| |  Rita,
I want to express my sincere appreciation for the professionalism, enthusiasm, and diligence you showed in marketing, and most importantly, SELLING my house in a relatively short amount of time!
During the process you remained a professional, always available when needed, and were always highly ethical. Generally, you simply work very hard to sell a home! To initially set the price you did the work to determine the fair market value of the property, you were up front about the pros and cons of my home, and then let me make the final decision. When offers came in you discussed them thoroughly with me and we made a joint decision. You proved yourself to be a great negotiator and became by far the foremost advocate for my property. I actually believe that you would not take on a sales effort that you didn't personally believe in.
The experience was a pleasure and I feel that I made a good friend in the process. Please feel free to use this as a recommendation of your very professional and excellent work! I wish you much success - you really deserve it!
Thanks again Rita and Merry Christmas!

|  We had been seeing Rita for a few years before we decided to move to Ocean Hills Country Club. Each time we came to visit the area we would have Rita show us some houses so we could gradually become knowledgeable about the community and the different home models. Rita was always willing to arrange her schedule around our visits and helped us to feel that this was the community we wanted to call “home”.
Rita’s knowledge of the houses, both the good and bad points, her honesty about each property we viewed, her ability to quickly find any problems we may have missed, made her an invaluable agent. When we were not in the area, she kept us informed of new listings with regular emails even though she knew we were not ready to purchase.
When we finally found the house we now own, Rita walked us through each step of the buying process, from the first offer to the day she handed us the keys. She has helped us with excellent advice on painters and contractors, places to shop for our new home needs, and any questions regarding our new community. We feel that Rita has become a friend as well as a trusted real estate agent.
We highly recommend Rita to anyone in the market for a home in the area and know she will give all the same quality service she has provided to us.

|  Your service to us can be expressed in one word: outstanding. All I can say is that you truly earn your commission. You are up on the very latest methods of communication -- not only to clients who have listed with you but also in the latest digital technologies useful to getting prospects interested in your products. We are grateful to you in trying to make the sale and move as free of stress as possible Alice and I would not have the slightest reservation in recommending you to anyone we learn about who is interested in selling their home in Ocean Hills.

|  Rita Harper came into my life at the urging of two residents of Ocean Hills after we had our home up for sale for eight fruitless months with a different local sales team. In two weeks, Rita had the house sold to a buyer who met Escrow's requirements with no problems.
Going through Escrow can be a tedious and stressful time. With Rita's advice and assistance, the experience passed quickly and harmoniously, and before we knew it the check in full was in our hands.
During the entire time, Rita was in frequent contact with us by phone, email and fax. She was so professional and pleasant at all times, that I regret only that I never had the pleasure of meeting her.

|  When you live halfway across the country and need to sell a home, having the right Realtor is crucial. Rita Harper went over and above our expectations. She patiently answered our many questions and got the job done. She is knowledgeable, honest to a fault, and easily accessible. She helped with staging, gardening, pricing and all the details that go into selling a home. After working with Rita for a few months she has become a trusted friend as well as our Realtor. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs to buy or sell a house.

|  Rita kept me informed and educated the prospects on the value of the community. She delivered on what she promised! She tended to repairs and sprucing up in my absences. Rita, kept the process going, whatever it took. She was very helpful with all of the paperwork and organization details of selling my mother's home in timely fashion.

|  Having just purchased a home with Rita Harper on our side, my wife and I are truly grateful for Rita’s guidance and the ever developing friendship we’ve gleaned from the experience.
Rita knows the process and has surrounded herself with a team of experts that will keep you afloat throughout the sometimes seemingly overwhelming requirements of the “new” home-buying paperwork mountain! She’s always available to answer questions or follow up on issues that seem to be in need of a little Harper nudging! (If you didn’t know better, you might think you were Rita’s only client!)
We particularly like her “tell it like it is” method of communicating the pluses and minuses of a home’s features which helps you focus on the big picture. In addition, Rita provides the best cookies at her open houses!!
Bottom line---We’re in our new home and are very happy with it and couldn’t have done it without Rita Harper!!

