 Dr. and Mrs. Pasquale G. Catanzarite, Clovis

I am writing to formally thank you for your professional and honest service in selling our home on Carolina Avenue.When we first decided to sell our home, we were really concerned about people walking through our house and having something stolen. We had never sold a home or done an open house and we didn’t know what to expect. When you came to meet with us and assured us that you would take extra precautions, we were truly thankful. We especially appreciated your wife, Sharon, who came with you (on her own time, I might add) and acted as a guard and a guide while you showed our house. Her amiable conversation and enthusiasm made my day! It was reassuring to have you both in our home and we are very grateful for your direct, guiding hand that helped us every step of the way, and the time you took to explain all of our many questions.

You brought in many interested buyers and our house sold in less than three weeks with three different offers coming in—that is amazing. Your professional attitude, personal treatment, real estate expertise, internet advertising and nurturing you gave me helped in our transitioning from one house to another. It was hard to leave our old home for the new home adventure awaiting us—but you made the passage convenient and understandable.

Just as an aside, the buyer of our house told me that Sharon helped convince her that my home was just the perfect home for her! Not only was Sharon protecting my home from theft, but she also contributed to its successful sale!

We will highly recommend your real estate services to all our friends and will definitely seek you out again if we have further need of professional and personable real estate agents.

 

Carolyn Childers, Clovis

A thousand Thank you’s can’t express my gratitude in your expertise professionalism in selling my home. Your experience in the real estate definitely shined thru.

It was a great relief when you met with the inspectors and repair people. With my working a 12 hour Night schedule, I did not have to interrupt my sleep pattern to take care of these matters. Multitude of gratitude for presenting me with figures and facts regarding the pricing of my home. Your insight presented me with an extra $15,000 my previous agent failed to bring forth to me. This extra money will greatly help in buying my next home in Washington.

Keeping me up-to-date on the progression of the escrow relieved any anxiety I might have had. It was a wonderful experience to have my 30 day escrow close in 25 days! With both of you keeping on top of matters, there were no last minute problems.

Again, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Good luck to you both in the future.

Skip and Rhonda Dieter, Clovis

Rhonda and I would like to express our gratitude for your efforts in the sale of our rental property.

Your market analysis and expertise of the real estate market assisted us in determining the asking price for our rental property. We attribute the quick sale to that proper market analysis.

Knowing that I tend to over analyze everything you had your work cut out for you, but you provided me with all of the necessary information in a timely manner and made sure that we understood everything you had provided us. Your responsiveness to all our questions and your commitment to detail was greatly appreciated.

Not only did you keep us informed of all showings that occurred at the property, but you followed up with the agents after they showed the home and provided us with the comments of the agent and their clients.

Your assistance with the scheduling of the termite and home inspections and coordination of all parties involved while I was out of town was greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to use us for a reference and we would be more than happy to talk with any potential clients to convey our sediments. We will be sure to recommend your services to our family and friends and will utilize your services in the upcoming months on our next real estate transactions.

Thanks again for making the sale of our home a positive experience.

 

Kathy Kelty, Clovis 

Thank you for making my Clovis home purchase such an enjoyable experience.

You were there within half an hour after I first saw your name on a sign in front of a home I was interested in seeing and giving you a call. After touring the house and deciding that was not the home I wanted to purchase, you put considerable effort into finding the right place for me, emailing numerous listings for me to look at and spending countless hours driving me around until I found “my house,” always cheerful in spite of my countless no’s.

After making an offer, the sale was completed and escrow closed quickly, with no snags along the way and all paperwork in order the first time around.

It was a pleasure working with such a thorough and professional agent – to say nothing of the fact you’re a nice guy to boot! I would highly recommend your services to anyone who is in need of an agent. I’m sure their experience would be as satisfying as mine.

 

Michael and Misty Morales, Sanger

Michael and I would just like to show our gratitude with this gift, for helping to make all our dreams come true and for being such a nice couple and an excellent business man with a great deal of dedication and it shows well. In the future we will always recommend you to our friends and acquaintances. I hope you and your wife Sharon enjoy this gift together and may god bless you and your family.

 

Jack Clark, Fresno

The reason for this letter is to tell you how pleased I am with your professionalism as my real estate agent. With each step of the sale of my dad's house you kept me informed and up to date with what was happening. I appreciate your efforts by keeping me informed with phone calls, trips to my workplace and home. You were very clear and concise in your communication with me and I always felt comfortable working with you.

I was so pleased with the great way you handled the sale of my dad's house and the selling price received for his house. You listed his house at $110,000 and in 7 days the offers that came in were all above the $110,000 asking price. Mark you advised me to take the offer that was made for $135,000, with a 30 day escrow. I was very happy with the offer and I took it.

Mark, I have told many friends how smooth the sales transaction on my dad's home went and I have recommend you as a professional, honest, caring, real estate agent.

Thank you so much, it was a pleasure doing business with you, I wish you the best in your career.

