Testimonials from my clients

"To Whom It May Concern:

It is with pleasure that we write this recommendation letter for Kathy Emmert. My wife and I have known Kathy both professionally as well as personally for approximately 15 years and can say with no hesitation that she is one of the most dedicated, positive, sincere and friendliest individuals (to list only a few of her many attributes) who conducts herself with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. We trust her explicitly. Needless to say, Kathy is a special person in our lives and we are pleased to have had the opportunity to know and work with her. In a high priced, high pressured sales environment such as that which exists in the real estate field, one is never absolutely sure that one can truly trust the real estate broker he/she is dealing with. That is where Kathy stands above all others because she will do everything she can to insure that she is giving you the best service and advice possible. This is because Kathy is there to develop a lasting friendship with those with whom she works and her strong belief in helping others in a highly valued principle of hers.

We hope we have given the reader a short descriptor of the Kathy Emmert we have known over the past several years. We value her friendship and knowledge and we feel anyone who gets to know her will feel the same as we do."

"Although Linda and I are still unpacking, we wanted to take a moment to thank you and your staff at American Dream Realty. Without the outstanding efforts of you, Jack, and Bill, I am certain that this transaction would not have happened in such record time.

From our first meeting, Linda and I were confident that you were the right choice to help us find our "dream house." We were both very impressed with your comprehensive knowledge of the Santa Cruz real estate market as well as your warm, personable style. Once we found the right home, we were amazed with your management of the complex purchase process which was virtually seamless in spite of the incredibly short time frame.

Thanks again for your advice and dedication. Linda and I are really looking forward to becoming members of the Scotts Valley/Santa Cruz Community."

--- Paul and Linda Donovan, Scotts Valley California ---

"Thank you for a job well done with regard to the sale of my home. Not only were you available to me every step of the way, you were even present at the signing of the closing escrow documents, which was a big comfort to me.

I think that the most valued aspect of your professionalism is your attention to detail. The real estate process is complicated enough in my mind, but you proved to be a shinning light that burned through the confusing. There were many long hours of discussion that kept me moving in the right direction. I appreciate your real estate wisdom and your patience with me.

I look forward to our continued friendship on both a personal and professional basis."