|  Dear Rita,
We are glad to let other potential home buyers know how pleased we are with your help in locating and purchasing a home at Ocean Hills Country Club, Oceanside, California. We presented you with quite a time challenge because we were in the Oceanside area for less than a week. We intended to only get a feel for good locations in the San Diego area to purchase a home at a future time but, with your presentation of the development (with first hand knowledge from living there), your analysis of why this was a good time to be buying a home, and your guidance in looking at homes available, negotiating a deal agreeable to both parties, and setting up financing, we are now happy home owners. Much of the business end of buying the home was done with us on the week long trip home and then via phone, Internet, and fax with us in Everett, Washington all due to your very capable organizational skills (and good cheer) in California. We are happy to write this letter to other potential buyers that we strongly recommend your services as a realtor for them.
Sincerely,
John and Anne Shabel

You assisted us in preparing our father's home to market and sell the property and establish a realistic price. Your organizational skills and market knowledge resulted in the home being well represented,staged and sold in just over 60 days. I would tell a prospective client that you are knowledgeable, accessible and willing to listen and that you know your market. I would also let them know that from my experience you put your client FIRST!

Dear Rita,
We both want to thank you so much for providing such excellent services to us in your sale of our home on Pindar Way. We interviewed several Realtors before we listed our home. You provided an outstanding presentation of how you would market and sell our home and we were pleased to give you the listing. We were especially impressed with your expert knowledge of the real estate market, your cheerfulness at all times, the outside OHCC contacts that you had, and the services that you could bring through Coldwell Banker.
From the minute we gave you our listing, we were impressed with your actions to attract potential buyers and other Realtors with potential buyers and the feedback that you gave to us from your follow-up with all of them.
Rita, we would highly recommend you to anyone as a Realtor in either buying or selling a home. We appreciate all your help, friendship, expertise and hard work.
Good luck to you always,

| Rita, first I would like you to tell your clients that I am a retired real estate broker and have "no axe to grind". Since this testimonial comes from the heart it may, consequently, have more meaning.
Twenty-three years ago I retired and moved to Ocean Hills Country Club from Fallbrook where I owned two offices. During this time I have known and still know many Realtors who were, or are now, active in our community.
In my opinion you are a: “Realtor's Realtor”. Any person who utilizes your professional services in today's market would be doing themselves a favor selecting you as their agent.
My theory has always been to help the clients and the money will come later. You are one salesperson who I feel uses this philosophy faithfully in all your dealings. Many people in your chosen field never learn this! If I was active in real estate today you would be working for me.
Please feel free to use my name and phone number should any future client need a verbal accolade in your behalf.
Pat Gallagher, Ocean Hills Country ClubPat Gallagher | |
|  Thank you for being so patient and understanding throughout the whole process- and multitude of paperwork! You were very efficient on paperwork and followup. Patient when answering a thousand questions! Very knowledgeable and willing to research any suggestion and most of all you know the market well!

Dear Ms. Harper:
I wanted to write this late letter of appreciation to you for your excellent services provided to me and my family. Selling a mobile home during these most difficult economic times is to me quite a feat in itself and really escalated to meet the task at hand.
My situation was quite different in that I was 3,000 miles away and unable to deal on a day to
day level with all the issues that emerged throughout the entire selling process to include
painting, carpeting, cleaning inside and out, upkeep, and securing competent companies to buy
and install various items needed to sell the home. I appreciate your attention to the pricing of the home, as that money was going to be used in total for care of my mother in a long-term care
facility in Escondido.
I also appreciated your phone calls — always keeping me apprised of the situation and making
very competent suggestions to facilitate the sale of the home. You obviously went way out of your way, spending an exorbitant amount of time to sell the home. All was successful, and I
would highly recommend your services to anyone that is interested in buying or selling a home.
I am very familiar with the hectic world of being a Real Estate Salesperson. My mother, when
she resided in Des Moines, Iowa was selected at the "Realtor of the Year" for the State of Iowa.
This was quite an honor, given that it was won in the 60s and she was the first woman to win
such a prestigious award. Rita, in my opinion you rank right up there with my mother in her
excellence of service to the consumer — especially a consumer that resided in Virginia with a home up for sale in California.
Needless to say, I cannot thank you enough. You are the best!
Sincerely,

|  Thank you so much for your help selling my mom's property. Your knowledge of the marketplace in general and of comparable properties in the neighborhood was invaluable in pricing and marketing the property, and I can honestly say, I've never worked with anyone who was more communicative or more responsive throughout the process. You have my unqualified recommendation.
Best regards,
David

