Hi Ruth,

Just a quick note to say thanks again for all your help with the house. It was great to have someone so knowledgeable and professional to guide us through the process. Having a realtor who responded quickly to all our requests and followed through with everything promised made the experience of buying our house easy. We definitely recommend you to others…attached is the photo of our grins while getting the keys!

Thanks

Good evening, Ruth.

I hope that all is well with you. As you know, the sale of my former home completed yesterday. This note is to thank you for the many fine qualities you showed in arranging this deal – your enthusiasm, energy, market knowledge, intelligence, sensitivity and willingness to go the extra mile all shone through and contributed to a successful outcome.

Originally the property was listed unsuccessfully for several months with another capable and well-respected realtor.

Within a couple of weeks of engaging you the property attracted a solid offer. I really hadn’t expected that any realtor could have accomplished what you did in such short order. Thanks very much for being my realtor!

Please feel free to refer any prospective clients to me as an example of a very happy client.

Best of luck for the rest of this year and in the future,

Rod R.

Jan 15, 2012We are writing to provide a letter of recommendation for Ruth Hanson. We have used Ruth for both buying a home and most recently (January 2012) in selling a home. We cannot say enough about the professional approach she brings to her work. Ruth is someone who fully owned and supported our experience from beginning to end. Helping you Sell your home: Ruth gets deals done Ruth did an excellent job engaging buyers both from her personal network and from mass media marketing (e.g. local newspapers). She spent a significant amount of time and attention to ensure that everything that could be done was done to best promote our property (e.g. high quality pictures, professional package at the open house). Ruth also used new media sources like an interactive video to best showcase our home.With this approach, Ruth was able to attract a large number of interested and qualified buyers to our home. In our open houses over a single weekend (Jan 2012), Ruth helped attract almost 70 different parties which resulted in multiple offers on our home. During the lead up and especially during the final negotiations, we noted that she was the realtor that set the tone and guided the sales conversation with the other agents. Ruth knew the buttons to push and the techniques to help bring the prospective deal to the successful conclusion. Helping you Buy your home: A great guide and consultant Ruth helped us buy our first house and we probably weren’t always the easiest clients to deal with during this process. Not only was she able to get us to a great property, but she also acted as a great guide and consultant who answered all the questions and concerns we had.Once our purchase was complete, Ruth didn’t simply move to the next sales opportunity, she stayed with us to the very end, including discovering a significant latent defect as the sale neared closing. To this day, we are both extremely thankful for the benefits of her thorough approach. If you have any questions about Ruth’s service, please do not hesitate to contact us by email.Jamie Clerf and Claire Johnston

Dear Ruth,

I just want to thank you for making this house sale so easy for me. I was quite tired after having my house on the market for 8 months and no sales. I was being told (by that realtor) that my house price may have to be reduced.
But you came in, very enthusiastic, and convinced me that my home was valuable and you could sell it. It was a breath of fresh air.

I enjoyed working with you so much. You explained everything that you wanted to do, but never made me feel like you were running the show. I always felt like we were a team. You asked me what I liked most about my property, and you marketed those points to the max.

When the offer came in you worked with us to ensure the transaction completed, even when little things came up. This was the first time I had ever had to do such a large thing on my own and you convinced me that we could do it together.

I hope we can stay in touch. I recommend you to everyone I know is in the market to sell or buy a home. Thank you!

Marlene R.

Dear Ruth

We are writing to express our appreciation of your services as our Realtor. You were our agent in both selling our old house and buying a new one. Throughout the experience you took the time to understand our needs.

When we found the right new home, you acted quickly and decisively to ensure our offer was considered seriously in a competitive situation. When vermiculite insulation was found you made sure the Sellers took care of it before we took possession.

When it came to selling our home, you consulted with us and recommended an attractive and fair selling price which led to receiving competing offers and a final price significantly more than we were expecting.

Throughout the process you acted on our behalf including communications with the other realtors right through possession and including coordination of the completion processes for the two properties and thorough follow up to make sure we were happy.

We highly recommend you as a conscientious, attentive and assertive realtor who listened to our needs and guided us smoothly through the numerous challenges of buying and selling in today’s market.

Dear Ruth

Thank you for the wonderful sales experience you provided us on the sale of our home.

Key factors that made our experience great was your long term knowledge, your straight-to-the-point nature, and your patience and understanding that big decisions like this take time.

You are also very professional and offer a variety of networks and opportunities to make the most out of the selling process.

It is clear that you are a dedicated and caring person when such a big change like this is taking place.

Thank you very much for your support during this time. I highly recommend you as a real-estate
agent.

Thank you.

An Excellent Real Estate Team

I met Ruth and immediately decided to retain her as my real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge of her product and industry, strong negotiation skills, and warm caring personality were evident right from the start. From searching for an appropriate property to putting the deal together and through to closing and beyond, Ruth was extremely thorough and met and exceeded my expectations.

Through the completion of the deal I also used three other professional service providers Ruth recommended and each one was top notch. These professionals working together made this an easy purchase process for me.

Ruth Hanson is an industry leader. Her standard of work sets a high bar for her competitors...a powerful tool in the selection, negotiation and closing processes of buying property.

Working with Ruth was an absolute pleasure and she remains an integral part of my future real estate plans.

Sincerely,

C.N. Jobse

4263 Triumph and 4119 Trinity - SOLD!

We are writing to express our appreciation for Ruth Hanson and her services as our Realtor. Ruth was our agent in both buying our new home and simultaneously selling our original house. Throughout the experience Ruth was always understanding of our needs, leading us through potential homes until we found the right one for us. Then she acted quickly and decisively to ensure our offer was successful in a competitive situation.

Then it was time to sell our original home and Ruth recommended a powerful strategy which resulted in competitive offers and ultimately a final sale price significantly higher than we expected.

Throughout the process Ruth acted on our behalf in coordinating the sucessful completion on both properties, looking after all the details.

We highly recommend Ruth as a conscientious, attentive and assertive realtor who listened to our needs and guided us smoothly through the numerous challenges of buying and selling in a very competitive market.

Sincerely,

Marilyn Noort and David Holloway

SOLD! #142 - 200 Westhill Place

Just a quick note to say thank you for your professionalism and expertise in getting my condo sold, at full asking price within 3 days of listing. You are amazing.

It was a pleasure working with you right from the start. Your knowledge of the market and my neighbourhood in particular was a key factor in pricing and strategy. I really appreciated being kept in the loop with the right amount of information in terms I could understand.

You worked hard, and no detail was too small for you to take care of. I am delighted to both be a reference and to pass along your name to friends. You will not only do an outstanding job for them, you will make me look good for having recommended you.

Thanks for everything!
