First of all, thanks for the website. I have
owned property in Lucas for a year now and I still check your
website daily. I enjoy looking at the quality of the
listings and seeing what everyone else has built.
Now, when I see other agents and the photos
they use, I just “shake my head”. I even sent a realtor, we
were using (out of your area) to your website hoping he would
“get a clue” about why I was being picky about our photos - needless
to say he didn’t seem to catch on. We ended up using our
photos instead of his.

To whom it may concern:
I thought you might be interested in the professional
relationship that my wife, Gayle, and I developed with Tom Grisak
and his firm.
We
lived in Florida in 2004 when we decided to retire and move back to
the Dallas area to be near our kids and grandkids.As we had lived in the area most of our lives,
we knew the territory and began an internet search of prospective
homes to pursue on our subsequent house hunting trips to Dallas.It
seemed that Tom’s listings always stood out from the other Multiple
Listing Service candidates and, much to our delight, we found a lot
of additional information about prospective homes on his most unique
website.
Even though we ended up buying a model home from a builder, the
experience of “checking” his website on occasion to see what else
was new and available never quite left my habits.
Invariably, I’d find a listing that I had to grab Gayle and bring
her to the computer to see.
When we decided in 2006 to remodel a home we
had in the mountains of NM and build a new home on a lake in East
Texas, it meant selling the house we’d just bought.We both remembered the marketing and internet
presence that Tom brought to each of his listings independent of the
house’s price.It was a no-brainer;we listed the house with Tom literally the next
day.His staff immediately set out to photograph the house
inside and out and the grounds as well.The fact checks for not only the MLS listing
but for the website were exhaustive but complete and accurate.The listing was presented with as much
marketing flair as any of Tom’s multimillion dollar homes and far
more thoroughly than any broker’s efforts in North Texas.
The house took awhile to sell.The
market had already begun to slow, but, to our delight, the house
price itself was close to what we’d hoped to get for the home and
the closing was, thankfully, uneventful.
Through the entire process, we both were pleased with the
meticulous manner Tom and his staff always exhibited in keeping us
informed with showings, offers, and statistics relevant to our
listing and how it was faring versus others in the area.
In closing, I would be remiss if I didn’t include my respect for
Tom and his integrity.He never tells you “what you want to hear” to
get the job done.If you have occasion to utilize Tom Grisak’s
services, I promise you that you will never deal with a more
talented, honest man who also happens to be a realtor.
Sincerely,
Louis Nelson

Dear Tom,
I want to tell you how much
Jennifer and I appreciated the way you handled our sale on Hart Road in
Fairview. I know how difficult the real estate market is these days, but
your hard work finally paid off. As an out of town seller, we never felt like we were
kept in the dark in regards to what was happening on our home. You kept us
updated every single week with your thorough marketing reports and provided
us with continual feedback from buyer agents after showings. That helped us
immensely in deciding where we had to price our home to sell it.
Our home looked beautiful on your site and we both felt
that was one of the main reasons you were able to sell it with so much out
there. And finally, you were invaluable in helping us coordinate the
required repairs. You then stayed on top of them to make sure they were
completed.
We wish you continued success and you are welcome to
use us a reference if anyone wants to know what kind of job you do for your
clients.
Sincerely, Luke and Jennifer Edson

Tom -
Lisa and I greatly appreciate the personal touch and
time that went into the marketing of our home. You did an excellent job
of utilizing your website to effectively market our property during this
difficult market.
The detailed narrative outlining all the
features our home had to offer and the high quality pictures played a
huge role in selling our home. In fact, our home sold without
the buyer's wife ever physically walking into the home!
It is
obvious that your website gave her the information and comfort she
needed to agree with her husband's recommendation to buy this home. We
think this situation clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of your
approach!
Thank you for all your help!
Hub and Lisa Thompson

Dear Tom:
We can't thank you enough for everything you
have done. We never would have believed that we would have sold our home in
such a short time, but because of your fabulous and most professional
marketing on your website and your skills, the unbelievable happened to us -
within 1-1/2 weeks of showing our house with non-stop showings, we had a
contract.
We have been so impressed with all that your
services and website have to offer, from directing us to helpful and
skillful handymen to finish up details for showing, advising us on what we
needed to do in order to have successful showings, house plans, photos and
virtual tour, scheduled appointments for showings, handling the contracts
and direction for closing, and the final follow-up to be sure that all of our
expectations have been met.
Several of our friends and acquaintances were
so impressed with our experience that they have asked for your information
so that when they are ready to sell they can be sure they have the same
success. Thank you again - it has been such a pleasure working with you and
your staff.

