"We are extremely satisfied clients of Gena Riede, one of the very best Realtors ever! We met Gena at an Open House in Elk Grove, CA while on our honeymoon in August 2002 (coincidentally about 2.5 miles from where we recently purchased our new home!). We established a fruitful, long-distance (my wife and I were Chicago residents at that time) professional relationship with Gena, as well as a warm and lasting personal friendship. Despite numerous setbacks over a five-year period, (including four years of renting while waiting for the local housing market to regain sanity) Gena worked with us to find the right house, in the right location, for the right price, at the right time. Also through her business association with an honest, savvy and prudent real estate loan broker, we found the right mortgage that meets our financial situation perfectly.

************************************************************

Throughout our long trek towards our goal of owning a home again, Gena not only provided excellent service as our agent, she is/was a stalwart partner in that process. She reinforced our resolve when things were most difficult---health issues; job & career issues...whatever obstacles to home ownership that arose.

*****************************************************************

There is no greater blessing than for the Lord to accomplish His Divine Will through the diligence, faith and hard work of a dedicated professional like Gena Riede. Home ownership is more than just "The American Dream" : it is -in part-the glue that holds this diverse nation together. We need more Realtors, more people like Gena who put real

people--- common folks like us, first!

If we ever know of anyone who sincerely wants to buy or sell a home, only one name will be spoken: Gena Riede."

"Gena is a Realtor that sincerely cares about her clients. She stays on top of all transactions, is very dependable, and continually keeps her clients informed.  Gena has high ethics, gives honest opinions, and gives her clients excellent advice on how to prepare their home for sale.  She is always available to answer questions or address concerns. If we still lived in the California area and were interested in buying or selling a home, we would definitely hire Gena again. She is a top-notch Realtor!"

"Gena helped us buy our first house four years ago. She was extremely thorough in her search to help us find the perfect place to call home and worked diligently to provide us with comprehensive information on everything from mortgage to location information. We were so thrilled with how she handled all of the details from start to finish that when we were ready to move again, we called Gena to help us sell and buy our next home. She has also continued to be an excellent resource for us even after we are settled into our home, providing numbers of people who can provide services such as painting or keeping us up to date on the current real estate trends.  We recommended several friends to Gena who have successfully also bought and sold homes through her. She is a very dedicated, supportive, enthusiastic, informative, and intelligent realtor and anyone utilizing her services is very fortunate."

" Thanks Gena for all your help the past few years! When we were ready to purchase our first home, you helped my wife and I find the perfect place.  And when we needed to sell a few years later, again, you were there to help us through the process and get our home sold in a timely manner.  We couldn't be much happier with the service you provided."

Thanks Again!

"Gena represented my wife and I in the purchase of our home in El Dorado Hills.  Gena is a very respectful and a responsive person to your Real Estate needs 24/7.  Gena gets answers to your Real Estate and Financial questions immediately.

My wife and I relocated from San Jose and closed our Real Estate purchase in 30 days.

When we decide to move again, we will seek Gena's advice and expertise and will ask her to be our Real Estate realtor/broker."

Sincerely,

Mr. & Mrs. Cousineau

"Gena is the first and only real estate agent we have met that fully understands every aspect of the buy/sell process - - I know that may sound silly, but in a sea of agents Gena really stands out from the crowd.  We never doubt her advice for a moment!  Plus, her customer service attitude and work ethic go unmatched."

"In selling my home, I could not have asked for a better Realtor than Gena!  I was impressed by her enthusiasm, thoroughness, and complete availability during the whole process.  She was totally involved, every step of the way, to ensure that things went smoothly, and the sale was completed with very little effort on my part.  I didn't realize that selling a home could be so easy!!  I cannot recommend Gena highly enough!"

All the best!

"We have known Gena for four years and she has helped us buy our first home, sell our first home and purchase our second home.  Not only is Gena professional, very knowledgeable and a real advocate for her clients, but she has quickly become a part of our family because of her kindness and compassion.  The most impressive thing about Gena is that her job doesn't end when you have signed the papers and have moved into your new home.  Gena always makes herself available to her clients in order to answer questions or help in any way she can.  Gena truly cares about her clients and doing what is in their best interest."

"I have used Gena for both buying and selling a home. Because Gena was so "on-the-ball" for me when I was buying my first home, I did not hesitate to call her when I was ready to sell.  During the selling transaction, we ran into a few obstacles due to the buyer and buyer's realtor, and Gena was quick to do all in her power to move the deal along in the speediest and smoothest way for me.  I recommend Gena to any one out there considering buying or selling a home!"          

MS- a happy client

"Gena is the ultimate professional. She has assisted me with two different real estate transactions and both times went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that my best interests were at the forefront and that my needs and desires were met. She spent countless hours working out details of contracts and helping facilitate parts of the processes that would have otherwise fallen through the cracks. If I hadn¿t moved out of state the last time, I would always rely on Gena for my real estate needs."

"In 2002/2003, my husband and I sold 2 homes with Gena's assistance.  She was always there with her assistance and very candid with suggestions to improve the saleability of our homes.  She kept in contact and kept us updated continuously.  When we decided to purchase a home in the Foothills, we, of course, went back to Gena.  When we plan to sell our current home, we definitely plan to go back to Gena !!"
