What Are
People
Saying About Me?
Diane,
Linda and I can not thank you enough for
the fantastic job you did finding our new home. When Linda found your website
and noted the comprehensive detail you provide prospective owners and then our
subsequent meeting to discuss the area we where extremely impressed with your
knowledge and candor. Dealing with real estate agents for the past 25 years in
many transactions it is seldom that you find an agent that truly has their
client's interest foremost and the professional experience to back up all the
details that arise. I only wish I could have found someone like you 25 years
ago, my real estate dealings would have been as effortless as this one. Please
feel free to have any of your future clients contact us, it would be our
pleasure to discuss why you are the only agent we will work with in future
transactions. Best Regards, David and Linda Force

To Whom It May
Concern:
2001 was a tumultuous year for most.
Any, and or all of us, needed some stability with which we could connect.
Be it the events or 9/11, or, in our case, the loss of a job; the move from one
location to another; kidney stones; or simply falling off a 20 ft ladder…
Fortunately, we found our stability just when we really needed it the most--at
a time when the stakes were high and the consequences could have been
financially severe. Much to our surprise, that stability came in the form of
our REMAX realtor--a first-class lady by the name of Diane Sarkisian! She was
the one person in whom we ultimately decided to put all of our faith and
trust--to not only sell our home for that proverbial top dollar, but to then
also turn around and find us the "home of our dreams" during the same week at
(obviously) the lowest possible purchase price!! Oh, and by the way, she was
also the person that rapidly earned both our admiration and our respect!
Reputation said this lady was good--but
she had to prove it to us! My wife and I are not the easiest people to
please--and, unfortunately, "micro-managing" has always been a way of life for
us. But, with finesse, Diane took charge--held open houses; used her in-depth
resources to target our home to a very focused market; invited her extensive
circle of "realty professionals" in to help "publicize" our lovely home; and
even gave us decorating pointers such that our home would show itself off in
the most favorable light! …and let us not forget to mention that she would
always come by (at least once a week) to give us her "everything is going to
workout fine…just trust me," speech! Indeed, Diane adjusted nicely to all
of that and never failed to reassure us whenever she sensed we needed it.
Handing over such a "responsibility" as
awesome as the "sale of our home" to someone else wasn't easy for either one of
us…but, Diane Sarkisian minimized that apprehension and made our
journey into the unknown as stress-free as possible. If you are looking for a
hands-on, aggressive, and knowledgeable real estate professional--one that
always provides you with a "touch-of-class" at no extra charge, then you
certainly could not go wrong by selecting Diane Sarkisian to be your realtor.
From personal experience, I can assure you that she will ease your concerns and
make your transition from one home to another as pleasant as it could possibly
be.

Dear Diane:
I was very impressed by the professional
manner in which you handled the recent real estate settlement involving this
office. I especially noted that you took a great deal of time in conducting
research on the value of the comparables in order to obtain the best price for
our client. I know that your past experience as a paralegal has been of
particular benefit to you. I will be pleased to recommend you to any of my
clients and also to other members of the Bar.

Dear Diane:
Lynn and I want to express our sincerest
appreciation for your excellent job in selling our home. You sold for the
price we needed and within the time constraints necessary to complete the
purchase of our new home. This was done at a time when the real estate market
was at its worst in many, many years.
It is our absolute belief that the sale
of our home was due directly to your marketing techniques and sales acumen.
During the time you had our listing, there were eight homes for sale in our
neighborhood. Ours was the first to sell; several of those homes are still for
sale today, four months after we went to agreement and two months
post-settlement.
Without hesitation I commend your
services to any person or family who is thinking of selling their home.
Lynn and I thank you for your wonderful work.

