Thanks for making my dream come true!  A lesser agent had told me I couldn't afford my new house, but your knowledge of the area, the industry and how to get things done has put me in my house of dreams!  One of my friends, a stay-at-home mom, was running a similar transaction and was amazed that a single girl like me could be so calm in the face of all the complicated details.  She wondered how I did it and I told her that a team of trained professiona...

Selling or buying a house is a daunting process due to the many requirements imposed by the many laws, codes and local customs. Smart people realize early on in the process you need to have someone you can trust who will aggressively push for your best interests...

I am writing to inform you of our wonderful experience working with Pam Blackman in both selling our previous house and purchasing a new one. When my husband and I were looking for a Realtor, Pam was recommended to us by a family friend and our mortage broker, both of whom said, "Pam is the A+ of Realtors, you will not be disappointed." After our experience working with Pam, we would like to let you know how strongly we feel that she is the best in t...

I’d like to testify on my house buying experience and how important role my real estate agent played in the dream of owning becoming reality. As a first-time homebuyer I approached house-buying process with a lots of caution, not knowing what to expect. I was glad to find out during our first conversation with George and Karen Black that there will be somebody looking out for my interests. George listened to what my situation was and then he explained entire...

I first discovered George & Karen’s web site while I was in New York preparing for a move to California. I was impressed with the excellent usability and quality of their web site but even more impressed with the quick and personal follow-ups that Karen provided. Although my wife and I were not sure about buying a home at the beginning, when we became ready to start looking around, I contacted Karen without hesitation. We looked at a dozen properties t...

Ian and Lailani Dalhuisen didn't really know if they could afford a home, but they were hoping. "I was surfing the Internet and found George's site on HouseHunt.com and really liked it," Lailani recalled. "It was easy to use, not a lot of ads and lots of good information and listings. But it wasn't the only site I looked at. I sent e-mail requests to three or four agents. But George was the only one to respond and he did so right away. “The couple was living in an...

George and Karen, I wanted to take a moment and commend both of your for the exceptional services you provided to me during my quest to find housing.  I call it a quest, because that is what it seemed like, a true quest!  As you know, I was relocating from the East Coast to the Bay Area.  I was totally unfamiliar with this area and the housing market overall.  Needless to say, I was in a state of sticker shock!  You took the time to get me familiar with the area, and t...

I appreciated all the help from George in my search for my first home. From the very beginning, he explained the process of buying a home, emphasizing advantages and disadvantages. His thorough searches of available properties were excellent. There was a point in time when I became very frustrated with the whole idea and process, but he remained positive. George was also very receptive of all the questions my family posed on my behalf. For his patience...

We decided to start looking for a house on the Internet last August after getting married in June," said Brad McGoran. "We looked at a lot of sites and talked to many, many people. George was by far the most personable and responsive. He was totally accommodating, even before we committed to him. We are very picky. We wanted to control the search. George understood completely and set us up on an e-mail system that notified when homes matching our cri...

It's hard for me to express in words my gratitude for all that you did. Living out of state and knowing you were there gave me peace of mind at a time when I had so many other family issues to deal with. Even though we're at a distance from you I tell everyone about the best real estate agent I've ever had. Please use me as a reference if you want for anyone moving anywhere.
