To Whom It May Concern:

Please accept a very warm recommendation for Dee Vogel as your real estate agent. Dee recently assisted us in purchasing our first home in Santa Cruz, and we’re convinced her experience, hard work, and connections within the local real estate community were instrumental in making it happen.

When we first met with Dee, we asked her “What is your philosophy on searching for a home?” Her response convinced us she was the Realtor for us. She wisely replied “I believe the right house for you is out there, and it’s my job to help you find it, no matter how long it takes, or how many houses we have to look at.” And she was right! We went through four grueling bidding situations before we finally “hit.” She helped us through the disappointments be cheerfully reminding us that “there will always be another house – the right one is out there for you.”

Dee is very well regarded in the local market. Selling agents (at open houses that we attended without her) always perked up when we mentioned her name. She also has very good working relationships with local housing inspectors and renovation vendors. This is very important, as we were able to line up our contractors to begin work immediately after we closed escrow. In addition, she recommended the mortgage broker, who helped us secure a great financing package.

As you have probably learned by now, this is a very difficult market and you need someone that is trustworthy and has a solid local reputation to advocate for you. Dee is that person. Her high ethics and customer service were demonstrated on multiple occasions. As a buying or selling agent, Dee will be tenacious in how she represents your best interests.

Sincerely,

Matthew Henry & Kevin Rasmussen
