We couldn't have asked for a more perfect agent to sell our home. We chose you because we knew you were ethical , and that was important to us. But we came to know, first hand, so many other virtues and competencies that you possessed as the venture of selling a modest home in a terrible market progressed. You were always direct and honest with us about the challenges; always encouraging  and positive about the possibilities. You went along with us on any reasonable ideas we had about enhancing our chances; calmed our fears, answered every question promptly and caringly. We followed all your advice ("no, it would not be necessary to repaint the front surround or bedroom").  "yes , keeping everything clean and neat and uncluttered inside, trimmed and weed-free outside, was always a good idea." When the offer finally came the week in August it looked like the stock market was going to collapse, you reminded us of the advantage of selling to a humble gardener at an afforadable price. Sale made! That is, after all the negotiating, contract preparation, and reminders about last minute things. You are a fantastic Realtor, and more impotantly, a great human being.

 

Fondly,

Pam and I have decided to purchase a house on the great highway, in San
Francisco. As of today, we have released all contingencies except the
appraisal, which just came in looking good, so it looks like we are pretty
close to closing the deal. I would like to thank you very much for taking
the time to help us become more informed about Half Moon Bay and the other
areas in our search, and would not hesitate to pass your name along to
anyone who would be interested in a home search in your area.

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me, setup the search, and answer email questions... we're very excited about this place and seem to be timing the market quite well with a good deal but i'm also very glad we did our down-the-coast diligence because it is a dream of mine since moving to CA to live in the hills of la honda or quaint town of pescadero.  similar house prices, access to surf and work, and navigating 1 to 280 steered us differently but i'm so glad we explored the various options in san mateo county through your guidance!

Thanks again,

Wells

Working with Frank to purchase our home in Pacifica was an absolute pleasure. It was a short sale and due to Franks persistence and attention to detail we closed it as fast as a regular sale. His intense attention to detail, genuine compassion, and follow up, has been a refreshing change from what passes as service these days. Whether you are buying a multi-million dollar home, or like us a 1/4 of that, Frank will be there for you every step of the way.

"Hi, I'm Grace, and I'm addicted to MLS listings... I've been clean for one day today... wait, maybe not, few hours, to be more accurate... but I'm working on it. Anyone who's ever gone thru the house purchase knows how hard this stuff is... (insert the nods of approval in the audience)..
  
I used to start my days with a latte of some sort, and even that little addiction is now suffering, since I spend every waking moment wading thru vast amounts of information, trying to decern what are the interest rates doing at that particular hour, which seemingly disconnected event in the world will push our economy one way or another, and how does China fit into the whole picture...
 
But, that's not all. Being well informed is one thing, but I also sit at the edge of my seat every time I get an email from Frank, or Deanna. They are my true agents of addiction. Yes, the range of my emotional response to one of these email is hard to fathom. On one hand there's pure excitement when I receive the new listing from Frank. What comes to mind is dog's reaction to say a SQUIRREL!!!! I must chase it.. NOW!!! Then there was the news about this gorgeous Point Reyes house in Pacifica, which we had to let go because of the rates. Ugh!! (Personally, I blame China).
 
Anyways, I'm few hours clean now... although I keep sneaking the looks at my phone to see if it even works, since we didn't get any calls from Frank for two days now... maybe I should take it in.... anyways, I'm doing fine... just fine... thank you!!!
 
Sincerely,
your first-time homebuyer

On February 10, 2006 the purchase of our condo at 160 Troon Way, Half Moon Bay, was completed in an extraordinarilyswift and safisfying manner, thanks mainly to Frank's expertise.

From our intial contact with Frank, less than four weeks prior to recording, we experienced an excellence of professional service from Frank Vento that still amazes us.

Frank was thorough, knowledgeable, and drew upon local resourcesto a degree that had not been equaled with any other real estate persons with whon I have dealt over nine prior realestate purchases.

We would not hesitate to recommend Frank Vento to anyone seeking real estate opportunities in the Coastal area, and we plan to request Frank's assistance with any future purchases we make there.

Sincerely,  Ray Bacon

It was a pleasure working with Frank Vento. His professionalism was outstanding and his caring attitudesealed the great working relationship we had while working with him. We needed someone we could trust, to handle our property for us efficiently and honestly. Thus the choice of agent. Frank was very helpful and very resourceful. We had questions and concerns. Frank got us answers and our concerns taken care of by way of current information and sound advise. He is a great agent. Frank gives us the impression that this is not just a job for him but something he enjoys simply because he's able to help others through his work.