Dear Tom,
Just a note to again say thanks for the
remarkable success we experienced working with Tom Grisak Realtors
supporting the sale of our home at 560 Ashwood in Fairview.
With a contract in hand within an hour of the first showing, and a
sale price within 1% of our asking price, we just don’t know how we
could have been any more pleased with the results, and the personal
attention we experienced.
We believe the exceptional
website you provide was one of the keys in getting our house exposed
to the right customers, and really made the difference. Your
diligence and strong market knowledge was essential in establishing
an accurate sale price for our home and was extremely helpful.
We both strongly believe that even with the quick sale, we achieved
a fair and equitable price for our home, and thank you for your
counsel in this area.
Secondly, with a 30 day closing we had
so many things to do and throughout the process of inspections and
negotiations, your entire Company was committed to making the
experience less intense for us, and we can’t thank each of you
enough for that support.
Overall, I just don’t think
we could ever recommend anyone other than Tom Grisak Realtors to
someone looking to buy or sell their home. Knowledge is
critical in these markets, and your experience and your
professionalism truly made the difference for us. Leaving any
place is hard, especially Fairview. We were so thankful that
we had your Company’s professional guidance and support to make the
experience so much easier.
In closing, please accept
our thanks for what was a truly exceptional experience working with
you, and you’re incredible Team of professionals. We know we
could not have done it without you. If there is ever an
opportunity for us to give further recommendation to potential
Sellers or Buyers, please don’t hesitate to call us.
Sincerely, James and Jane Rose

Dear “Grisak crew”,
Thank you for your hard work, wonderful marketing and keeping us as clients
with a house that wouldn’t sell. But…finally it did. Thank you for
your part in that. Probably the
greatest part of all this has been getting to know each of you. We have
appreciated, more than you know, your encouragement, your patience with
us and your friendship. It is no wonder your business is so
successful! You’re a great team!
Thank you again for
everything! Wally and Judy Getz
November 1st, 2004
Dear Tom,
Thank you for the tremendous job you did in selling
our home. That was a difficult transaction from start to finish, mainly because
it was on such a short clock. It involved the sale of our home, a short term
lease-back after the closing, and finally, you finding a lease home for us on
very short notice. If any one of these had turned out to be an issue, it would
have severely impacted the buyers or us.
You held everything together and it
worked out perfectly for all parties involved.Your
acting as an intermediary allowed us to communicate quickly and effectively with
the buyers without having it translated through a third party. You made sure
that everyone knew exactly what was going on and brought it all together.
We
sincerely appreciate your efforts and will certainly recommend you to our
friends.

Tom,
As you know, we
originally found the home ourselves on your website while we were
living in California. We already knew about your company and the
quality of homes you handle, so I attached a robot to your site
which notified us immediately whenever you posted a listing. We
actually made our offer on the home before you had a chance to post
it to the multiple listing service.
When we decided
to sell the home, we decided to list it with an
agent whom we had a prior relationship
with. We were frustrated at the lack of activity, so we
called you when the listing expired. Just as before, our home was
pictured beautifully on your site and not surprisingly, you sold it
quickly. Throughout the process, we were very impressed with your
very thorough marketing reports. We knew what was selling, what
wasn’t selling, where our competition was, and how many people were
looking at our home every day.
Thank you for
your hard work and if we ever come back to the Dallas area, we will
make sure to look you up.
Mike