 

Troy & Alicia Christopher, Fresno

When we started looking for our house, I was 4 months pregnant with our first child. It was a very scary time for me because it was the first time that I had even thought about buying a house. It was going to be the largest purchase of our lives. At the time that we contacted Mark, we had already talked to 3 other Realtors who did not have the professionalism that Mark had.

We told Mark all of the things that we wanted in a house and gave him all of our qualifications. We could not afford the biggest house in town, but we were able to at least get a small house. With my husband and I both working nights, Mark was very conscious about the time of day he would call and set up appointments. My husband and I were kind of picky, but Mark never complained or gave us any less attention. Due to my pregnancy, and the fact that my father was very ill with cancer, I wanted to put off buying a house until things settled down a little, but my husband would not let me. I didn't know anything about buying a house, and Mark made it so easy by answering all of our questions any time that we called. He always called us back right away if we had questions or if we needed anything. When we finally found a house that we liked, Mark was very quick in doing all of the paperwork and get things all in order. We had all of the necessary inspections and walkthroughs that we needed in a reasonable amount of time in order to make our 30 day escrow. Three (3) days after our escrow closed, my father passed away from his illness. When Mark found that out, he sent a card to us with his sympathy. His part of the process was done, and he didn't have to even contact us again, but he did. He kept in touch after that to make sure that everything was going well, at least with the house. I felt that Mark really cared about my husband and I as people and not just as a customer. He made me feel very at ease with all of the paperwork and things that needed to be done when buying a house. I have recommended Mark to anyone that I know who is looking for a house. Mark is a very good people person and if his wife, Sharon, is anything like him, I know she will be very successful in the real estate business.

 

Pat & Debbie Barklow, Clovis

The purpose of this letter is to thank you for all that you have done for both Debbie and myself during our search for a new home. As you well know, we looked at so many homes, they all started to look exactly the same. But, because of your caring and professional attitude, we were able to find what we believe to be the right home for us.
Not having gone through this process before, we felt very comfortable with you as our representative. We put our trust in you, and you did a great job for us. We felt informed during the entire process and when we had a question, you got an answer for us. One of the things that both Debbie and I appreciated most about your service was that you kept our wants and desires in mind at all times. This made the experience less stressful than we anticipated.
Thank you for all that you have done for us. We have even recommended you to our friends and will continue to do so.

 

Jeff Roberts, Fresno

Mark & Sharon Pretzer are the best Realtor Agents ever. The transaction was a wonderful experience at a time in my life when I needed so much help. It was the sale of my mother’s home.

They were so instrumental in every detail. Their hands on method was comforting to say the least. They answered all of my questions this gave me more understanding about each step of the sale. They helped with the work that was needed on the house, such as being there to open the house up for the electrician & cleaning crew, when I could not be there. They were so helpful and very caring. Things were handled in timely manner; they walked me through every step in dealing with my mothers Estate, they were a life saver.

I have all the confidence in the world with the Pretzer Team. I have and always will continue to refer clients to them.

Thank you for the Great Service and help you’re not only a great Real Estate Agent but also a wonderful human being.

Josh & Roxanne Rogers, Clovis

We would like to take this opportunity to talk about the service we received from Mark and Sharon Pretzer during the sale of our home and purchase of a new home.  We enjoyed very much our working relationship with the Pretzers, and the professional service that they provided.  We were able to sell our house very quickly in a challenging market, and that's a testimony to their experience and knowlegdge.  Additionally, trying to purchase a real-estate-owned property (lender owned) proved to be a very difficult experience, with a lot of uncertainty and worry (none of which was the fault of Mark and Sharon).  While having to communicate with a multitude of different parties on the seller's side, the Pretzers kept us informed and up to date as best they could on a daily basis.  We know that the process would have taken quite a bit longer had it not been for Mark and Sharon's hard work and diligence.

All in all, we feel that we couldn't have done it without them and would highly recommend them to anyone planning to buy or sell a home.  It was a pleasure working with the Pretzers

 

Jared & Stacy Harder, Squaw Valley

Mark & Sharon Pretzer have been wonderful real estate agents.  They have personally taken their time to meet our needs as homebuyers.  They took time out of their busy days to meet with us at all hours that were convenient to us as future homebuyers.

My husband and I would recommend Mark and Sharon Pretzer as agents to anyone interested in buying a home.

There were no hidden fees, and everything was laid out on the table so that we could visually see what was going on.  They are honest and good natured individuals.

They take their time with you and answer any and all questions that new and experienced homebuyers need to know.  They are very professional as well and personal and friendly.  Putting professional and personal together makes a dynamic team.

 

Scott & Cindy, Madera

Mark & Sharon did an excellent Job in helping sell our home.  They were professional and courteous.  I especially appreciated how they promptly returned our calls and kept us up dated, through phone messaged and e-mail.  They are easy to talk to, positive and upbeat.

Tracy our escrow representative said, she works with a lot of realtors and Mark was one of the best to work with.  She would use him herself.

If this is the type of service you want, we feel you would be pleased with Mark & Sharon.

Thank you for a Great Job.
