A Hawaii First Time Home Buyer - Client Testimonial in VIDEO

There are no two real estate transactions that are alike and the reason being is because every transaction has different people involved in it. No matter what, when everyone works together as a team there will be positive results. ALWAYS.

My clients flew in from California on Saturday and I wrote about Hawaii Military Relocation Clients Being Proactive! Briefly, he searched the internet during his tour in Iraq and kept finding ME all over it for the search terms entered. He came back to the states last month, they went to Disneyland and then they called me. This was two weeks ago.

Preapproved and looking at listings, they want to put in an offer...that is accepted last Wedesday. They immediately made reservations to fly over and they arrived on Friday which of course I picked them up and took them to the home for their first peek.

THEY LOVED IT!

Yesterday we did the home inspection with American Certified Home Inspections and everything turned out great. Then they drove over to Kaneohe Marine Corp Air Station and then to meet with the Loan Officer. They are taking advantage of their VA Guaranteed Loan and you can read more here>> This Realtors® Perspective: Hawaii Military & the VA Loan

Since my clients were all game for the video testimonial I turned on the FLIP VIDEO ..............and it sure makes a difference to hear it!

The following video was filmed and viewable online with signed permission from my clients. BTW: They told me that all the time we were talking long distance that they would crack up when I cracked up laughing. Okay...watch this:

Happy Hawaii Relocation Clients

I love these stories. This one especially touched my heart as they are a couple that sacrificed so much. He, while in service to our country, and she was keeping the home fires burning.

Oh my. It's a teary eyed day for me today reading these wonderful articles.

Sally: Love the idea. What a way to show your future clients your level of service and tech savvy. I am sure your clients were thrilled as well to be given the opportunity (now you will not have to hound them for a written testimonial). Hope the transaction goes well.
