Ginna is the greatest. Throughout the process we always felt like Ginna had our best interests in mind and was working to take care of us. She gives straight answers, is never phony and treats you like a friend/member of the family. We always had and continue to have to utmost confidence in her ethics and abilities. She was the perfect fit for our home-buying experience.

To my dear friends,

I want to let the two of you, and everybody who may ever be in the market to sell their house, know what a wonderfully rewarding, and satisfying experience it has been working with you two ladies, and watching you two experts, and your subcontractors "get er done"!!

I will never forget sitting on my front porch, that first evening, with the two of you as you filled me in on the game plan. I was in awe, and wondering if this was a doable project.

I poured over the booklet you gave me, and I knew it's contents like the back of my hand. I watched as you did everything you said you were going to do and in the order you detailed in the booklet. Very Impressive!!

Ginna, when you said "this house will sell very quickly", I knew you knew precisely what you were talking about. You follow my philosophy to the letter .... that being, you plan your work, and you work your plan.

Vicki Dampier had said to me, this gal is a real mover and shaker. She said just sit back and watch her work. It will blow you away!!!!!! She's right .... it did!

To top it all off, the house selling in 7 days really put that frosting on the cake! Wow! Just like you said it would right from the beginning.

Special bonus for me, I had the opportunity to meet two fabulous friends. I only wish that we had met earlier in life ..... I'm so glad you will both be coming to visit and see my new home.

Thank you so much for helping me make my life's dream come true. I will never for get you.

Love you,

Phyllis

Ginna Arnold-Lazar is superb! She is one of those rare individuals who senses the client's needs even before they're expressed. She understands and sees clearly the objective: Market the property to obtain the best and highest result. But somehow, in her wake, everyone knows that his life has been enriched by becoming acquainted with this articulate, caring, sophisticated and utterly professional lady. She's never too concentrated on the objective to express genuine, caring, personal concern for everyone involved in the transaction.

Beyond what I say about Ginna, I sense that there is a truly unique thing happening at Seville. Two things that stand out in my mind are professionalism (to a tee) and a team approach. They really do operate as a team. Admittingly, some of the teamwork success should be attributed to Ginna's magnificent organizational skills and efforts, but it is clear that Seville has created a teamwork ethic in their practice. That environment just allows Ginna to shine.

It doesn't seem to phase Ginna or the others at Seville that circumstances surrounding a real estate transaction might be complicated by distance, time zones, communications, legal or any other issue. She and the team just roll with the punches and make it happen to the complete satisfaction of both seller and buyer.

If you ever have the opportunity to list a Bay Area property with Ginna at Seville Properties, jump at the chance! It can't produce anything but a great result.

We had been looking to purchase a house for over two years, but were unable to find the right house at the right price. We started working with Ginna in January and immediately were impressed with her professionalism. We felt comfortable working with her and confident having her represent us to sellers.

Although this is a difficult market for most buyers, after we were working with Ginna, it did not take us long to locate the type of house we wanted to live in and start out family. We appreciate Ginna's help in finding our house and presenting a successful offer.

After our offer was accepted, Ginna was outstanding! There are so many details to resolve with so many other people, from loan agents to escrow agents. Her qualities of integrity, diligence, and the ability to be simultaneously charming and form helped to make our homebuying experience more successful and pleasant.

A few weeks ago, we moved into our house. As we are unpacking, and adding our personal touches, it feels more and more like home every day. We would like to thank our agent, Ginna, and everyone else at Seville Properties for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Bobbie and Warren Horowitz

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your assistance to my brothers and me in selling our mothers home. Additionally, I would like to thank you for taking the special interest in my mother and making the arrangements necessary to assist her with the cleaning and packing required. As you know, not being in town, this was a little more challenging. However, your courtesy, professionalism, and competence made the smooth transition almost effortless.

Once again, I would like to thank you for your time, consideration, patience and compassion in the sale of my mother's home.

Very truly yours,

Steven H. Wilhelm

We shall start with the bottom line: It doesn’t get any better than this.

Ms. Arnold-Lazar performed with stunning professionalism the handling of my elderly mother’s transition from her home of 45 years to necessary assisted living. Ms Arnold-Lazar waited for hours while my mother was at a medical appointment just to be able to meet her personally, and be able to tell her in person that she would take good care of this home of so many decades with the love and sensitivity that my mother needed to hear to be able to leave it without trepidation.

Ms Arnold-Lazar proceeded to refurbish this home with decisive vision, talent, insight, good taste, and a love for the property charming as it is. She knew what to do, how to do it, where to obtain what she needed, and assembled a most able team to carry out the work.

This lady was totally capable of getting the job done, putting the right people together, making the correct decisions, of acquiring appropriate professional advertising. In addition to that, she is an absolute delight with whom to work--bright, intelligent, capable, sensitive and practical.

It doesn’t get any better than this. If she decides to take you as a client, feel that you are fortunate.

Many thanks for all your hard work in selling the house. You and your office went well beyond the call of duty. My siblings and I are happy to have it all behind us, and thank you again for your hard work, professionalism, and upbeat approach through it all.

When we needed to sell my parents' townhome, we decided that professionalism and direct neighborhood experience were critically important. The owners of the home next door were thrilled with Ginna's results, and they were right: her 'turnkey' process got the home on the market quickly, and her client-focused attitude was outstanding.

Ginna expedited all the work the home needed, created top-of-the-line marketing materials and advertising, and got the house SOLD! She could be a member of the Boy Scouts: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent … plus she gets the job done!
