Dear Martina,

This is just a quick note to thank you for the great job you did in getting to a successful sale of our house last month.

Anne and I both very much appreciate the professionalism you demonstrated in the whole process, from providing and interpreting a ton of current data relating to pricing, to providing good counsel on what needed to be done to make the house more attractive to potential buyers. And I believe after following your suggestions, we were much further ahead.  As well, we very much appreciate how well you kept us informed as far as what was going on from your side through the selling process.  It was encouraging.

The management of the offer/counteroffer process was another very well handled component of the deal conclusion. Managing expectations is difficult at best and strategy execution on your part was very well done. Patience might be your middle name!

Although at our first meeting we were waffling about the timing of “when to go to market”, it is now very obvious that your sense of the market and gentle push to “get going” was well founded and correct.

So, a very big thank you for a very fast and as low stress as possible job that was enjoyable and well done.  Thanks.

It was also nice to meet the “sign guy”!  And Jesse says thanks as well!

Yours truly,

Bob and Anne Ireland

Dear Martina,

Our apologies for the delay of this recommendation; this letter is long overdue.

When Carolyn recommended you to us, we were confident that we were in safe hands to find our new home. But you went beyond all our expectations in helping us finding the right place in Richmond Hill.

Throughout the entire house-buying process we have been impressed with your thoroughness, kindness, honesty and knowledge. You were always there for us and in the process educated us a lot. It will be our pleasure to recommend you to anyone wanting to buy or sell real estate.

We have consistently found you to be most pleasant, sincere and honest in all of our dealings. We still admire your patience in showing more than 70 properties before we made our mind.  It is because of these fine qualities, that I am confident that we may work together again in the near future.

Not to forget, thanks a lot for driving us around while viewing properties and for being thoughtful about my mother when she used to accompany us.

Your pleasant personality, unbelievable patience, negotiation capabilities, attention to detail and dependability are the things that made us very  comfortable during the process and  we would be honored to recommend you as an agent to friends and family should the opportunity present itself.

Regards

Radha Madle

Hi Martina,

We meant to get this to you sooner, but we have been busy…..

We were very happy to have Martina as our agent for both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our current home.  Her goal was to help us find a house that met our wants and needs.  She wasn’t pushy and out to make a quick sale, but instead displayed her patience in finding a house that was suitable for us.  Martina provided good advice on both purchasing the new house and selling our current house.  If we are ever in a situation where we are looking to move again, we would turn to Martina first to help us with the sale/purchase.  For personalized and dedicated service, we would certainly recommend Martina.

Thanks,

Carolyn and Alan

To whom it may concern,

I am pleased to provide this reference letter to Martina and Rosti Brankovsky of Sutton Bayview.

I had a condominium suite for sale at 1818 Bayview Ave, Toronto, for three months with another real estate brokerage.  During all of that period there were only a total of three showings and no mention of an offer.  I had to initiate any dialogue with the salesperson.

After that listing expired I listed with Martina and Rosti of Sutton Bayview and through their proactive marketing efforts there were 8 showings in less than one week!  I am impressed with how fast they were able to create interest in the property.  Potential Buyer’s situations and comments were attained by Martina and Rosti then flowed through to me.  I very much felt engaged in the process and not forgotten and neglected as I had with the prior salesperson.

Under Martina and Rosti’s guidance and counsel I was able to make informed decisions regarding the negotiations when an offer came in on the condominium.

I am very impressed with their level of professionalism and commitment to their profession.

I would highly recommend them and my only regret is that I did not list with them in the first place.

Yours truly,

Wayne McCracken

Dear Martina,

Once again, I would like to thank you for the truly outstanding job you did selling my parents’ home last week.

Just as you did three years ago when you sold my home, your experience and professionalism were, once again, pivotal in achieving a fantastic sale in such a short time.

It’s easy to look back and reflect on how smooth things went but that’s only because of the work and effort that you put in ahead of the sale.

Given the healthy market, and the delicate task of dealing with and minimizing the stress on my elderly parents, your advice to price the house realistically to encourage a quick sale proved to be a sound and effective strategy resulting in no less than six offers within 48 hours of listing.

Completing the sale within that same timeframe was equally impressive.  Your organization and handling of the multiple offers was done fairly and respectfully with regards to all agents and clients involved.

In the end, it wasn’t difficult for my parents to accept an unconditional offer with a sale price of more than 10% of asking and a closing date that suited their needs perfectly.

Congratulations on a wonderful job.

Ken McMillan
