'I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all the members of The Sharon Keefer Team for the efforts expended on my behalf during the sale of my San Jose residence. Often the word 'team' is overused and therfore meaningless, but this is certainly not the case in regards to your group.' |

'Sharon and Doug are outstanding. It is difficult for me to put into words how much they helped us to first settle into San Jose and when the time came, for us to leave.In my mind they are much more than real estate agents.They are more like partners-they treat/consider your home as they would their own.When they list a property they are not just selling the home.They market it.With our home they worked with us on how to present the home and on a strategy for putting the home on the market.We needed to do some interior painting and straightening up around the exterior.They helped find good painters,yard men, etc.Sharon had been in the business for many years and really understands the Silicon Valley market.She knows how to price and sell homes.Without a doubt she provided a strategy that enabled us to receive the full value for our home. The challenge in California is not selliing,it is how to present (market) the home to get the best price.The interior arrangement,exterior curb appeal and listing price are critical to this and Sharon is outstanding in that regard.' |

'Sharon and Doug Keefer have, in my opinion,redefined the role of real estate sales professionals.Choosing Sharon to coordinate my move from Birmingham,Alabama to the Bay Area was the single most important . . .and maybe the very best decision that we made as we grappled with the intimidating nature of this relocation. I was blown away by the level of personal service and genuine care that they brought to the process both before and after the close.' |
