4th Transaction and Still Happy – Review

Here’s my favorite kind of testimonial, from a repeat client. I try hard not to take people for granted, and to work equally hard on each transaction, regardless of whether a client is new or long standing. This tells me, so far so good 🙂

This is my 4th transaction with Stephanie. I selected Stephanie, because of her extensive experience of the market; and once again, a big thanks to her on the purchase of my home!  Stephanie is very personable and responsive to my needs.  She kept me informed during the entire process, handling all of the issues from contract negotiation, inspections, obtaining surveys, working with the lender…all the way to closing, representing my interests throughout.  Everything went smoothly, and I definitely recommend her representing potential buyers/sellers as she goes beyond all expectations of a real estate agent.  Thank you again Stephanie for all your hard work and high professionalism with my home buying experience !

Glad a Close Friend Referred Her – Review

Here’s a testimonial from a couple I really enjoyed working with. Like so many people, they had done a lot of looking and learning online, but the rubber hits the road when it comes to the real purchase. They knew this, and did all the right things as we moved forward together. Thanks for the kind review guys!

For over a year we searched for homes on the popular search websites and would meet with random realtors to show homes we were interested in. We were a little weary choosing a realtor because we didn’t want to be taken advantage of or treated like we didn’t know anything about the home buying process. A close friend referred Stephanie to us and told us great things about her recent help in selling their current home and purchasing a new one. She said Stephanie was very knowledgeable and straight forward. Once we met with Stephanie we found that this couldn’t be truer! She is a full time realtor and has many years of experience. This was evident in her knowledge of current changes in the rules and regulations involving the mortgage and loan process. She was also very knowledgeable with building codes and what will pass for inspection for insurance purposes. This was very helpful for us as the house we eventually purchased needed some updates prior to closing. Stephanie was able to negotiate the home improvements and we had a near trouble free closing because of it. If you are looking for a house and want a hard-working realtor, she will give you 110% to make sure you are happy with your new home; we sure are!

First Class Experience – Review

I always appreciate testimonials from property investors, and here’s another rewarding one from some recent activity.

I met Stephanie when my partners and I were selling an investment home and she represented the buyer. Stephanie and I worked hand in hand to complete the transaction and it was a great experience, first class to be exact. We were so impressed with her hard work, knowledge and expertise that we hired her to find our next project, which she did in ONE day!!!

I have met many really good realtors in the past, Stephanie is one of the best. Prompt, attentive and passionate!!

Keep up the great work Stephanie!!!

Change of Brokerage

I was pleased to send this letter out yesterday, announcing my change of brokerage. This is an exciting move forward for me and my clients.

I’m delighted to tell you that I was invited to join the Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate brokerage, and I accepted.

This doesn’t change any of my contact information:

The only difference you’ll notice is that my business office address is now different and the Coldwell Banker name and logo have replaced Charles Rutenberg in my communications.

I’ve enjoyed my tenure at Rutenberg very much, but as I continue to grow my business I need more national and international exposure to help my clients, and this marketing power is what Coldwell Banker can offer me.

Useful as this marketing exposure is, people are what really matter in real estate. This is especially true in today’s market, where shifting conditions require strong bonds of trust and commitment between principal and agent.

You are still my principal, and I desire only to serve you to my utmost as your agent, in whatever real estate transactions you or any of your friends or family may require. I look forward to maintaining this relationship with you for many years to come.

Talk soon!

Three Transactions and Still Happy – Review

This is a nice testimonial. There’s no better recommendation than repeat business. Loyalty between client and agent is very valuable to me, and something I work hard to achieve with each transaction. It doesn’t come from taking things for granted.

Stephanie has handled three transactions for my family. The purchase and sale of our daughters home and the purchase of the home my wife and I now live in. In all 3 incidences Stephanie handled them flawlessly. She knows how to get you the best deal whether you’re buying or selling. When my wife retires in a year or so and we put our house up for sale we’ll be sure to give her a call. — C.B. on Zillow

No Settling For Less – Review

Sweet clients offer sweet testimonials. This one makes me feel good. Some people are a pleasure to work with.

When my husband and I decided we were ready to buy a house my Uncle urged us to consider contacting “his” realtor, Stephanie Passman. It may be the best advice I’ve ever listened to. We needed a house perfect for our family in a neighborhood and school zone perfect for our children. We had a modest budget and knew we wouldn’t get our dream home, but hoped we could find something we would be proud to raise our family in. Stephanie took on the challenge immediately and was with us every step of the way. She understood both what we wanted and what we needed and was determined to help us get just that. I was always aware that she could have spent her time showing houses to folks looking in a much healthier price range, but she never made us feel less important or like a waste of her time. She made us feel quite the opposite. We feel like she made it personal. Our needs and wants mattered to her and she wouldn’t let us settle for less. And we didn’t settle for less. We found a house that meets our needs and wants beautifully. We found our home. I can’t thank Stephanie enough and only hope that something I’ve said will convince you that she is the right realtor to help you find your perfect home. She is fun to work with and knows her stuff. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone. If we ever decide to sell our home she will be the person we call. — B.T.
