Page 6 - Testimonials for Janet Owen

“It was an absolute pleasure working with you in selling our property at 1921 North Dayton. You created a great deal of
excitement for the property and expertly helped us price the property to fit the current market. We appreciate your
professionalism throughout the entire process allowing the sale of our home to be a pleasurable experience rather than a
burden. While many real estate firms offer discounts and cut rate commissions it is clear to us that the service they
provide their clients is also less than adequate. We feel that we received the best service and real estate advice available.

“We are also very impressed that you limit your listings and do not over burden yourself, we felt that this was important
in that it allowed you to focus time on our property. Tracey and I could not have been more pleased; we loved your
enthusiasm, your optimism, your professionalism and your friendship. We would highly recommend you to anyone we
know as the best real estate agent in Chicago.”
--Drs. Kamran and Tracey Hashemi

“Hope and I would like to tell you again how pleased we are with the way you handled the sale of our home on Dayton
Street. We knew we wanted to work with you because of your professionalism and knowledge of the Lincoln Park area
that we experienced when we bought the Dayton house and you were representing the seller. Our grand success with this
sale is certainly due to your efforts. Your knowledge of the market and particularly our price range was very evident in
all our pricing and marketing discussions. In sum, we are very satisfied customers and would recommend your services
to others wanting the highest quality service in buying or selling a home.”

“Eva and I wanted to take a moment to express to you our heartfelt gratitude for your efforts on our behalf regarding the
sale of our apartment. Your professional approach and complete attention to all details made our entire business
relationship simple and straightforward. Your level headed approach to all appointments, potential buyers as well as the
problems inherent in any real estate transaction proved to be the formula needed to complete our deal. In a slowing
market, when problems arise more frequently, it is exceptional to get the constant attention and consideration that you
have at all times offered to Eva and myself. The cooperative apartment market was weaker during our listing period than
it has been for some time, but your efforts continued, full speed, throughout. Closing and moving turned out to be a win-
win for everyone. If there is a negative to the entire process, it was that we no longer have our regular conversations with
you regarding the market and strategy going forward. We miss you.”
--Eva and Gary Quateman

“Thank you for your commendable efforts on my behalf. As to the sale of my condominium at 2130 N. Lincoln Park West,
you did a superlative job under challenging circumstances. In our initial meeting, in which I was ‘interviewing’ you prior
to selecting a realtor to manage the listing, you were the most prepared of the 3 realtors with whom I met. You did
extensive research on ‘comparables’ and were resourceful in your pricing proposal. The property needed ‘staging’, in
which you were both creative and practical. Given the fact the building is about 80 years old, it was critical that you have
the ability to explain to potential buyers both the difficulties older buildings pose as well as the rewards; you did this well.

Please feel free to share this letter with potential clients. I would be happy to speak with anyone who reads this letter
about you; you may give my telephone number to interested parties. With sincere thanks and gratitude.”