Dear Tom,
We’ve never been through the reality of what it truly means to buy
and sell a home. We know we needed lots of TLC, explanations, and extra
attention. And then, we needed your patience most of all, because ours had long
since departed.
All of you were so patient,
kind, and informative with us. We like to think we’re special, but we know it’s
you all as a team that made us feel that way, as we can guess many before us
have felt the same and many will to come. Your detailed work and marketing
efforts are top-notch and although they require such extensive hard work, it
truly sets you all apart from the rest.
We can’t thank you enough
for assisting us in this process, for your patience and kindness, and for the
many ways you have touched both of our lives and hearts for years to come. We
may have signed all the papers & finally can say it’s ours, but we hope to
continue our relationship with you all for a long time.
Thank you all so much! Jim and Stacey Cole
October 1st, 2004
Dear Tom,
This is a long over due thank you. We have been so busy trying to get back into
some routine of life after a move with three kids to truly say how much we
appreciate what you guys did for us.
Needless to say, moving is a draining and emotional experience to say the
least. We have never been in a position that we needed to sell before we
moved. The only times my husband and I ever moved we have had the new place
ready to go and were able to move a little bit slower and fit it around our busy
schedules. The second difference this time around was having a two and four
year old. It is also very frustrating to sell in a totally different market
than the one you bought in to begin with. We appreciate your patience through
our whole transaction. The fact that you also represented the buyers in our
circumstance was a big plus for us. The communication and patience that you
kept from beginning to end was wonderful.
Mike and I love your website, and have as you know for a couple of years now.
You are right, "you are not just a sign in the yard and move on to the next
deal" kind of Realtor. We first found your website in September of 2001. Mike
made an appointment with you and you showed us a home in Fairview that we fell
in love with, as we have with so many of your listings. Although we were not
sure we were going to move yet at that time, you were very informative and still
gave us plenty of market information as well as options available to us to help
us purchase that home and sell ours at the same time. We eventually decided it
would be best if we sold our home first and then bought something. Although we
did not buy that particular home, we did put our home for sale with another real
estate agent. During this period we always came back to your website. We
found many houses we loved and learned so much about an area we did not know
existed and fell in love with its beauty and charm all from your eyes and the
homes on your website. It is truly evident that you love to live in the area as
much as you love the homes you sell in these communities.
In July of 2003, we became very frustrated with the lack of response we had
while trying to sell our home. The market in our area was so slow for pre-owned
homes in our price range. So knowing thatyou did not
sell homes in Frisco, Mike contacted you again to see if you would be willing to
come out and sell our home on your website. Your website is so great we figured
we might be able to tap into an audience that we might not otherwise be able
to. You came out and saw our home and agreed to market it. I remember the day
youcame out. I
immediately liked all of you and felt like we had known you all for a while
instead of being newly acquainted. Your description and pictures captured the
love we had for our home so well. I remember thinking when you came out that I
wanted you to take certain shots, but I didn't feel I should say anything about
how to do a job you already do so well. To my surprise, when I looked at our
home on the website you already had all the shots I wanted you to take. You
guys even came back to get some more you forgot that I hadn't even thought of.
Our home looked so beautiful on your website.
You listed our home on
September 16, 2003, and we had our first and only offer yet come in on November
7, 2003. Although this offer did not work out, you were patient with us while
we had our home off the market through the holidays and some personal business.
We listed it again with you in mid January 2004. We had our next serious and
final offer on Mother's Day 2004. Your market reports helped keep us informed
and realize what the market was actually doing. You never suggested once that
if we lowered the price of our home that we might get an offer, but with your
information and the fact that we wanted to be competitive and get an edge over
the competition helped us to come to an asking price that would get an offer,
and that we could be happy with. It did, and we also saw more showings when we
came to a competitive price than we did the entire time we tried to sell the
home previously.
Needless to say we had a more complicated closing than anyone expected, but
again, your patience, communication and just the over-all calm you all had in
the middle of our storm was comforting to us. You never failed to take control
of the situation and get on the phone and make some progress while keeping us
and the buyers informed and sane all at once. We can't say thank you enough.
And still... you have not heard the last from us. We are not where we want to
be just yet, but you helped us get into a temporary home that is working out
just fine for our family. Knowing that we were still going to have you help us
find the home we wanted to be in for a long time to come, you gave us plenty of
time to settle in and have the much needed rest we needed after a very big
move. Then you left us a gentle message that said " hope you are settling in
and when and if you need us...we are here", just as you did in the non-pushy way
we met you over three years ago. So we contacted you and let you know we would
be ready soon to be out looking again, but not exactly sure on the date. You
agreed to move slow with us and would again be ready and there when we were, and
even though we are not officially signed clients again you still agreed when I
asked you to send us the weekly updates on the market so we could be informed
while we were looking very carefully, because I hope this next move will be for
a long while. We have found a nice place to stay!
So in this very winded thank you, I hope I have expressed our sincere thanks and
to let anyone who thinks you guys might be the kind of people who " stick in a
sign and move on"...tell them they are more than welcome to talk to us. After
three years and counting of working with you, we know differently.
With much Gratitude, Mike and Kelli Billingsley

