Karen Briner"Tessa says thanks, and so do we! Once again, you did a wonderful job of getting our house sold. You always kept us very well informed of what was happening. You have such a sweet, caring spirit. And your Christian witness, even during the time of Rob's heart attack and surgery, was truly a blessing. We consider you a friend. We hope we never have to move again, but if we do we will certainly depend on your help once again!"
Thanks a lot!
Dave & Marsha Rodgers
"I just wanted to let you know how much of a blessing it has been to have you as my Realtor. I am so thankful to God for putting you in my path. it is so awesome how God makes everything work out for His glory. I know that in the future if I ever sell my home I will definitely give you a call."
Thank you,
Chad Keller
"Thank you so much! You were so caring & compassionate. You made a difficult time easier for us."
May God Bless You,
Dave & Marsha Rodgers
"Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make our dream of moving to Argenta come true - you are more than a Realtor; we consider you a dear friend."
Love in Christ,
Jeff & Karla Denzler
"Thank you again for your help with the sale of our five properties over the past several years. We believe that actions speak louder than words! Brenda focuses on how to meet needs and requirements and the last thing she focuses on is her commission. We could always depend on her to assist us in a patient and professional manner. Plus, you make things more comfortable by keeping us informed during the process. As we're making our move out of state, we also appreciate you referring us to a professional agent in California. Whenever we hear of someone needing a Realtor, we always suggest that they call you. In addition, the gift that you surprise us with on each house is always an extra touch!
Hani & Rola Alarian, Folsom, California
"...Most would say, 'Can't be done!' But we had our wonderful Rob."
"He went way beyond the call of duty. He helped with many things a 'usual' Realtor would not have touched. Anything we needed, he took charge of."
"Whenever I think of us looking alone for a house and remember an old Christian hymn, 'We once were lost and then were found.' Rob found my family scared, lost, panicked without a home. Then found us the home of our dreams and made it come true."
"Whenever we can sing your praises - we do! We are your best advertisement! God bless you and yours!"
Your friends,
Sharon, Gavin & Joe Sowa and Tone and A.J. Jackson, Decatur
"There are just not enough words to say how thankful I am for everything you guys have done for me and my kids. I feel that God had a plan for our lives and He placed you in the middle of it. Your expertise, patience, encouragement and most of all friendship meant so much to me...You are great people and I appreciate you very much...Thanks for being you!!"
Jackie Lee, Oreana
"Dustin and I just want to say thank you so much for all of your help. You were very patient and helpful in answering all of our questions. We will definately recommend you to others!"
Dustin & Angel Studebaker, Decatur
"We couldn't have asked for better Realtors than Rob & Brenda. I felt that the biggest advantage of having a husband/wife team to help us find our home was the increased availability that the situation provided. There was always one of them available to show us homes. There was no waiting several days to see a home with Rob and Brenda. They showed us homes when it was convenient for us and not them. Rob even took the time to show us a home on the evening of their wedding anniversary."
"Rob and Brenda provided us with listings, but let us make the decision about whether we wanted to see the homes. They did not try to rush us into any decisions and respected our patience in our search for our perfect house. Once we did find the perfect home, they made the closing process as stress free as possible - which was very important to us since we were planning the final touches for our wedding day at the same time. Rob and Brenda sold our old home in less than one month and kept us informed through the whole process."
"Rob and Brenda are first class professionals. They are more than Realtors and they truly became friends through the whole process - They are very caring people. I would recommend them to anyone looking to find a new home with as little stress as possible."
Scott & Alicia Ralston, Macon
"We want to say Thank You for the sale of our home in LaPlace, and for helping us while buying our new home here in Mt.Zion. We miss knowing our neighbors but have so much more room in the house we haven't missed the other house yet! You were such wonderful Realtors and became our friends. When we had any questions about our house on the market you made us feel confident it would get sold...and it SOLD!!!"
"You made us feel we were the only clients you had and kept us updated every step of the way. We can not complain at all with the GREAT work you did. You did great advertising and had the listing online. You kept us posted by e-mail, phone and by mail...you did everything you could do and more!!!"
