Testimonials

Dear Anne,

Our very special relationship of over two decades with you began when you and your family moved onto our block, and over the years both of our families grew very close. It was therefore natural for us to turn to you when we considered selling our home.

Your help began with the why and how to think about moving long before we began the process. To each step of the moving process, you brought your wide range of experience and maturity to our thinking. You worked with us tirelessly on how to prepare the house for selling. Your advice on which projects to pursue and which to defer was invaluable. As a neighbor and friend, you handled our neighbors' apprehension and inquisitiveness with confidentiality and grace. Your knowledge of the neighborhood informed us and potential buyers of the specialness of our location. You guided and encouraged us to make sure that each showing our home was ready for the buyers to picture their family living in the house. Your experience with evaluating offers proved especially useful as we learned that completing the sale depended as much on how mortgage institutions viewed the offer as we did.

In sum you were professional, knowledgeable, personable, and easy to work with and most importantly remain our very close friend. We cannot thank you enough and recommend you highly!!!

All the best,

David and Barbara Wirtschafter

Dear Anne,

We would like to thank you for your assistance with the purchase of our home in Valley Village. Your in-depth knowledge of the area, combined with your initiative enabled us to buy our home prior to it being listed on the MLS and without any competitive offers.

We would also like to express our gratitude to you for facilitating the reimbursement of an outstanding claim that we had with our home warranty insurance company. You truly stand behind your assurance of being your client's "agent for life," since this issue post-dated the purchase of our house by 8 months.

We heartily recommend your services to all prospective clients for your exceptional customer attentiveness and satisfaction.

Best Wishes,

Nat and Reine Eisman

Dear Anne,

Our non-profit organization has just completely our second real estate purchase with your expert, professional skills. This property was a foreclosure and it involved numerous wrinkles and complexities. You smoothed the way, attended to each and every detail in a calm and professional manner and brought the transaction to closing on time and without a glitch.

If potential customers were to ask why they should work with you I would say that beyond the obvious -- namely, that you are experienced, professional, fair-minded, and customers-oriented -- you are also unflappable. With transactions where someone -- either the buyer or the seller or the building inspector or the escrow company -- someone or something is likely to raise the tensions around the transactions -- you have the talent to stay focused on the solving the problems.

I can't recommend your services highly enough...and I hope that we will have the opportunity to work together again.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael Held

Anne,
Thanks for taking the time to come over and meet with me yesterday. I think that was the most productive conversation I've had with a real estate agent. I appreciate your honest with me about our situation. I will definately keep your contact info for the future.

Dear Anne,

You did a terrific job in handling the acquisition of our property in Valley Village. As Southern California's only non-profit agency providing housing for the Jewish developmentally disabled, you took the time to become completely familiar with us before looking for the perfect property suitable to the needs of our clients.

Not only did you listen carefully and patiently, but you also took the initiative in looking scrutinizing a property which other realtors certainly would have passed by.

You were extremely generous in your allocation of time, never lost your patience, and multi-tasked brilliantly as the property needed thorough inspection and careful attention through the escrow process.

You were always forthright and informative, available and timely, and carefully and professionally juggled our needs with the vagaries of a troubled and uncertain seller.

I look forward to knowing that in the months ahead as we have the opportunity to occupy the home with our special clients, we will always have the pleasure of knowing that you had a pivotal hand in our purchase and that without your careful and skilled guidance, we might still be looking!

Please let you prospective clients know that I am very satisfied customer and am happy to serve as a reference.

With warmest regards,

Dr. M. H.

'Anne Greenfield was very helpful in purchasing our first home. She was always involved in every step of the purchase and provided us with invaluable advise. Her expert guidance was instrumental in negotiating the best deal for the property. We are very happy with our purchase and we feel fortunate to have had Anne as our realtor. Thank you.'

'Thank you for extending yourself on my behalf to accomplish the closing on the Lindley unit. You really have gone above and beyond the call of duty.'

'Both Bruce and I enjoyed working with you in buying and selling our homes, and now we are enjoying your gift of a wonderful phone, as well. It is an enormous improvement over our last, and now defunct cordless. Many many thanks for a very thoughtful gesture. As you well know, I don't enter into real estate ventures easily or frequently, but I looked forward to our many jaunts and meetings not only because you understood the situation so well, but because it was such a pleasure being with you. Bruce joins me in wishing you and your family well, and in the hope that we will continue to enjoy the friendship which Luisa and Arnold so fatefully initiated.'

'We were referred to Anne Greenfield by family when we were moving to Los Angeles from Boston and looking for a place to rent. Anne found us a wonderful condo that fit our needs perfectly. So perfectly, in fact, that as the end of our one year lease was approaching, we told Anne that we would like to try to buy the place which is what ultimately happened. We were so grateful to Anne for all her work and the way she managed the details. Hopefully, we won't need to, but if we ever should, we would definitely use Anne again'

-P. and E. Isenberg

Anne Greenfield has been a long time friend and realtor of my family for over 20 years. Her loyalty and honesty stand out as among her most important characteristics when it comes to business.

I would never worry about buying any property with Anne.
I know every aspect of the purchase or sale would have been checked out thoroughly, as she is well educated with an analytical mind that can handle any legal or complicated part of the 'deal.'