Dear Tom,
I want you to know how impressed we were with the
way you handled the sale of our home in Huntwick Estates. We chose you because
of your strong reputation for selling high end homes in this area. You didn’t
disappoint us!
It took only 40 days to close our home from the
day you listed it. That in itself is quite an accomplishment in such a
difficult real estate market. But we were selling our home during November and
December, and these are historically very slow months for home sales.
We were thrilled with the way you portrayed our
home so beautifully on your website. We have sold many homes over the years and
never seen an agent take the time to really get to know our home the way you
did. And last, but certainly not least, the out of state buyers found our home
on your website. As you know, one of the buyers never even walked in the home
before buying it. That is a real testament to how well our home was marketed
and what a thorough job you did with it on your website.
Your concept of marketing homes is so far
superior to your competition; we now understand why you are the top selling
Realtor for this area! We would be more than happy to speak with anyone who is
considering listing their home with you.
Lisa Hopkinson

About a year ago, we retained
the services of Tom Grisak Country Estates to sell our home in Fairview. We
told Tom that we were patient Sellers and we would sell only when we got the
price we wanted. Tom assured us that he was also a patient Realtor and would
never pressure us to lower the price, even if the showings were not happening.
We hired Tom because of his
track record in selling high end homes in Fairview. It seems like every time we
opened our mailbox we were receiving another card from Tom on an expensive home
he had just sold out here. His homes were all portrayed beautifully on his
website and we felt he would do the same thing on ours. We were certainly not
disappointed!
We requested that Tom not place
a “For Sale” sign in our yard. Tom assured us that this was not a problem. He
stated that with his strong market presence in the area, people would still find
our home either from his other signs directing people to his website,
Realtor.com, or the multiple listing service.
During the first year, our home
was shown a total of two times. Tom told us that in a market downturn which we
were experiencing, there were just not a lot of buyers in the $1.2 Million price
range. But he also said several times “It only takes one”, and that is what
happened. We had just renewed Toms, listing for
another year when the third showing took place. This prospect turned out be the
eventual buyer and it was a very quick sale.
Tom handled the transaction
flawlessly and we were all very pleased with the price. We would recommend
him without hesitation!
Sincerely, Bob and JoLee Ritter
October 12th, 2002
Hi Tom,
We sincerely appreciate your efforts in selling our home.
We
interviewed other Realtors, but we felt from the first that you would be
instrumental in helping us attain top dollar. While your original opinion of
value was not that far off from the other Realtors’, you made it clear to us
that no-one really knows how much a buyer will pay for a home. You were
perfectly willing to let us price the home on the high side and see what the
market would bear. The other Realtor refused to do this. If we had taken her
recommendation, we would have lost in the neighborhood of $30,000 on the
transaction.
You were also
prophetic on the appraisal issue. You told us that if we were fortunate enough
to go under contract at our asking price, in all likelihood we would run into
trouble because of the other home sales in our neighborhood. You said that
appraisers tend to appraise on pure “bricks and mortar, square footage, and
amount of land”. You said if the appraiser could not match
his appraised price with the contract price, you could probably help.
You told us your reputation in this area carried a lot
of weight and an appraiser might listen to what you have to say.
As a matter of fact, we did run into trouble on the
appraisal, but there is no doubt in our minds that your e-mail to the appraiser
stating how special and unique our home was made the
difference. I guess it also didn’t hurt when you told him
that you already had two buyers for the home at our full asking price!