"When we move again, (which won't be for several years), we hope you will work with us again. Anyone we know of looking to buy or sell, we will send them to you. Keep in Touch!"
Corey & Treasa Smith & Button, Mt. Zion
"We couldn't have found more professional Realtors if we tried! Brenda and Rob both made a difficult situation easy and stress free for us, and did an incredible job of marketing our home for us. And best yet, we feel like we added two wonderful people to our list of friends!"
"You both truly are high quality professionals and warm, caring people. It's more than a pleasure to be associated with you! Thanks!"
Ed & Cheryl Marty, Forsyth
"Ten years ago we relocated to central Illinois from South Florida for my husband's job. Brenda worked with us long distance by mail and fax in preparation for a week long house hunting trip. Meeting our criteria, Brenda had appointments set up all week and spent the whole week braving rural country roads to help us find our dream farmhouse."
"Ten years later, now a single mom and children all grown, I found myself in a position here I had to sell that dream farmhouse. In a market saturated with homes, once again Brenda worked diligently to find the perfect buyer for my home. With both of these experiences, I found Brenda to be energetic, professional, honest, compassionate and accommodating. When I'm ready to buy my next home, I will definitely entrust Brenda and now Robert with the task of helping me find the perfect home."
Cindy Kitchen, Cerro Gordo
"Dear Brenda & Robert, just wanted to thank you for the effort you put in to selling our home. You always kept us informed and made us feel you were working just for us. We would be happy to recommend your services to all of our family and friends! Thanks again."
Jim & Cathy Ash, Decatur
"Brenda Reynolds helped us process closing papers when we sold our home of 23 years in 2000. We found her to be very knowledgeable and professional. Brenda went out of her way to make our Real Estate transaction a positive and pleasurable experience. We would like to sincerely extend our gratitude to Brenda for all the time and effort she put into making our move to our new home an enjoyable experience. Needless to say, we highly recommend Brenda to all of our friends and family. Good luck in your new business partnership."
Mick & Glenna Ashley, Decatur
"We saw in the paper that you two were in business together. That's great! Then we got your letter. Brenda, you know how much we think of you. You are the one responsible for us being where we are. From finding the house to getting everything in order for us. Also did the paperwork for the one we sold ourselves. We could not thank you enough. If and when we decide to move, we'll be sure to call on you guys to help us."
Always, Bob & Sandy Voudrie, Decatur
"I just had to write and tell you how pleased I was with your selling of my co-op and also when buying my home. Everything went so smoothly and I think it had to do with your friendliness and the service you provided. I could get in touch with you anytime and you kept in touch with me. I would recommend you to anyone, in fact I have spoken of you to quite a few. When my daughter is ready to sell, she will call you. I appreciate the way you handled everything. All the best to you and your husband in the real estate business. Thanks, again."
Betty Gentry, Decatur
"Between July 1995 and October 2000, we used the services of Brenda Reynolds several times. We came into town needing a home to replace one we were leaving in Peoria that we loved for many years and held memories of the growing up years of our three children. It was not an easy task. Personalities clicked between agent and prospective buyers enabling us to spend many rewarding hours searching for the "perfect" spot sometimes in 95 degree heat and scorching sunshine. Always at our beck and call, Brenda professionally sealed the purchase of a home for us on Lake Decatur."
"Within 2 years, we again sought her assistance in the marketing and overnight sale of the lake home for an even more "perfect" home to fit the changes in our life now that we were faced with an empty nest. Never dreaming things would happen so quickly, we did not have an option to turn to so we started the searching process all over again. Brenda presented choices of available homes that would suit our likes, dislikes, needs and wants. Always accommodating, we were again at the bargaining table securing what was to be a short three years in that "perfect" home."