As a friend Anne and I have been together throughout the good and the bad. She is a true friend and my family and I are enriched by her presence in our lives.

Thank you so much for all your help in selling our old home and purchasing our new home.

As you know, we looked for a new home for over two years. Never once during that time did you pressure us in any way whatsoever. Your tireless energy in finding us the 'right' home did not go unnoticed. You even went as far as talking us out of a house we thought we may want by pleasantly, yet professionally, pointing out all the potential issues and problems we would have encountered. Boy, did you turn out to be right. When you did find the house of our dreams, you pounced on it for us. Although it was highly sought after, your guidance in making the appropriate offer with the appropriate 'package', including a personalized letter and family photo given to the owners, is what sealed the deal. They could have even gotten more money from someone else, but the personal touch spoke to them and we got the house.

Your preparartion in pricing our old home and your guidance in getting our old home ready to be 'shown to the public' was incredible. We really wanted a lot out of our home and you helped us prepare it in such a way that we actually sold our home over asking price the very first day. It was unbelievable. Here we were, asking for the world, and we got more than that. We never would have realized that if it weren't for you.

Your are compassionate and professional. You are energized yet sensitive to all parties. Your are completely honest...possibly to your own detriment. I would never hesitate in refering you to anyone. (and haven't) You are truly a brilliant realtor. Thank you.

'As first-time home buyers, we needed someone who was willing and able to do the extra hand-holding of taking us through the ins and outs of purchasing a home. Anne's expertise and intimate knowledge of the local market made the process painless, and her tips on how to succeed in a red-hot market were exactly on the mark. Furthermore, Anne was responsive throughout the process, from the time we started looking all the way through to close of escrow and beyond.'

Hello Anne:

Deena and I wanted to express our gratitude for the truly professional service you provided us while selling our home. In this day and age, the greatest commodity one can hope to find when working with any individual is honesty and integrity, and our experience with you certainly confirms that you possess such traits.

Let's face it, the real estate profession as a whole has a black eye. Fat commission checks, a growing competition and supply of Realtors, and record low home inventories can easily bring out the worst in any Realtor's personality. Your no-pressure, no-gimmick approach was a breath of fresh air. Whereas with most any other Realtor that we would have possibly worked with we would have feared that"under the table"deals were being struck, with you, it was abundantly clear that you were on our side and only on our side. We don't know of any other Realtor that concedes that it is virtually impossible for a single Realtor to represent the interests of both the Buyer and Seller on the same transaction.

Your creative imagery of what can be done to a house to stage it for showing is simply amazing. As you know, we first encountered you while attempting to purchase a home you were listing on Goodland Avenue in 2003. I remember having walked out of that house feeling, literally, emotionally attached to it. It was your ability to create a cozy, homey, truly fuzzy feeling within the home! You managed to do the same when it came to selling our house (which we both know is not exactly a 5 star resort home!). I can only assume that you are capable of doing that to each home you sell.

We thank you again for your help and support. We wish you and your family nothing but the best.

Truly,

B and D. J.

We felt complete trust and confidence in Anne Greenfield when she helped us sell our condominium in late 2005. Anne is highly experienced, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. She helped us get the best price any two-bedroom condo in our complex has sold for to date.

When we briefly met her 13 years ago, Ms. Greenfield's professionalism made such an impression on us that, upon deciding in summer 2005 to sell our condo and move out of state, we knew we had to have Anne.

Anne came over to answer our questions and explained that to get the best price, we needed to give our unit a bit of a makeover. She helped find us a contractor with excellent credentials and our modest home was soon sparkling for much less expense than we anticipated. She counseled us on smaller touches, helping with furniture placement and getting the rooms focused, and made sure there were always fresh flowers and lots of attractive pillows around.

We have heard that selling the family home is bound to be a stressful proposition. But with Anne, we were never annoyed by salespeople popping in unannounced, and were treated with ultimate respect at every step in the process. Anne was also accommodating and flexible in dealing with all the paperwork involved,, and it was apparent she is a superb negotiator.

We recommend Anne Greenfield to those wishing to sell or buy a home with minimum hassle for the best possible price!

Anne,

Wanted to thank you for selling our house so quickly and for more than we had hoped.
My husband and I were so impressed with your professionality. You took the time to teach us about selling a house and what to expect in the process. You guided us on how to better the look of our house, and visited us whenever we needed to hear your suggestions. You navigated the negotiation with the buyer in a very professional manner, and I admire your patience in negotiating on our behalf those pesky little matters at the very end of the process. A special thank you for your kindness and consideration when we realized that leaving a loved home was not as simple as selling it for a profit.
My husband and I are very thankful to you and would recommend you to anyone with real estate needs (in our area).

Fondly,
N.M.G

Dear Anne,

We are writing to thank you again for everything you did for us as our realtor. We still can't believe how smoothly everything went and how "painless" you made the process! From your first visit through the signing of the last escrow document, it was obvious that you were putting every effort into marketing and selling our home for the best possible price. Your professionalism, thoroughness, creativity, ethics, clear communication, and accessibility were so comforting and confidence building. It was clear that you truly had our best interest at heart and that you were dedicated to helping us achieve our goal.

We have sung your praises to all our friends and associates because we know how fortunate they would be to have you behind them!

With best regards,
Dave & Marcie Paller
