"Thank you Brad for your patience and dedication as you showed us homes for two years! All of that time paid off when you helped us find the perfect home to raise our children in. And your expertise in the field helped us to get the winning offer so that we could make it our own! " Chris & Lara Carlin "Brad's know-how and hard work enabled me to complete the purchase a short sale home in Talega even though I was 2,000 miles away in Chicago. Brad coordinated the oft-tangled lines of communication between me, the seller, the lender, and the escrow company, and he made sure the hundreds of pages of documents were appropriately reviewed and properly completed. Brad was an unfailing advocate on my behalf. He ever-patiently answered all the questions posed by this first time home buyer. Brad was always cheerful and courteous. A true professional. Thank you very much, Brad." Andy Kim Dear Brad, this is a long one, but I am hopeful that you will post this on your site for all prospective buyers and sellers to read, as it summarizes why, if they have found your site and are reading this, that their search for the perfect agent is over!First of all, Brad, you made us feel that we were your only clients, that we were #1 on your priority list. You replied to our initial inquiry email within one hour (even though you were on vacation in Hawaii with your family at the time!!) You educated us on the basics of home buying and gave us specific details about our particular position so that we could quickly and easily make important decisions with 100% confidence. You met with us when it was convenient for us, never talked about your schedule (in fact, we would have been surprised to hear that you had a schedule or any other clients, because you answered your phone and were available immediately whenever we needed you!) You helped us put in an offer on our new home on day two, and got us into escrow within the week. You then touched bases every few days to ensure that all of our questions were answered and that we were completely comfortable with everything; we never had a sense of uncertainty about anything, and never had to guess what the next step was. You and your esteemed team at Prudential kept things smooth and stress-free, and even helped us close escrow early! Through the entire process, we felt secure that you were capable of smoothly and quickly handling any issues that may arise, but realized that since you don’t let even one tiny detail slip through the cracks, nothing was likely to pose a problem. We can tell that you are obviously not in this industry just to make a sale, you are in this to help each of your clients make the right transaction for their particular needs. You made our home purchase fun, like we were out shopping with a friend, rather than going through the typical, stressful, disorganized process that everyone believes home buying (or selling) has to be. Thank you for having perfected the way to make this enjoyable! In summary, it is clear that your personality, unique skills, detailed knowledge, general expertise and many years of experience in the industry put you at the top of the market. We cannot express enough our sincere thanks for your dedication, hard-work, honesty, patience, and sincere concern about us and our well-being. We are excited that we’ll be moving in soon and will be neighbors!! Please feel free to have any prospective clients contact us if they have any questions about the exceptional service you provided us. Sincerely, Shenandoah and David "Brad took an honest approach to sell our San Clemente home. We were pleased with the process and would recommend our family and friends to use Brad Trager in the sale or purchase of their home." Tyler & Keri Bliss"We want to thank Brad Trager for selling our house at 1612 Vista Luna. His hard work, dedication and follow-up were apparent from the first day we decided to work with him. He really listened to our needs and wants and responded with a first-class marketing campaign that included high quality marketing pieces, numerous open houses, and getting the most exposure for our listing possible. We were impressed with the number of showings from prospective buyers and actual offers we received even in this more balanced market. Brad's marketing system brought three strong offers within the first month on the market. Not only did we get the highest selling price this year in The Reserve South, but Brad also brought us the buyer. It is no surprise to us that Brad is one of Prudential's top producing agents. We are grateful that we chose Brad Trager as our Realtor and we highly recommend him" Dave & Stacy Bull Brad, Thank you for helping us to sell our house in the Reserve so quickly. We've seen how long it is taking for homes to sell in this market and we knew we didn't want to wait the average of 9.5 months. It is always hard to sell your house because it disrupts your life but it is even harder when you have 5 children and have to make sure the house is spotless before you leave each day in case someone comes to see it. We priced it aggressively and with your help we were able to have it sold in 31 days and the escrow closed shortly after. Thank you once again for all of your help. Hey Brad, I just wanted to let you know that Betina and I were very pleased to have worked with you in selling our house. We have worked with other agents in the past and just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your hard work and dedication. It's nice to actually work with a Realtor who answers his phone Mon-Sun regardless of the hour. In addition, to your hard work, I think we sold above market value and that's because of your persistence and knowledge. Thanks again for everything Brad and I will recommend you to all of my friends and acquaintances. Best Regards, Brad, Thanks so much for all your assistance with the SALE of our home and the guidance towards the new home. It is easy to see why you are as successful as you are. Your commitment to your clients is rare and commendable! Know that we stand as adament referrals and friends for you and your business. Dan & Kristie Putnam Brad, Kristi and I want to thank you for your professionalism but most of all your friendship. As you are obviously aware purchasing a house is very stressful. You made our experience very pleasant and enjoyable. You always informed us of our options, answered all our questions, followed up when you said you would and most of all never pressured us. You just provided us accurate and timely information so that we could make good solid decisions. You were a friend! Other realtors we ran into said how good you were and that made us feel all the more confident working with you. Unequivocally we will use you again for our next home. Thanks again! Craig and Kristi Brad, Dawn and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your hard work in finding us a home. Moving from downtown Chicago, we had no idea how crazy the real estate market in Orange County was. Couple that with the fact that we were first time buyers and our stress level went through the roof! Your patience, knowledge and perservance, enabled us to not only find our first home, but do it without unecessary stress. We truely appreciate your help and look forward to working with you again when we decide to move up in the market. Sincerely, David Fekete Brad, I wanted to take a moment to both thank you for helping us sell our home and to also expand upon the overall experience from what I consider two rather unique perspectives. First