"I wanted to thank Coldwell Banker but especially Bob Widing on closing the sale of my home at 277 Calle Esperanza...I live in Conneticut now, and when I decided I had to sell the property back in April, I picked up the phone and called Bob. His phone number is always accessible.......Since I was very happy with the two other deals he handled, there was no hesitation on my part on working with him again....You probably remember the details, but the property was in escrow within one week and closed in 30 days. It was a record selling price for the Hope Village development....He is very savvy with information technology and this gives him an edge over other realtors. I was amazed a how much we accomplished without my being there....Also, like in the other transactions, he kept my worries to a minimum..."

I wanted to express my complete satisfaction in which Bob and his team handled the sale. He was very attentive to scheduling showings, inspections around our schedules, and our dogs! Bob did an excellent job on following up on all aspects of our escrow in handling the details that we all know are crucial to a successful close.

Angela Berenstein

"I've heard that buying a house can be a stressful experience, but you've made this cross-country relocation virtually stress-free! (I think the only stress we've encountered was the week we were choosing the house, and that was primarily from lack of sleep due to jet lag and excitement.) Thank you for all of your work so far, we are so grateful you have made our first home-buying experience a pleasant one!"

Ellen Sesma

"I've said this will be my last move, but I'm sure when we decide to move, probably in another 10 years (?) we will certainly have Bob represent us."
