Trauma & Anxiety Averted!
Joe was thinking of buying his first home, but had some serious concerns.
"As a first time buyer, I was completely in the dark about the entire process...I had heard many horror stories from friends and co-workers" A large purchase like this could have been traumatic, and filled with anxiety.
Joe described how Ira & Carol Serkes helped him: "The two of you put me at ease...I want to sincerely thank you for your diligent and conscientious efforts on my behalf. I knew I was well represented in all negotiations. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone in search of a home."

Smooth Transaction With Cats & Dogs
Louise and Jeff were relocating from Golden. Colorado...and had some special needs
"I want to thank your for the wonderful job you did in helping us buy the right home in Berkeley.
House hunting is difficult in the best of circumstances, but it can be overwhelming when trying to do it from another state as we did coming from Colorado.
We appreciated your availability when we would fly in on short notice and your patience with the numerous difficulties we encountered in our various offers. We particularly appreciated the extra distance you went to make the transition as smooth as possible for our cats and dog.
If we decided to move again in the Berkeley area, we will definitively call on you"

It was a big decision to change Realtors
Jean and Larry had a big problem Æ they had to sell their home! They'd bought a new house, and their loan had to be paid off in just a few months. 463 Arlington hadn't sold after 99 days on the market....so they turned to us.
"Thanks for selling our home. We had many things on our minds. Moving is a big job after living in a home for 32 years. We liked our previous real estate person, however our house wasnØt selling. It was a big decision to change Realtors, believe me.
You people studied, investigated, presented charts and other information in a form that meant much more than the previous Realtor. You are courteous, business-like, and friendly. It was a relief to have it sell so quickly.
We will recommend you to anyone. It was a pleasure doing business with you."

Things really began to happen fast!
My granddaughter found a home for sale very close to hers, and contacted her RE/MAX Realtor about it. Her Realtor immediately contacted Ira and Carol Serkes. We listed the house with them, and then things really began to happen fast!
There were times Betty & I became quite nervous doing everything by phone, facsimile, and overnight mail, but Ira and Carol were always right there and seemed to say the right things to assure us that everything was moving as it should. In addition, besides helping us sell the house here, they helped us purchase the house in Florida by coming out to my home and help me complete the paperwork on the buy!
We feel Ira and Carol are not only professional and knowledgeable, but like friends. We are completely satisfied, especially with the advice given about the financial part of the transaction. We highly recommend Ira & Carol Serkes to anyone who is in need of real estate professionals.
