"Hi Dominic and team,

We just wanted to take a minute and thank you for all the hard work you have done for us. We know you have spent a LOT of time "fighting" to get the best deal for us and we really appreciate it! We really needed to sell the house and doing a Short Sale was our best option.

We know how hard it is to close a short sale in the current market and finally you made it happen. You have saved us from foreclosure and we really appreciate everything your guys did to make this happen. You just don’t know how relieved we are right now. Your help has made a huge difference in our lives! You guys performed a miracle. I will surely recommend you to some of my friends who are also in the same situation as I was.

-Gang 'Gary' Jing & Wen 'Wendy' Cao, Morgan Hill

"We needed to sell in these difficult times, and Dominic and his team were instrumental in the successful Short Sale of our home. They were attentive to detail, persistent in achieving results, responsive to requests from all parties, and consistently "on top of things" in all matters of the transaction. Due to the market conditions, it was a lengthy process, and Dominic and his team stayed resolute to seeing the closure through to completion, being flexible and creative, to the satisfaction of the buyers and sellers.

Dear Dominic:

Thank you so much for a job well done. I picked the best real estate person I could have. And I am so proud of you and your team for selling my Morgan Hill home for me. I am very happy here in Brookings, Oregon. I have 9 beautiful chickens, 2 rescue cats, along with my poodles, it’s a mini-farm. Ha. Thanks so much for all your efforts. It is much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Patricia Ann Lawler

Ps…Thanks also for letting me into my home when I was locked out! Ha. Take care.

Greetings Dominic,

We want to sincerely thank you and your staff for all your help last year!  Before we interviewed agents, we decided that we needed someone that we could trust.  Our hopes, dreams and finances were at stake.  Our agent would need lots of experience in real estate transactions, marketing, and possess a strong work ethic.

After working with you for 9 months, as both a buyer and a seller, we have a new, higher standard to compare other agents to.  In our opinion, you have proven yourself to be a true Real Estate professional, something we can not say about every agent.

You spent countless hours with us, helping us get the best possible house.  In the end, we looked at over 100 houses, most of which you personally showed us.  We put you through the ringer by being indecisive and starting off with an unrealistic view of what we would need to spend to get a home with all the features we wanted.  After several offers that fell through we finally found a home that had the features we wanted most and was within our means.  I think most agents would have given up on us, but you stuck with us through it all.

We know that you worked like crazy to sell our old house, going far beyond what most other agents would have done.  There was a lot of work to be completed before we could even put it up for sale.  You helped us decide what to fix and what to leave alone so that we could still get it to market before the holidays.  Your network of professionals helped us get the jobs done.  The staging service you offer is invaluable.  It was such a surprise to see just how beautiful the right paint colors, furniture and accessories could make it look!  You held open houses for us almost every weekend, most times both days!  We are really glad you were there, with your broad knowledge and experience.

We are very thankful to have had your help.

Sincerely

To Potential Home Buyer or Seller,

We have bought and sold 3 properties in the past 5 years.  The best experience of them was the purchase and sale of our Morgan Hill Condo with Dominic Godfrey of Coldwell Banker.  We were very impressed with how he handled the entire process.

When purchasing the condo Dominic helped us prepare an offer that we were comfortable with, yet was attractive enough to our sellers to accept over other offers.  The process went smoothly and Dominic made sure we understood every detail of the contract.

When it came time to list the condo the housing market had drastically changed.  Homes were staying on the market longer and prices were dropping.  Dominic managed to turn the sale of our home in good time and nearly at asking price.

Dominic has a unique quality we have not seen in other realtors.  He has excellent people skills, is very down to earth and can negotiate tough when necessary.  He has an uncanny ability to balance the needs of the buyer and seller in the transaction and makes both sides feel they have won.

We plan to purchase a fourth home in 2008 and wouldn’t dream of using another realtor.  Dominic Godfrey is the best and we would refer him to any friend or family member with complete confidence!

Sincerely,

David and Marya Keegan

“Dominic Godfrey and his team are the best real estate agents working in the Bay Area. When other agents failed to get our house sold, they got it done, even with the major housing market slump going on. As for searching for a new home, Dominic and his team are prompt to inform you of new homes, and he is great at negotiating the price in your favor. I highly recommend Dominic.”

Dominic sold my house for me in April 2007. My house had sat on the market previously for 6 months. I had an offer within one month with Dominic. The website they created for my house made it look wonderful, and I received many compliments.

“Dear Dominic,

On behalf of Elaine Klein and the rest of our family, I want to thank Dominic Godfrey and the rest of his realtor team at Coldwell Banker for doing such a superb job of selling her town home in Morgan Village in Morgan Hill. Although the home went on the market at a time when the real estate market had slowed considerably (Fall, 2005), Dominic assured us that he understood how these changes in market forces would work, and he gave us excellent advice on marketing strategies and pricing.

Then he and his team (including especially Isabel Villa and Angie Branco) provided a huge array of services that helped sell the house. After Mrs. Klein completed her move to Oakland, they staged the home beautifully; found and supervised excellent moving, cleaning, construction and painting services that were needed to update the home; held numerous open houses; and marketed the home aggressively. When the right offer was forthcoming, they managed the closing smoothly.

Dominic and his team enabled Mrs. Klein to realize the full value of her home and complete her move, always in a cheerful and helpful way. It was really a pleasure to work with them, and we are very grateful.”

“We had to write to thank you for your hard work in the preparation, marketing, and sale of our home.  The expertise, professionalism, and personalized attention we received from you and your team enabled us to receive an over asking price offer in only 2 days, which really impressed us since one other agent had recommended listing at a lower price!