Last but
certainly not least, our home was pictured so beautifully on your website! On
the day of the sale, we had 1,311 hits on our home over a period of 61 days.
That averages out to about 22 hits per day, every day. That is what I call
market presence and tremendous exposure for our home. I cannot thank You enough
for your efforts!
Sincerely, David Scoville
May 8th, 2002
Dear Tom,
If you remember, I told you I interviewed you for the
listing of my home because I kept seeing your signs in yards and receiving
postcards from you about homes you sold in this area. I knew you lived out here
and really understood the appeal of Lucas and close-in country living. I
visited your website and believed it would provide a tremendous amount of
additional advertising for my home, although I had no idea how important a role
it would eventually play! Your listing presentation was very professional and
you convinced me you could get the job done.
It took less than 24 hours from the moment my home hit your
website for it to sell. We learned later that the buyer was from California and
with Intel Corporation. He had designed a robot which continually searched your
site for new listings and notified him immediately as they appeared. The buyer
actually saw the home in California within an hour of you posting the listing to
your site, and even before the home hit the MLS. He
had his local Realtor tour the home the very next morning and gave you a full
price offer at that time. As it turns out, I received a better than full price
offer when I factored in the rent on the short term lease and closing costs you
negotiated for me.
Your tremendous website was the direct reason for the quick sale
of my home. We live in an Internet world and this was a classic example of how
it is changing the way homes are bought and sold. You have done a great job of
positioning your company within Lucas and the entire technology world to take
advantage of it. Thank You again for your hard work!
Dr. William Caudill
September 22nd, 2001
Dear Tom,
If I remember correctly, you
contacted us after the listing expired on our home. You left a CD presentation
on your company on our front door step. We looked at the CD and then went to
your website. Being technical people, we really liked the way you showcased
your listings and educated people on the town of Fairview on the Internet.
No-one else was doing this.
Our former Realtor was
a Plano specialist. She had been trying to sell the home for nine months or
so. We knew we had made a mistake when she started blaming the lack of showings
on our home to it being “out in the country”. As you know, Fairview is not
only not “out in the country”, it is also a
very well heeled community. We knew you were the right person for the job after
we met with you. We had also interviewed your competitors who worked this area
and found there was no comparison with the job you did in marketing your
listings versus what the other Realtors provided.
The very first thing
you did was place our home within the correct school district on the MLS. Much
to our dismay, our home had been listed on the MLS for many, many months with
the incorrect school district. You felt that this, as much as anything, was one
of the reasons why the showings had been so slow. You looked at the prior
virtual tour that was provided to us and agreed that it was a major
disappointment. You told us that you are right there when the tour is shot to
make sure it is done correctly with the correct lighting.
We could not have been
more impressed with the marketing package you put together on our home. We knew
with all of your links leading to your website that anyone in the world with
Internet access would be able to find our home quickly. They would also be able
to see the home in great detail with still shots and a virtual tour that made
our home look more, not less, appealing.
We were trying to sell
our home for top dollar in a very, very depressed market for high end homes.
However, we were patient in looking for the right buyer and so were you. The
end result was we found that buyer, sold our home for
$790,000, and maximized our investment.
How could we not be
pleased with the job you did for us? We would certainly recommend you without
any reservation whatsoever!