You not only serviced our needs but you serviced the needs of a FSBO(for sale by owner). You insured our interets were protected as well as saved us close to $100,000 in expenses we would have incurred.
Thank You!

|  Dear Rita "Lovely Meter Maid" - What would I do without you!
Thanks for all you are - a light to many ... & loving to all who come in contact with you !
Rita, is such a warm yet professional in all of her personal & business contacts. Our family was looking for a top rate agent to sell in a tightening real estate market in a neighborhood that had many listings of our home yet unsold! We were very impressed with Rita - not because of her business profile only, but we saw how much she embraced people around her as friends - she's vibrant & excited about everything in her life. You can't help but to want whatever she is selling!
Rita not only sold our home within 10 days but handled every detail of the selling & helpful information regarding every aspect along the way - she kept us informed & up-to-date. She also is very loyal to her clients best interests - and that you will see for yourself.
I've been in the 'real estate' line of work for close to 15 years & she is one of the best resale agents I have known - It's one thing knowing an agent - another thing to actually see the work they do. Which leads us to our next adventure with her!!!
We had purchased another home that we had to sell within a short period of time - (my son was involved with the purchase) - another realty company was involved - no movement on the property ... it was very disappointing to find that every Realtor isn't as involved as Rita.
Rita was excited to sell this new property. It was wonderful to see all the different aspects there were to listing & selling a property - of which Rita had a "Sales Plan" available for us in a beautiful package. She opens doors wherever she goes!!! We saw this uncanny ability - & were ready to see her run with this! Needless to say, she accomplished in 6 weeks (understand - this was one of about 500 homes in this area for sale - without full outside landscaping) what someone else couldn't do in 5 months! It sold within 2 months.
We will continue to have Rita help us with any future investment - regardless of the market - she does not see any obstacles! Only possibilities! She has become a friend also - you can't help but love her!
We wish you the best in the coming years Rita! You're one amazing woman & we are thankful you have made us your friends...Looking forward to more business with you!
With grateful hearts, The Kennedy Family!

|  Dear Rita,
This is one letter that gives me the greatest pleasure to write.
Rita, you have gone way beyond your responsiblities as our "Real Estate Agent. From the day you first showed us properties to the end of escrow and beyond, you were right there to help us in many ways along with being so professional. Rita, you were so pleasant and caring with every detail of the transaction. Many thanks also for your concern with our plumbing problem.
Believe me Rita "You are a Keeper" and all of our family agrees. You are our Real Estate Agent for life.
Thanks again for all of your help.
Sincerely,

|  Rita,
We want to thank you for the GREAT job you did on selling our home in Oceanside. You are so on top of things! Wish that you were in Arizona so if we ever need to sell again(which I hope we won't), that you could be our Realtor. Thanks again for for the GREAT JOB!!

|  Steve and I just wanted to extend a generous thank-you for all the time
you spent squeezing our intense house-hunting experience in your busy
schedule. I honestly had little faith that Steve and I would find our
beautiful starter home in the short week I came out to Oceanside in
order to househunt. You made our experience of buying our first home
stress-free by not only meeting us at our convenience, but also by
explaining real-estate terminology in the most understandable way. We really
took into account your opinions regarding neighborhoods and the
surrounding areas, and your input regarding the housing market in Shadowridge.
We could not be more happy with our new dream home. Thanks again for
all your time and effort.
Stephen and Noelle Staub-Vista | |
|  Rita, Thank you for your fanastic help. Thank you for helping us find our dream house. We appreciate your time and effort. We highly recommend anyone for your services. We wish you success in the future. Eric and Lynn Cooper-Oceanside | |