The home staging service provided by Isabel was a huge benefit; it not only enhanced the best features of our home, but also gave us decorating ideas for our new home.  Your office assistant Angie was great with all the behind the scene details and transaction coordination, which allowed for a smooth transaction.  Together these aspects of your services definitely gave us an edge.  We certainly appreciated your expert handling of a complicated relocation transaction, which made us feel very comfortable through the entire process. 

We were referred to you by some close friends, and we will definitely refer you to any of our friends or family who are considering buying or selling. “

Best Regards,

"We want to thank you for facilitating the staging and sale of our home in Morgan Hill.  We never expected the procedure to move along so smoothly and quickly.

Jackie's interior design skills shone brightly as buyers were impressed by her efforts; a huge factor in the sale of the house.

Dominic's attention to detail and negotiating skills were evident as our well-marketed property  sold  in a timely and efficient manner.

Jackie and Dominic, we want to thank you for promptly answering our questions, listening to our concerns and being available to us just about 24/7.  You really did what you said you'd do to sell our house.  In this day and age, that is so refreshing.”

Sincerely,

Joe and Fran DiFalco

Monica helped us buy our first home. She is a very caring person and working with her was an absolute pleasure. She was always available to answer all our questions. Being first time buyers we were naturally nervous, but just knowing that Monica was there for us made the entire process less strenuous. She always went the extra mile to ensure that our interests were well taken care of. She knows her job and does it thoroughly. We would gladly recommend Monica to all our friends and family and to anyone out there who is looking for a really good friend in the real estate business.

I recently relocated from Palm Desert and Deanne Stutzman helped us long distance to buy our home in Morgan Hill.  Her patience, diligence and experience working with buyers was very fortunate for us.  I found her to be very thorough and she always followed through with what she said.  Her personality and experience with the whole process made it a very pleasant transaction.  I would be happy to refer her to my friends and family.

Sincerely,
Patricia Lawler    

We would like to express our deep appreciation and gratitude for all the help and service provided by Patrick Bedley while finding our dream home. As a first-time home buyer we were unfamiliar with many of the processes and Patrick guided us through every step very patiently. With his excellent knowledge of the local market, years of experience, and
a plethora of tools and resources, Patrick made the whole process of finding and buying a house unbelievably smooth. He worked extremely hard to find us the suitable properties that addressed our needs and expectations and was very flexible with his schedule to accommodate our odd hours.

When we found properties we were interested in, Patrick meticulously provided us with assessments of valuation of the properties and pros and cons of such investments. He displayed a high level of integrity and professionalism and we always felt that we had a friend assisting us in the largest financial commitment in our life. And once we found the property we wanted to buy, Patrick negotiated a fair deal for us, helped us through the inspection and calmed our nerves with his reassuring presence during the closing. He was always very prompt in answering our phone calls and emails; and when the need arose he acted above and beyond our expectations in tying up all loose ends. We feel that we were very fortunate to have a knowledgeable and skilled professional such as Patrick Bedley as our realtor and we very highly recommend him to anyone who wants to buy or sell a house.

Thanks to Stacey Poso and the staff of The GodfreyBranco.com Realtor Team at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, we realized our dream of becoming first-time homeowners, despite buying during a challenging market.  We can't say enough about Stacey's professionalism, her honesty, her tireless dedication to finding a home that was just right for us, and the absolute trust that we developed in her ability to get the job done while representing our interests first and foremost. In our opinion Stacey's commitment to providing us the best service went far beyond the call of duty. Stacey became more than just our agent; we think of her as a friend of our family.

We would definitely ask Stacey Poso to represent us again and we have already told our friends and family to strongly consider her and Dominic Godfrey’s Realtor Team for their real estate needs.

"When we were looking for our first home, we did a lot of research but we also needed guidance from an experienced professional, so we contacted The GodfreyBranco.com Realtor Team where we met Stacey Poso. She helped us find a lovely home to start our married life. During the negotiating process Stacey did everything in our favor.  She always took that extra step to make sure we were getting all the information we needed in a timely manner. During the closing process we encountered some obstacles and Stacey was always there to help us look for answers and give us her advice. If we had to do it all over again, we would not hesitate in calling Stacey to help us out again. She is the real deal. THANKS Stacey for everything."

Hi Dominic,

We have just moved in in the last couple of days and there're so many things to be unpacked. We're getting tired but still excited. We have been so blessed to own this lovely house and so thankful for all your help and services. We think Thanksgiving would be the best time to send you this thanks note.

You're simply marvelous. We have been living in the Bay Area since 1988 and have purchased a number properties. There's no doubt the service you have given us is the best. It had been more than 6-months search before we purchased this one. During the time, you showed us numerous properties in Morgan Hill, Gilroy, and Evergreen San Jose. You had always been patient, listened to our needs and given us guidance whenever we needed. You had neither been pushy nor laid back. We're so impressed by your negotiation skills and experience and really appreciate you always try to get the best deal for us. Among all the things we want to thank you, the best advice and reminder you had given to us is "find the best home you love" which had served a guidance for us whenever we were facing some decision-making. We believe this advice is also your goal for customers and that's why you have been so successful and it will continue to make you successful in the future.

Thank God for giving us this lovely home, and thank you for giving us the opportunity to know you and have your excellent service!

Also, we'd like to extend our thanks to Angie for her great service!

Best regards and Happy Holidays!

"We were first-time homebuyers and Dominic was very helpful in making sure we understood every part of the process. When we were looking at properties, he very quickly learned what we were looking for and got us in to see a half-dozen properties that met our requirements. Once we decided to put in an offer, Dominic helped us to make sure that the dozens of steps happened in the right order and with the right documentation, so there were no nasty surprises at closing. He made sure we knew what was going on at every stage of the process, and he was always available by phone when we had questions.

We have recommended Dominic to our friends who are considering purchasing a home in the south county area -- for us, it was smooth sailing the whole way and we couldn't be happier. "