We recently listed our home in Fairview with Tom Grisak Country
Estates. We interviewed several much larger firms before selecting Tom to
represent us, so we had a good idea of what his competition was doing and how
they would market our home.
Tom impressed us with his track record of selling
many (if not most) of the high end homes in Fairview over the past couple of
years. We felt Tom understood this unique, niche market and could help us
attain top dollar for our home. We felt we had a very special home and Tom
agreed. He told us he often has to go with his instincts in pricing a home
rather than a “bricks and mortar” assessment of value. We all decided to test
what we believed was the top of the market without going so high as to
discourage people from walking through the door.
The home sold at full price
in only twenty days from start to finish. This was done in a very sluggish
market for high end homes. We were most impressed by Tom’s website, marketing
tools, and experience and knowledge of the area. Tom told us we had 640 hits on
our home on his website in the 21 days between the day it was posted until
closing. He did a beautiful job of portraying our home and making it really
stand out. He kept us updated every step of the way and his weekly marketing
and activity reports on our home were timely, thorough and informative.
Tom is a true professional who takes great pride
in his work. We we could not recommend him more highly!
Tom and Kathy Esposito
June 4th, 2002
Thank You for the excellent
job you did in selling my home. As you know, the prior Realtor had my
home listed for about a year with absolutely no results. During that time, I
kept receiving postcard after postcard about homes you sold in the
Lucas/Fairview area. I finally decided to give you a try, and I am glad I did!
You
sold my home in less than 5 weeks from the day you signed the listing
agreement. What makes this even more impressive is you took the listing at the
exact same listing price as the other Realtor. You kept us updated all along
the way with weekly marketing reports, recent sales, and other valuable
information about the area. The transaction hit a stumbling block the day
before the closing, but you kept it on track and really fought for us during the
negotiations.
I sincerely appreciate your hard work, attention to details, and professionalism
in handling the sale. We would recommend you very highly to anyone who is
looking for a real professional to sell their home in Lucas.
Roxanne Barnes
February 3rd, 2002
Dear Tom,
Thank you for the way you handled the
sale of our home in Fairview. We chose you to represent us for two reasons.
We knew you specialized in the Fairview/Lucas/Parker market. This is a very
defined niche market and we believed it would take someone who really understood
it to help us attain the price of the home we wanted. We were also very
impressed with your website. Not only did all of your homes show beautifully,
you also educated people on the area. We knew we would be getting much more
than a sign in the yard, the MLS and some flyers!
As you know, the re-sale market in Fairview has been especially
hard hit by the high tech industry layoffs in Richardson. The September 11th
tragedy only compounded the difficulty of selling a home in the $800,000 price
range. We were prepared for a long listing period, but much to our surprise,
the home was sold in 86 days!
At our original listing appointment,
you told us that there was a good chance you might
have already met the buyer for our home. You just didn’t know who it would be.
You explained that eventually you will run into most of the high end buyers because
you have the majority of the high end custom homes listed. You
were right!
The eventual buyer had been through
two prior negotiations with you on two of your other
listed homes. In both cases, the buyer was not successful in
buying the homes, but you said you felt pretty sure that
things would work out this time. You were right
again!
The buyer was in New York City looking at our home on your
website as his extended family was touring it in person. In fact, the buyer never set foot in the home before it closed. Your thorough marketing
package allowed him to make a decision from thousands of miles away.
The transaction could not have gone any more
smoothly from start to
finish. We would recommend you very highly to anyone who is looking for a true
professional to sell their home.
Scott and Angela Schlemmer
February 1st, 2001
Before Tom Grisak
listed
our home, we gave much thought as to what type of Realtor would do the best job.
After speaking
with other firms from the Plano area, I invited Tom to come over and make his listing presentation.
Several things immediately stood out.
It quickly became obvious that Tom had
a real knowledge and appreciation
of this area. He was also a specialist
in marketing and selling a high end home like ours. We had already decided that we did not want a Realtor with an
office in Plano who really didn’t understand this area trying to sell our
home. We could tell that Tom would
commit his time, energy and resources to getting the job done.
We felt that Tom would provide much more than just a sign and the
multiple listing service. Tom was creative and had some good ideas for marketing our
home.
We also felt that Tom’s Internet presence would
help immensely in showing potential buyers the truly unique features of our
home. Tom told us that about 60% of
the time, he will find the buyers for his listings himself directly from his
website, so we thought that was tremendous add-on marketing.
As it turns out, Tom sold our home in less than 60
days and the buyer found our home himself by following a link to Tom’s
website. Our home also set the bar for
home sales in Fairview. You simply cannot do much
better than that!
I could not recommend Tom more highly for his
professionalism, marketing skills, knowledge of the area, and his commitment to
his clients.
Rodney Smith
September 2nd, 2001
After much
deliberation, we decided that Tom Grisak
was the right person to sell our home.
We were asking over $1 million for our property and knew we needed someone who
had a good handle on the high end buyers in the area. We were very impressed with
Tom's website, the periodic post cards we received from him on his new
listings, and most of all, his commitment to selling homes only in Lucas,
Fairview, and Parker. It was very apparent that he understood this market and we
felt his intimate knowledge of the area and buyers would be very beneficial.
At our initial
meeting, Tom told us he thought he had a buyer who would be perfect for the
home. He had showed this
couple several homes over the past couple of years and felt fairly sure that
our home would be exactly what they were looking for.
Tom assured us that this was not a ploy to get the listing and we
believed him.
We signed the listing agreement and Tom contacted
his prospective buyer’s agent even before the home hit
the multiple listing service. He strongly suggested that she get her buyers out to see
the home as quickly as possible. The
buyers’ agent had limited experience in this area, but Tom impressed on her
that homes like ours just don’t come onto the market very often.
Tom already had already posted the pictures of our home his website so the
buyers could see both the inside of the home and the acreage that
night. The buyers showed up
with an
offer in hand the very next day.
The property closed without any problems.
They were the first and only prospects to walk into our home.
Tom stayed on top
of the transaction from start to finish. He
protected our interests and gave us good advice along the way.
Last, but certainly not least, we were thrilled with the price.
Tom told us that he was the top selling Realtor for this area, and now we
know why! We are completely
satisfied with the job he did for us and would recommend him without
reservation!

