitive to my needs in the most difficult time
of my life. My
experience with Century 21 Mike Bowman, Inc., Penny Fleming and Tracie Rainey
was a very positive one. I would definitely refer my relatives, friends
and the public to your company. Thank You.
- Bridget Payle
Dear
Prospective Home Buyer:
When I began looking for my first home back in February, 2005, I had
absolutely no clue what I wanted or what I could afford.
Kim Marin
was extremely patient, and she wasn't afraid to give me her opinion
when we were out looking. I think we probably looked for about 2
months. The end result is that I am now the owner of a condominium
that is absolutely perfect for me. I would highly recommend Kim to
my friends, and in fact, I already have. If you're looking for
someone that won't pressure you into buying until you find something you
are completely comfortable with, Kim is an excellent choice.
- Haley Wilson