To Whom It May Concern:
My husband, Fran, and I are writing this
letter of reference for DIANE SARKISIAN with great pleasure. She
represented us in the purchase of our present home in Rydal and also helped us
sell our old house in Jenkintown. She is the quintessential professional, as
well as being an extremely interesting person with a delightful
personality.
We had a few very tense moments in the
process of negotiating the purchase of our new home. She had to deal with a
highly unprofessional real estate agent and never once lost her
professionalism. We were extremely fortunate to have her as our
representative.
In the sale of our home, she gave us
excellent advice about showing our house, which we followed to our great good
luck. We sold our house within 7 weeks, when other houses that were for
sale at that time a year ago are still on the market. We give Diane a lot of
credit for the speed with which our house was sold.
In summary, she is a highly ethical
person, the ultimate professional and a delight to know. We like to think
of her as a friend. We have, and will continue to do so, recommended her to
friends as the best real estate agent they could have in selling or buying a
home.
Sincerely,
Eve C. Swiacki
Diane:
My husband and I would like to express
our heartfelt thanks to you for the superb service you provided us in
coordinating the purchase of our new house. Your excellent attention to
detail, timely response to all questions, unquestionable professionalism,
dedication, willingness to do more than your share of the responsibilities and
patience is indeed greatly appreciated.
These qualities and others you
displayed were much needed in this very complicated and stressful transaction.
It was clear even from the onset that you were distinctly different from
the other realtors, and we are glad we chose you.
Personally, I feel I even gained a
friend in the process. There is no question in our minds that the quality
of your service is indeed among the best.
Many thanks
Diane!
Best regards,

Dear Diane,
I just wanted to thank you for
everything you did to help us sell our home. You are a real estate
professional in every sense of the word. Both Suzi and I appreciated how you
took the time to get to know our home and worked within the constraints of our
schedules. We were both impressed by your thoroughness and how well you
communicated with us over the past month.
As you know, our house was on the
market three months with another realty company, and it was not moving toward a
sale. Needless to say I was not in the best of spirits when we first met.
Your patience and no-nonsense approach to marketing and selling our house
reduced my apprehension and inspired confidence in your ability. You informed
me you could sell the house within two or three months. In less than one month
you sold our house at a reasonable price! Now that is a performance, especially
in the flat housing market in our area.
Diane, both Suzi and I want you to know
that when we hear of anyone looking to buy or sell a home, we will be sure to
recommend you. RE/MAX Realty is very fortunate to have someone with your
talents associated with their firm.
Again, thank you for all your help and
our best wishes for your continued success.
Sincerely yours,
Christopher E. Bork
Dear Diane,
In today's American Business scene,
there is an evolution taking place from a manufacturing economy to a service
economy. In the future, the differentiating factor for companies is going
to be the tangible and intangible quality of the service they provide. I want
to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank you for the quality of
service you provided to Jeanne and me in selling our home.
As a Sales Manager for a Fortune 50
company, I appreciate the focus you had on ensuring that every step of our
transaction was handled as smoothly as possible. I personally attribute
your thoroughness and attention to detail as the reason we sold our home in 13
days and the reason we settled in less than 30 minutes. It is your personal
commitment to excellence that allowed these things to
happen.
Again, thank you for your performance.
Whenever I have the opportunity to recommend a realtor to any of my friends
and acquaintances, I will certainly think of you first. I wish you continued
success in your career and ask that you call me if I can be of any assistance
to you.
Best regards,
Richard T. Hisey
Diane,
You and I are alike in many respects. We
both hold a great appreciation for being the best at what you do while
maintaining mutual respect; we both have an appreciation for fine cars, music
and homes. Most importantly, have all of these appreciations and "desires"
while still holding onto that which made us into the people we are
today.
This house sale process has been an arduous
task for me. I generally haven't failed at anything in my life. I've been
doubted on many occasions but always found it within myself to rise above and
beyond the expectations. In the first couple of months with the house sitting
without any offers, I really felt that everything I had done in improving the
house was a waste. I felt like I had failed. You, however, always stood behind
me and Michele telling us to remain confident. "It will all work out". Sitting
here on this first "morning after", I feel really relieved and ready to take on
the world. Michele and I owe that to you and your relentless efforts. You truly
are a shiny star.
You know I always tout your name in the
marketplace and hope that my regard ends up providing many many leads down the
road for people buying and selling. You will certainly be the one handling all
of my real estate ventures!
Here's to your successes and your being an
incredible, honest and patient soul.
God bless,
Joe
