Joan Paglia

It is my pleasure to tell you how pleased my wife, Barbara, and I have been in our dealings with Carolyn Burton of your office. 

Carolyn represented us in our recent purchase of our home and thanks to her knowledge, skill, professionalism, responsiveness and personal caring the process could not have been smoother.  She and her assistant Fran were always available to us and they went out of their way to take the stress out of this process for us.  I can go on and on but perhaps a simple statement is better - Carolyn Burton is an excellent realtor.

We will be recommending Carolyn, and Sun Lakes Realty to our friends who are interested in relocating to this area.

We have lived in Sun Lakes for 10 years, and contacted Carolyn to buy another house in Sun Lakes.  Carolyn's service has always been excellent!
Karen Lochray

We picked Carolyn because we originally met her in 2004 and although we didn?t purchase from the realty company, she showed us what was available and was helpful in our decision to buy in the area.  We like her!!

Richard & Gail Pepper

 

Carolyn Burton & her staff did an outstanding, excellent job, as usual.  It took 10 months, but we did it.  Joseph Shepard

 

Carolyn did an excellent job for us ? went above & beyond my expectations! 

William Liedlich

 

Carolyn has a wealth of knowledge of this community. 

Randy Eden

 

First, Carolyn & her team did a great job closing this deal with a difficult buyer and market. The only suggested improvement would be to stay closer to new developer offerings.  They were changing much more rapidly than recommendations or listing prices, however, still a great job in a very ruff market.  Robert Reynolds

 

This transaction was swift!  So fast that I cannot rate the right column!  They had a buyer before the listing.  They were very thoughtful, kind, professional, courteous, helpful and so much more!  Thank you! 

Carol Dobos

 

Carolyn and her team were great, even in this challenging market  - no surprise she?s your top seller!  Mary McGrath

Carolyn Burton sold us this house 20 years ago.  She's always been fantastic to us.  Thanks Carolyn!  You're the Best!
Catherine Ryan

Carolyn Burton is the best Realtor we've ever worked with. 
Dennis Teffeteller

Carolyn did a very good job in communicating under sometimes different circumstances 
Jim Hemingway

 

Was only listed one week - hard to say what worked best - may have just been a great buy!!
Warren Keith

 

Great Job!  My father knew Carolyn and Sun Lakes Realty so my decision was easy. 
Lyle Risk

 

Fran was very good at finding and showing exactly what we were interested in 
Francis Ronan


Dear Carolyn, I wish to thank you for all the help and support you have given me in the sale of my home in Sun Lakes. I appreciate your efforts over the past 2 years and I am so thankful everything went smoothly.  I'm sure that's because of your expertise.

Charlie and I had a wonderful life in Sun Lakes and never regretted moving there but I am now enjoying being near my family here in Houston and able to do so many things together.
Jane McAdams

Carolyn's confidence that the property would sell was reassuring. She is knowledgeable of the market, competent, steady.  She was always available.  I felt she was working for me, not her commission.
Gary Paolino

Carolyn was wonderful and was always available to take us out and find the house that fit us.  We are very happy!
Sandra Elsworth

I felt like I had a friend looking out for me!  Please Thank Carolyn.

Melinda Jones was excellent throughout the entire process
Barbara F. Meyn

Melinda Jones has the experience, integrity, follow-up and patience necessary to market the property in a down market.

George Younkheene

 

We chose Melinda Jones.  We saw her ad in the neighborhood.  She was so helpful and did a great job.  We were happy with her advice.  Good luck to your office.  I know the market is off and you do do your best.  We had listed with two other agents and got absolutely no clients in 2 in 1 ? years.  Saw Solera Resales and figured they?re the agents and Melinda was.  She was so encouraging and understanding.  Gave good advice and we were so pleased.  We took a big hit, but did need to sell for reason of illness.  With so many Trillions on the market, she sold ours.  We wish her the best.

Mr. & Mrs. Floyd Santora

 

First off, my wife Tari and I would like to say that your small, but mighty little agency was a delight to work with.  From the very beginning everyone involved with Sun Lakes Realty were friendly and professional, from the receptionist that I first spoke with to the owners of the agency.  In today?s market that is hard to find.  Normally it is all about money and although we know that money is a necessary evil, your agency never made us feel like that was a priority.  My wife and I would like to give your agent, Melinda Jones, an A+ for a job that exceeded the duties of a real estate agent.  She kept us informed on every upcoming event and went out of her way on many occasions to assist us when most would not have.  My wife and I can?t say enough great things about Melinda, she is a true blessing to have as an employee and agent.

 

Our experience with Sun Lakes Realty  has been a wonderful one and we pray that you will post this short message on your bulletin board for all to read.  Thanks again!!  And may our Lord and Savior, bless you all! 

Mr. & Mrs. John Fentress

 

Agent was wonderful!!

Gerald Harvey

 

Overall, a good relationship.  Final sale was predicated on sellers desire to sell in a down market in order to accomplish previous commitments on a new home out of state.

Don & Joyce Stillings

 

Sun Lakes Realty has employed the most competent and pleasant sales agent possible, in the person of Melinda Jones.  Thank you

 Bob Oesterlein
 Broker Associate, SRES
 Sun Lakes Resident

Our Agent, Bob, was very helpful, courteous, responsive, caring, knowledgeable and just a very professional person to deal with.  He really went over and above in making this purchase happen and we are very grateful to him.
Lloyd & Marianne Thomas

Bob 'O' is great to work with.
Steve Munday

Bob is great!  Always available, informative and his help beyond call of duty!
John & Helen Carlson

By nature, I do not like spending money - Bob "O" made the process "enjoyable".  He was on my side throughout.  Many thanks to him.
Donald Brotherton

I have bought 7 houses, I have never had an agent do as much work as Bob did.  He is the best I have ever dealt with. 
Dennis & Jean Hix

The property we have could not of happened without the help of Bob O.  He is the Best!  Thank you Bob for all you have done for us.
Tom & Rita Capps

Rather than answering the questions on the form, I feel it would be better to answer by letter because I live in Ohio and was not in Banning while the condo was for sale.  I have not met Bob Oesterlein in person.  All our contacts were by telephone and mail.  I feel he did a tremendous job at a time when real estate was not at its best.  He kept me well informed on what progress was being made towards a sale.  I was sent copies of the ads he ran on the condo.  He made contacts with my attorney there in Banning with regards to the Probate requirements.  All in all, I would say he did a 10 job and I am grateful

Gloria Armitage

 

We were happy with the services Sun Lakes Realty and Bob Oesterlein provided

Your broker associate, Bob Oesterlein's professionalism, communication and love of what he does, made our long distance home purchase experience smooth and hassle free.  On a personal note, Bob "O" has been of great help over the normal call of duty and it is very much appreciated by us both.

 The McRaes
 Larry-President/Broker, CRB, SRES
 Cheri-CFO/Administration

The McRae's suggested we make extensive upgrades to our house.  Their construction and design expertise turned our tired, old house into a beautiful, like-new home.  They handled the entire project-selecting paint, flooring, carpet, bathroom vanities and mirrors, etc., and hiring subcontractors to do the work.  Upon completion the house was beautiful-just like new - and it sold in one month.  Larry and Cheri took a very personal interest in our project.  They were constantly in touch with us by phone and email.  Their advertising included a barbeque open house, Saturday Showcase, glossy flyer, internet virtual tour and lovely accessory pieces in the home.  We feel blessed the McRae's made the suggestion to upgrade our house and were willing to take on such a big project.  We give them an A+ rating as professional, knowledgeable and very pleasant people to work with.

Dennis & Lee Ann Jenson
