Sometimes A Testimonial Will Leave you Humbled

A testimonial From A Repeat Client

 

Sometimes A Testimonial Will Leave you HumbledI had a client close on their Cheshire CT home recently, after waiting for the buyer to close on their home as well. After 3 years in their new home, the family was forced to relocate because of a job promotion. It was a good thing for the fmily, but it could have been a negative as they did not have much tine to appreciate their new home, much less gain significant equity.

They had done a lot of work to make the home comfortable for them and the challenge was to get it sold and to not have a large deficiency that needed to be satisfied at closing.

All this was accomplished, most likely because the buyers recognized there was a lot of value to the house.

As is my routine, I had made donations to some charities in my client's names, and they received the cards of acknowledgment in the mail. They did take the time to send a thank you note along with a testimonial offering their feelings on the service they received. I offer as follows:

 


I have worked with Ed Silva twice - once in 2009 when my husband and I sold our home in West Hartford, CT to purchase a home in Cheshire, CT.  The second time was in 2014 when we had to move out of state and needed to sell our home in Cheshire.  Ed was our realtor for all 3 transactions and we couldn’t be happier.

 

In all transactions Ed was organized, thorough, and personable. He offered us an objective viewpoint on each house we toured, thereby helping us with our decisions. We found him to be knowledgeable about aspects of realty that surpassed just the legalities of buying and selling properties, and furthermore we were consistently impressed by his willingness to research questions he couldn't answer right away. He was always expedient in returning our calls, searching for properties, and setting up tours.

When we were living out of state and had to sell our home in Cheshire, Ed went above and beyond the call of duty making sure that our home and property were well maintained for showings.  Ed was instrumental at helping us navigate through a long distance sale and we couldn’t have done it without his help and knowledge of navigating through some issues we encountered with the inspection.

I absolutely recommend Ed Silva to anybody looking to buy or sell a home.  CH

 

I have received good thoughts from many of my clients in the past, but this speaks to the purpose of why we do what we do and the appreciation for doing it right.
