                    Ahlvin... referred to us by Emily's sister Jennifer... who
                    had bought one of our Thousand Oaks listings and was very
                    impressed by the job for the sellers! Dear
                  Ira and Carol
 The following letter is in enthusiastic support for utilizing your expert real
  estate services.
 
 As you know, we interviewed three other potential real estate agents who, though
  competent, did not demonstrate the level of expertise that you did, nor did
  we feel the personal connection that we felt almost immediately with you.
 
 Obviously, a real estate purchase is a serious undertaking with a lot of factors
  for consideration.
 
 Some of the most relevant factors for choosing you as realtors were:
 
  EFFICIENCY  we have busy lives and we wanted a realtor that understood
our needs and our dream house.
 
  CONVENIENCE  Iras computer delivery mechanisms really allowed
us to peruse listings in a timely manner and on our time schedule, with pictures
and ratings!
 
  PERSONAL STYLE  both Carol and Ira are seasoned professionals who
answered every real estate question with clarity and accuracy, using everyday
language.
 
  TRUSTWORTHY  admittedly, we had some skepticism about real estate
agents. But the Serkes approach and open communication style quickly allowed
us to relax, and we felt that our best interests were being served. Some of the
specifics of our dream house search are also telling:
 
  NO PRESSURE  we never felt any pressure to 'hurry up' and find something
(even after seven months of looking!)
 
  QUICK ACTING  once we finally did find our new home, you were able
to act quickly and professionally in preparing our bid, and helped guide us to
a winning buying price in an extremely competitive market. On the flip side,
we believe that your help allowed us get a great selling price on our previous
home at a time when the market was uncertain.
 
  MONEY SAVINGS  at offer time, Carol used her experience and intelligence
and literally saved us thousands of dollars.
 
 In essence, we are thrilled that we decided to work with you to both help us
  buy a new home and sell our existing home! It was a great fit and an efficient
  process.
 Thank you.
 Emily and Kevin Ahlvin
