I have had the privilege of working with many realtors over the years, but one stands out far and above the rest, as THE BEST.

Three years ago, I came to Scottsdale to begin looking for a home.  It was my exceptional good fortune to meet Terry Forsberg with ReMax.  Terry spent 2 days driving my wife and myself around, getting us acquainted with the Scottsdale area.  He showed us many houses, but it was just not our time to purchase.

Over the next three years Terry would send us lists of properties that would meet our needs.  In November 2007, we decided it was time to make the move.  We contacted Terry and he showed us about 25 homes.  We made a decision to purchase one.  This is when Terry really began to impress us.  At every turn along the process Terry was there, doing much more than anyone could expect a Realtor to do.  He made arrangements for the home inspection, was there when the home was inspected, and stayed on top of things while the needed repairs were being done.  Terry made numerous calls to the other Realtor, to keep her on track.  This was very unnerving at times.  Terry made numerous trips to the house to make sure that everything was being done, and being done in a timely and professional manner.  Terry put us in contact with home warranty companies, lenders, insurance agents and title companies.  We were never in doubt, that he was in charge, and that we were going to have a smooth closing.  When the time for closing came, again Terry was there making sure that everything was right.

After the close of escrow, Terry was so kind as to give us a gift certificate at one of our favorite stores.  In actuality, it is us that should have been giving him the gift certificate for everything he did for us.

If there were a award for Realtor of the year, I would certainly nominate Terry Forsberg.

I would refer anyone I knew to Terry, because I could be confident that he would go way over and above what was expected of him as a Realtor, to serve his clients.

Helen Hankins and Mike Mauser-

The purpose of this letter is to express our appreciation for the excellent work that you did as our realtor in Phoenix, Arizona.  We have bought and sold several houses in several states in the last twenty years.  While our experiences with realtors have generally been positive, we feel that you have been one of the best to work with.

Because we moved to Phoenix from a relatively small, rural town, we were not fully prepared for the cost of houses with the attributes and location that we desired.  We appreciated your near-endless patience in showing us more than 50 houses in various neighborhoods within a six mile radius of downtown Phoenix.  As our understanding of the market increased, our ideas and interests evolved.  You did a great job in adapting to our modifications in what we wanted.

We also really appreciated your willingness to research questions we had about local taxes, historic districts, CC&Rs, and other questions.  Because we are non unseasoned buyers, we wanted to make sure that the many concerns we had were addressed.  

Your knowledge of house construction, code requirements, termite infestation concerns and other practical information was beneficial to us in our deliberations.

While your patience, knowledge, energy, and flexibility were all very important to us, I think the thing we most valued was your integrity, and your professional ethics.  For us those are the most critical characteristics that a realtor should possess – and you do in full measure. 

Of course, it was a great bonus that you are a great guy and fun to hang out with while we were looking for a new home.

Thanks for the great job you did for us and for going far more than the extra mile in your work with us.

From the beginning, you were proactive about getting started and were quick to return my phone calls. You understood the market and what needed to be done. You carried through to the end when the builder needed to make final repairs and were slow to do so, you kept them moving to get the deal closed.

Thank you for your expertise, diligence and pleasant attitude!!

Cindy Schendel-

I could of never done this without you.

I will with my utmost pleasure recommend you to anyone who is interested in selling or purchasing a home. You exemplify the word "professional". Your realty team has an great asset in having you.