"Another company beckoned. We called our faithful and by this time, good friend, Brenda. This was to prove the most challenging work yet as she waded through mountains of paperwork associated with a corporate move. Ever the professional, all hoops were successfully jumped through on a timely basis, with a presentation prepared to market our home in its best possible light. A buyer was secured within three weeks. We were on our way knowing we had had one of the best relationships possible with a Realtor. We felt she had worked hard for us each time, been patient when we could not make a decision, and gave up her dinner hour and evenings on numerous occasions to help in our negotiations. We felt the correct marketing of the homes enabled them to sell quickly and through her thorough work, the other Realtors were always pleased to bring prospective buyers through the homes. We keep in touch just in case we are ever back in the Decatur area looking for a home. We will call our "friend" to help us find that "perfect" home."
Karen & Joe Meeks, Taylorville, Illinois
"Brenda helped us sell our home in Findlay and find our new home in Decatur. Based on that experience, Brenda is the first and only Realtor we will call the next time."
Respectfully, Wayne & Joan London, Decatur
"Brenda always made us feel like finding "our home" was of great importance to her. She always made herself very available to us when we had questions or concerns. Through the years since we purchased our home, Brenda has continued to stay in close contact with us and should the need arise for us to sell our home, we always knew that we would call upon Brenda once again."
Tom & Pat Parr, Mt. Zion
"I was purchasing my first home and I was very unsure about what to expect. Brenda was so understanding and helpful about everything. She truly kept me informed very step of the way. I never felt intimidated, and felt I could call her with any question, no matter how small. Having Brenda as my realtor was a pleasure. I would highly recommend her and her services to anyone looking for a top-quality Realtor."
Stephanie Hurley, Decatur
"In our search and purchase of our first home Brenda was invaluable. Her professionalism, helpfulness and caring is outstanding! We would recommend Brenda to anyone wanting to purchase or sell a home. Good luck in your new joint venture!"
Thank you again, Julie & Gary Hosier, Decatur
"Brenda went out of her way to make sure the sale of our house and purchase of our new home was a pleasant experience and hassle free."
Donnie & Kelli Davis, Decatur
"You are one of the most busy people we know, yet you always found time to return our phone calls with answers for our questions even when it took a little research and a number of phone calls on your part to get them for us. It was so apparent to us that you truely love your work and are very dedicated to it. In fact, I think you thrive on it! You have a talent for being very professional yet making your clients feel like friends. Your continued contact 2-1/2 years later only reinforces that. We would not hesitate for a moment to recommend you to anyone we know who is looking for a new home because we know first hand their experience working with you will be a positive and memorable one."
Sincerely, Larry & Joyce Stewart, Mt. Zion
"Since this was my first experience in the selling or buying of a home, and thus dealing with real estate people, I really had no preconceived notions of either the people or the industry. One advantage I did have was the hearty recommendation of you both from long time friend, Lesli Kauzlarich. Kathy and I will now, also, be glad to recommend you to our friends and family. I can't imagine anyone being easier to work with than you two...Thanks again for your efforts and patience.
Robby & Kathy Moore, Satisfied Customers, Decatur
"First of all, I would like to thank you for your help on our new/first house. You answered our questions promptly and explained things more than once when we did not understand. Thank you so much for the support that you gave us and the confidence that it was all being handled professionally and as quickly as possible. If and when we want to purchase another house we will be sure to contact you again. Even though you were very professional you still kept it personal and friendly. I hope you will continue to be Realtors until we are in need of your services again."
"I hope you continue to do well in your business and be healthy in your personal life."
"Talk to you soon!"
Sincerely, Wendy L. Hayes & Ryan John Marshall Edwards, Decatur
"I don't know how the sale of the house could have gone any smoother, although I also don't know how I could have chosen a WORSE day to actually move. But, now that the blizzard is over and the sun is shining, I realize just how easy it all was."
"I was surprised at how quickly the house sold and how many people came to see it. The network of Realtors you work with seem to cooperate in a way that really gets the word out that a house is for sale."
"I appreciate the way you worked with us on getting the papers signed ahead of time so that Kelly did not have to take time off work. That was a great help. I also don't know beans about real estate, so it was nice having professionals around who took care of it for me."
"Thanks again for everything, and I'll be sure to recommend you to my friends who might want to buy or sell."
Sincerely, Wendi Smith,Decatur
