To Whom it May Concern,

After 18 years of residence on the Rivo Alto Canal in Long Beach, my wife and I decided to put our home on the market. We interviewed a number of realtors before selecting Erik Bueno. We knew of Erik by virtue of his newsletters and signs, but we had never met him. I dropped by one of his open houses, met him, and arranged for him to evaluate our home. He prepared a valuation analysis and a marketing plan. We liked him, we liked his organizational skills and we liked his professionalism.

Erik guided us through the entire process. He met every timeline that he set forth. He was always available. He provided very good counsel when we were dealing with multiple offers. The whole process was characterized by good will, optimism and competence. We were extremely pleased with his services and recommend him highly.

Sincerely yours,
Ron and Susan Crowell
Dear Erik,

We want to thank you for representing us in the recent sale of our home on the Peninsula. Selling a home can be a very stress producing experience, but with your calm and concerned approach, we virtually sailed through. Thanks to your considerable knowledge, expertise, attention to detail and most important, your integrity, we were able to maximize our return on our home.

We hope to do business with you in the future and would recommend you to anyone without hesitation.

Sincerely,
Mike and Sally Wiley
Dear Erik,

I just want to thank you again for the wonderful work you did in selling my parents home. I really do appreciate all the time you spent coordinating the painters, floor refinisher and carpet layers. You brought the house back to its 1943 debut. It was a perfect way to say good bye to their home of over 60 years.

The sale and escrow process was perfectly orchestrated. Being over 100 miles away it was nice to know everything was is such good hands. We have just helped my step daughter purchase a new home and it does make a difference to have an expert like you as a realtor on your side...

Dear Erik:

Just wanted to thank you for all your efforts in handling my exchange and sale of property at 301 Mira Mar and 3819-21 3rd Street Long Beach, California. It is certainly a pleasure to deal with someone who is truly a professional and is willing to go the extra mile to see that all the details are taken care of to the customers satisfaction. Having worked in real estate myself I understand and truly appreciate your efforts. I especially appreciate your no strings approach where you offered your knowledge and expertise long before I was even ready to market my property.

Thank you again,
Ed West
Dear Erik:

Selling our "home" was not the same as selling a "house". All our memories made these walls more than inanimate objects. From our first consultation with you, Erik, we felt that you understood the undercurrents and ambivalences we were feeling. Your approach was professional but with feeling, and your demeanor was objective but with understanding. We knew from the start we wanted you to represent us to the public.

Throughout the selling process you always gave us personal consideration. We had no "looky-lous" wandering through the house and each visitation was from a bonafide prospective buyer.

The bargaining process was handled professionally and with finesse. After the sale, you handled all the escrow necessities within the required time limits and the outcome was hassle-free. We were more than pleased with the results. We laud your professionalism and enthusiasm, and would highly recommend your services to future home sellers and buyers.

Dear Eric,

The experience of listing and selling my Belmont Shore duplex with you was a rewarding one. I was particularly struck by your never ending attention to the details of the entire transaction. From arriving at the selling price through closing the deal, you were consistently on top of everything and continually communicating with me on each and every aspect of the transaction. I valued your knowledge, experience, and obvious skills in dealing with people.

Also of note were your marketing efforts. You utilized each and every marketing avenue available to inform the market place that my property was for sale and did an outstanding job of understanding and detailing the features this duplex possessed. It was a pleasure working with a true professional.

Sincerely,
Dennis T. Leahy