I have
moved seven times over the past 27 years and therefore have worked with numerous
full-time, professional real estate agents in several metropolitan areas across
the country. Your effort and assistance in selling our house in Parker
exceeded the level of service provided by any real estate agent I have ever
encountered. Also, your expertise and patience kept the sale together
during the period of time I was convinced it was falling apart. We
obtained a very good sales price.
I
would certainly recommend you to any prospective client who is considering using
you as their real estate agent.

... We
especially liked the activity reports you provided showing the calls
you received on the property. It was helpful seeing prospects
comments about the property in making decisions in how to best
market the property. We have worked with many agents over the
years and really felt that this time there was added value to the
service. All too often a sign is placed on a piece of property
and it is locked up for a year of passive selling. Agents who
approach the sales process as "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn
once in a while". We were looking for an active sales agent
that would work with us and listen to our ideas on how to best
market this unique property. Thanks once again!

After interviewing several real estate agents, we
chose Tom Grisak to list our property at 202 Snider Lane in Lucas. We already knew
about his intimate knowledge of the area so we felt that he was a natural choice.
To begin with, Tom advertised our
home very professionally on his website. He kept us well informed throughout the marketing
process and provided valuable advice all the way through closing. We were especially
pleased with his ability to work through several difficult obstacles, any of which could
have been a deal breaker.
Tom had our house under contract in
3 months despite the fact that we were trying to sell it during the difficult, slow winter
months. We were very impressed with the job Tom did for us and we highly recommend
him as a diligent, honest, hard working and professional broker.

Meg and I would like to thank you for the fine work you
did in selling our home. First of all, you priced the home exactly where it should
have been (as evidenced by the final appraisal). You kept us continually updated
throughout the marketing process. We always knew what comments were being made about
our home, both good an bad. You gave us excellent advice on how to handle two offers
at one time and you encouraged us to go with what turned out to be the right buyer.
Last but not least, you navigated us painlessly through the entire closing process.
Your level of professionalism is outstanding and we will highly recommend you
without hesitation should the opportunity ever present itself.

It
was such a pleasure working with you. You restored my confidence in the
the real estate community. You were so pleasant and professional.
You had the added challenge of representing both the buyers and sellers in our
transaction. I always felt we were taken care of and informed. Thank
you for the efforts in our behalf. I love my home!
