Rick and Amy Doty
My wife Amy and I had the pleasure of first meeting Beckie during in August of 2007. While visiting friends in a development close to our existing home, we noticed a house for sale which had great curb appeal. Our home was not for sale at the time and we had no plans to purchase a new home.
On a whim we called Beckie and asked to see this particular listing. We were impressed with her style, knowledge and profes sionalism. Her demeanor was relaxed and we never felt any pressure to steer us in any direction.
We had no agent representing us at the time. We felt comfortable enough with Beckie to forgo the assistance of a buyer's agent. The negotiations progressed. There were bumps in the road that we had to deal with and Beckie kept her cool the entire time. Sh e made the deal happen. My wife and I and the sellers were very happy with the way Beckie assisted all of us. I have purchased and sold eleven houses in my life. This transaction was one of the smoothest I can remember.
When we signed the contract for our new home, our existing home was not for sale. We did not know we were going to purchase a new home. Every house I had sold previously I did so "BY OWNER". I never saw the value in using a real estate agent. Beckie changed my mind completely.
We enlisted Beckie to sell our existing home. She had several different sales plans at several different price points. Her most extravagant plan provided far more services than I thought any Agent would do and it is about a third cheaper than what other real estate agents charge for basic services. It was a slam dunk no brainer in our opinion.
Beckie went to work immediately and so did we. She told us what she felt we needed t o do to our home to make it as attractive as possible to potential buyers. Everything she suggested made sense and we did as she suggested.
This was the fall of 2007 when the real estate market took a severe turn for the worst. Beckie kept her cool the entire time. She always kept a very positive attitude in the face of a severe down turn in the real estate market. We had a solid contract in about 46 days at a price we were extremely happy with. The closing went flawlessly.
Beckie is a professional. She can sell your home and she will negotiate a deal on your new home that will save you far more than the cost of her services. The icing on the cake is Beckie makes what could be a nightmare experience become a very pleasurable one. I will never buy or sell another home without using the services of Becky Townsend.
Signed, Rick Doty
