A Letter of Recommendation Much Appreciated

January 9, 2010

To whom it may concern:

 

Background:

After a number of summers in Scottsdale, AZ, my wife and I decided we needed a cooler place.  We visited a number of possible cities and finally decided to look in the Lake Tahoe area.  We wanted a condo or PUD in our price range on the Nevada side.  Otherwise, the options were open.

 

We had no prior knowledge of Chuck Stanley.  Our first contact was when we walked into his realty office and asked to talk to a realtor.  It could not have worked out better if he’d been checked out for us by the Central Intelligence Agency.

 

Our search took about 3 ½ months, from late May to mid-September.  We visited the Tahoe area four times during that period and averaged about six days per visit.  We were looking at properties with Chuck about half that time.

 

Recommendation:

We came away happy with the property we bought and delighted with Chuck.  Specifically, we found him to be:

• Honest.  He never tried to hide the downside of any property or feed us malarkey.
• Skilled.  He:
  • Previously operated a home inspection company and knew how to spot problems.
  • Understood and easily navigated on-line resources by which our search was directed.  That saved time and made our search thorough.
  • .Knew what he was doing.  We soon realized this was not his first rodeo.
• Punctual.  He was never late for a meeting with us.
• Good natured.  He always seemed “up” and displayed a great sense of humor.
• Well organized.  He:
  • Identified the listings of interest before each of our meetings.
  • Arranged to have the properties open for us and ready to show.
  • Picked up at our next meeting right where we had left off, despite weeks-long gaps.
  • Remembered our reactions to the properties we’d seen and honed his subsequent property selections accordingly.
  • Never let things drag, but kept us moving forward.
  • Is great at following-up.  He does not lose track of details and does not take long to act.
• Knowledgeable.  He:
  • Knew and pointed out neighborhood characteristics that we might like or dislike.
  • Seemed to know every community on the lake in detail.
  • Knows how to negotiate and is not afraid to start with a fair offer, even if it might offend the seller.
• Creative.  He threw in a few properties that spiced things up and gave us some new ideas.
• Tireless.  We hit our limit of places to see in a day well before he did.
• A nice guy.

 

We recommend Chuck Stanley as a Lake Tahoe area realtor with pleasure and without any reservations.
