“…Top 100 Teams for the second quarter of 2012..”

Dear Smith Group,

Congratulations on an exemplary quarterly performance, one that has earned you a place in the NRT Top 100 Teams for the second quarter of 2012. There are approximately 1,400 Teams across the NRT Family of companies.

While recent industry trends show some promising signs, this market has also presented some real challenges. Your ability to meet them head on and expertly serve the needs of your clients is a testament to your talent, dedication and professionalism.

The strength of NRT has never been quantified purely in terms of our size and resources advantages. The measure that counts most is the character and ability of our people. Whit your impressive accomplishment, you’ve shown us the way –provided a road map, if you will, to the type of prosperity that’s possible as part of the nation’s largest residential real estate brokerage company. For this, I extend to you my heartfelt thanks.

May you continue to build on your wonderful career successes, just as we continue to draw inspiration from your achievements.

Sincerely,

“Both properties were sold at prices that are higher…”

To Prospective Clients-
The Smith Group represented my family on two listings simultaneously.One,a beautiful townhouse in Laguna Niguel that had been somewhat ”over embellished” for the comps in the neighborhood.The other was a large,totally custom home in a guard gated community in North Laguna Beach featuring a pristine private beach.
Tim, and his highly motivated staff, represented both properties with focus and expertise.They developed a marketing plan that suited the unique elements of each property, and in a very “soft” market expertly screened interested parties prior to booking showings.
Both properties were sold at prices that are higher than ever before achieved on their respective streets,and the attention to detail during the always delicate escrow process was exemplary.
I remain convinced that we had the best representation available in the marketplace.

“Tim exemplified professionalism…”

To whom it may concern,

Working with Tim Smith and the Tim Smith Group met and exceeded our expectations.  Tim showed extensive knowledge of the market as well as the sensitivities in the market place.  In particular, he was instrumental in our capturing one of the highest resales in years in our neighborhood.  He focused his marketing and efforts very succinctly, and did not merely rely on the typical “market broadcast” approach used by many others.  He took the time to understand the unique offerings for our home which assisted in setting it apart from the competition.  Throughout the sale process Tim exemplified professionalism in dealing with us as the seller and with the buyer and potential buyers.  I plan on continuing to work with the Tim Smith Group for my residential real estates needs and would highly recommend and encourage others to do the same; or at a minimum put the Tim Smith Group in the mix of brokers you may interview for your real estate needs.

Sincerely,

To whom it may concern:

My name is Ben Garner and I am pleased to introduce myself as one of four top producing agents at Kukio Real Estate Company, one of Hawaii’s premiere boutique brokerages. I’ve known Tim Smith for several years and had the pleasure of doing a number of real estate transactions with he and his team. I’ve personally sent Tim a number of referrals – every one of which he listed, closed and paid me a handsome referral fee. Simply put, Tim executes quickly and precisely with second-to-none marketing tactics. In fact, we now use Tim’s online marketing approach and sales model as a benchmark here at Kukio.

If looking for results, look no further than Tim Smith and the stellar individuals at The Smith Group.

Sincerely,

Ben Garner

John Yasko, I would not have been able to survive the short sale process without you!

John,

Thank you very much for your attention to detail and sincerity in helping with my short sale purchase. Throughout the four month process, you were always available to provide status updates and assure me we were on track and progressing efficiently. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and would recommend you to any of my friends and family looking for a realtor. Your recommendations for both the home inspector and free termite inspection were a great resource.

Thank you again for helping me throughout the purchasing process of my first home, I would not have been able to survive the short sale process without you!

Sincerely,

Tyler Hanway

November 2011

Dear Tim:

Congratulations on an outstanding quarterly performance, one so impressive that it ranks you among NRT Top 100 Teams for the third quarter.

It’s easy to become complacent when confronted by market forces that seem beyond our control. What I admire most about your achievement is that you demonstrated the commitment to service and the professionalism to succeed in spite of a challenging business climate. I truly appreciate your dedication and I’m sure your clients do as well.

As a company, NRT continues to show its strength and execute its vision for the future, thanks in large part to the talent and character of its people. What your team has accomplished this past quarter serves as an inspiration to us all.

With the holidays and year-end just around the corner, I hope you find continued success to close out 2011. Tim, congratulations, and I anticipate the pleasure of recognizing your outstanding performance again in the very near future.

Sincerely
