My name is Stan and Anthony Solomon was recently my realtor for the listing and sale of a house in Hacienda Heights, CA. I had made previous use of Mr. Solomon’s services as a Notary Public and had found him to be professional as well as genial in all aspects of our transactions. Those qualities plus his years of realtor experience in the area formed my decision to engage him as a realtor. The property Mr. Solomon listed for me had been neglected for a number of years and because I was living quite a distance from the property, I wanted to minimize the amount of work needed to upgrade it and just sell it “as is.” Using comparable sales data from the vicinity, his professional experience as well as input from a contractor skilled at residential renovations, Mr. Solomon convinced me that a relatively small amount of cash for improvement to the property would net a substantial return on the investment.
Mr. Solomon was helpful in shepherding the process of renovation, recommending a experienced contractor and engaging the contractor periodically to ensure that all aspects of the renovation were properly completed. At the completion of renovation, Mr. Solomon arranged for an open house that brought in almost 40 potential buyers. Following a number of offers, Mr. Solomon, based on his extensive real estate experience, guided me in selecting a buyer whose offer and financial situation would be most likely to qualify for the mortgage loan and thereby avoid a situation in which escrow might fall through well into the escrow process.
True to Mr. Solomon’s recommendation, the offer I accepted was more than seventy percent higher than what the estimated listing price for the residence would have been without the renovation work Mr. Solomon suggested. After I had accepted the offer, Mr. Solomon engaged with the escrow company and throughout the escrow process provided me with guidance in completing documentation, engaged with the buyer’s inspector, acted as an intermediary in addressing buyer’s requests for repairs or upgrades and kept me informed of progress. Throughout the process Mr. Solomon was highly professional as well as personable and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Anthony Solomon for anyone requiring realtor services.
