Testimonials

We think the accomplishments above speak for themselves, but the testimonials from our past clients mean the most to us:

I am writing this letter because I was so impressed by your professionalism and expert knowledge of the real estate market. Your team was consistent in communicating with my family and always concerned with details. You kept me posted of the progress from the beginning until the transaction closed. You stood out from amongst all the real estate brokers that I interviewed. Thank you so much for the perfect job, well done!

~ Paul Frank, Designer

Thank you for all the hard work you had done in closing a very difficult transaction. Your skills in solving problems, putting out fires, and making everyone feel like winners were some of the most impressive we have seen in our business careers. You are gifted with talent, patience and perseverance. Many thanks for a job superbly done.

~ A.N. CEO Quantum Technology

We want you to know how happy we were with you both, and your team, for all the services you provided throughout the entire transaction. We feel very fortunate to have sold our house at close to asking price. You obviously know your market well. The recommendations you gave us from finding the right lender, escrow company, and related home services were perfect.

~ Lynn and Josh Stroner

I found the entire Coté Vasu Team to be excellent to work with. They are hard working, professional, energetic and extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and what it takes to get homes sold. I found that the competing agents couldn’t come close to providing the marketing and advertising bandwidth of First Team Estates^®, nor compete with The Coté Vasu Team’s expertise level that only comes with a 40+ year successful sales track record.

~ Corporate Client

We interviewed several companies and Realtors^® trying to find the right person to represent us. No one came close to the professional approach offered by The Coté Vasu Team. They were as prepared to spend a substantial amount of time and effort marketing our property, and more importantly, they lived up to his commitment for the entire duration from listing to closing.

~ Arnold Grant, Deputy General Counsel Beckman Coulter, Inc.

My home had been on the market for six months when I felt I needed a new approach and better marketing. I called The Coté Vasu Team and asked; “Can you sell my place in 30 days?” And that’s exactly what they did. I am so grateful for their team’s attention to detail and their expertise – selling my home was a difficult decision for me, and I was an emotional client. The Coté Vasu Team really helped me keep perspective every step of the way. Their systems were evident in the smooth communications between us all and all the marketing was cutting edge. This team is competent, timely, and didn’t miss a beat. Truly an impressive operation.

~ Paul Emery, CEO of Brilliant Communications

Of the handful of Realtors^® I interviewed to sell my home, The Coté Vasu Team was the only team that I felt really “got it”. They understood the value of proper marketing and pricing. I had strong ideas about how to position my home (due to my own marketing background) and it was crucial for me to play an active role in determining how to present my home. Thankfully, they were completely comfortable and receptive to my input. They have a great “eye” and the photography in my home turned out beautifully, then they directed the creation of an outstanding video tour. I am absolutely convinced these strategies overcame some extreme challenges – my home, while completely charming and in a beautiful setting, was located in a declining community; interest rates were high; it was a buyer’s market; and condo sales were the slowest they had been in 20 years! Despite it all, I received and accepted a full-price offer just 3 days after our very first preview, and the end result, my home sailed through escrow and closed on schedule!
