Malihe, you are the dearest, no doubt! Thank you for all your help in achieving my goal of purchasing condo at the LBK. I appreciate all your hard work, you far exceeded my expectations, made everything very easy and allowed me to fully trust in your work. I appreciate your strong market knowledge of the LBK area, your excellent negotiation skills buyer/seller became an invaluable resource in my closing transaction. The innate understating you possess of the value-of-time executing services promptly but also your professional advice even including providing access to personal computer----in order to file time sensitive required applications made it all possible for me. You went far beyond anything I could have needed and expected. Without your commitment and professionalism I could not have accomplished my purchase of the most beautiful unique beach condo with the magnificent view in the two-week time. You made my vacation pay-off so handsomely!
Malihe, you are a busy successful agent yet you dropped everything when I casually asked you about condos for sale in the complex. You offered to show me one that very minute. The condo was so artfully decorated (by you) that we fell in love that instant. It was a multiple offer situation and, we ultimately were able to purchase the unit. You remembered that we had asked about a particular type of unit and when one became available, you let us know immediately. Again, we fell in love and you expeditiously prepared a full-price offer which the Seller accepted. We considered keeping the first unit we had purchased but ultimately decided to sell it instead. You handled that sale expeditiously as well, getting us a higher price than what we had paid. Throughout these experiences, you were always prompt in responding to our many questions. We always felt that we were in good hands and that your many years of real estate experience would solve any problems we encountered. Thank you for your top-quality professional help and your always courteous manner.
Ms. Karimi is highly professional, creative, and motivated to sell a property.She is also, very kind, cheerful, and respectful of the people with whom she is involved. I could not be more impressed with her assistance. Especially, I have a disability, Fibromyalgia; and she demonstrated appropriate patience and concern for my personal needs. Please know, I have dealt with realtors a number of times throughout my life - I am 72 years old. Malihe is the most outstanding of all of them. If she wanted to, she would be excellent as a mentor to people new to the profession. Thank you for a very satisfying experience. No wonder Michael Saunders is the best company in the area!