and foremost, I owe you and your team at Prudential many thanks for the outstanding effort that was put forth in the sale of my home. Your staff always made me feel as though I was their only client. My inquiries and concerns were always handled in a timely manner with thoughtfulness and thoroughness. Personally, you possess a rare gift of being both professional and yet warm and friendly at the same time. I instantly felt as though I had known you for years. As you know, we had our home listed with an agent from another company for 90 days prior to listing our property with you. During that three month timeframe with the other agent we did not get one single offer on our home. Towards the end of the listing period the agent was pressuring us to lower the sales price in order to attract a buyer. We declined to lower the sales price but instead brought on board your Dream Team to help us after the previous listing expired. Within two weeks you presented me with two full price offers using the same sales price that produced no offers in 90 days with the other agent! I was truly impressed. After the offer we accepted fell out of escrow due to buyer issues you got us another offer within a week after the home went back on the market. There can be no better evidence of your talents than this. One other perspective that I bring to the table that many people don't have is an insider's knowledge of the real estate industry. I have been in the mortgage banking business for over a dozen years now. On average, I am personally involved in the origination and funding of half a billion dollars worth of home loans per year, of which more than half are purchases. I have seen many purchase transactions struggle through the process or fall out of escrow for numerous issues. Our sale could not have been smoother. Your attentiveness and knowledge prevented any issues from arising although I am confident you would have handled them swiftly and skillfully should anything have surfaced. You truly have found your niche in life. I am proud to consider you a friend and I look forward to watching your career continue to blossom. Sincerely, David Johnston Direct Line (415) 446-3336 Dear Brad, Thank you so much for finding me my beautiful condo in the Marina City Club. You were such a great help help from beginning to end. As soon as I am ready to buy a house in a few years I will definitely go through Brad. Excellent service, very honest, and reliable. Thank Brad. Kindest Regards, Christian Wicks. I met Brad Trager at an open house at which I already had a realator helping me look for a second home. I made Brad aware of this, however his sincere and honest approach to the way he handled the situation made me switch to Brad Trager from my present realator whom was promisng me everything and delivered nothing. I decided to give Brad a opportunity to show me what he could do for me in the parameters I had set with him. Needless to say, after showing me many homes at my convenience, Brad made it happen. I feel that Brad is not your typical agent, no pressure, no panic revving, just straight forward honesty and integrity. Brad surrounds himself with solid people with a wealth of information regarding the market, financing and overall knowledge of the market conditions at hand. I will be working with Brad on my 3rd property purchase in 2006 as are my family and friends. Thanks, Stephen Vangelos During our recent move from South Carolina to Orange County, we were fortunate enough to be given the name of a great realtor, Brad Trager. We originally thought we wanted to live in Irvine, because it seemed like a good community close to my husband's office. Brad took us to numerous listings in Irvine, but we weren't finding the perfect match. He encouraged us to try communities further south in Aliso Viejo and San Clemente. After showing us several listings in both places, we found the right home in San Clemente. We are very grateful that Brad was willing to show us what we thought we wanted, but also willing to open up our minds to other options. We have fallen in love with San Clemente and are very grateful that we ended up here, thanks to Brad. We would highly recommend Brad to anyone who wants a great realtor. Lori Anderson Brad, As first time home buyers, we would like to thank you for your help and patience in making the process of buying a home as painless as possible. We have always heard the horror stories from our friends and were pleasantly surprised when nothing like what we have been told happened and a HUGE part of that had to do with YOU! Your tireless work in finding us a place ? especially after our needs and wants changed - and your patience with nervous and sometimes temperamental buyers really made the whole experience a pleasant one. We loved spending our first Christmas in our own home and look forward to many more happy memories. Abe & Casey CookAbraham Cook Ø Brad was truly dedicated to finding our family the best possible home that met all of our requirements and fulfilled our needs. Ø If you need a real estate professional with your best interest at the top of the priority list, Brad Trager is that agent. Ø Brad demystified the entire process and helped educated me and my wife so we could make a well informed decision. Brad Hibbard Dear Brad, We just wanted to take the time to write you this letter to thank you for all your help with selling our home! We were so impressed with the quality and level of service that you provided throughout the entire process, as well as your expertise in the area and your incomparable personality that made us feel so comfortable and at ease. You were always so responsive, helped market our home with compelling tactics and always out-did yourself at every open house! Because of your level of service and expertise, our home sold at top dollar and so smoothly! You will definitely be our lifelong Realtor and we will recommend you to all our friends. Thank you so much for all your efforts, hard work and dedication. Sincerely, Dear Brad, Thank you for making our home buying and selling experience such an easy one. You truely made us feel like we were your only client! Thanks again, Brad, Just a quick note to thank you for your excellent service in assisting my wife & I locate and purchase our new retirement home in San Clemente. My wife & I have purchased many homes and worked with many realtors over the years, and your service was by far the best EVER provided. You never hesitated to go above & beyond to make things easy for us. We would never hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking to purchase a new home in the San Clemente area! Thanks again, Reed & Arlene Johnson Hi Brad I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing job you did on getting our house sold for in the Reserve South. I really appreciated the incredible care and effort that you gave us to insure that we would get the highest price possible for our home. We are finally preparing to move into to our newly constructed home in San Diego and it would not of been possible without your help. Have a great week and I will make sure I refer you anyone I know in the OC area looking for a great agent. Hope you and the family liked the sandals. Take care my Friend Courtney Kincaid Dear Brad, Just a quick note to thank you for all your hard work and determination to get our house sold in a slow market. Your dedication and follow-thru is what made the difference. Thanks for bringing us two strong offers and a really quick escrow. Gregg and Theresa |
