Selling Your Home Presented by DiosanaGroup Powered by Keller Williams 1
10++ Customer Service Joe did a fantastic job selling our home quickly and for a good price, despite competition from new developments all around us. He read the wild market very well and put a plan in place that achieved excellent results. We feel very lucky to have had him on our side. Jim & Sarah Bankson I can t say enough how much I appreciate all of your hard work and determination in getting this house to close escrow! You are so easy to work with, with your thoughtfulness, your great communicative style and enthusiastic personality that made this experience so easy to get through. Amie Clark, California Joe is honest and has good integrity and tuned into my wishes for my perfect home very quickly. Helen Croskell, London You are definitely not an average Joe. We are so impressed by your selling strategy and educational material. You always think about the best interest to your clients based on the reality and your preparation is always 110% before putting the house on the market for sell or lease especially in current soft real estate market. You always follow-up and provide update to your clients within few hours the same day and it is so hard to find. You have whole team working for you and we were so happy and made the right decision to ask you to represent us selling our house in a downtown transition area. Some of them took 6 months to 1 year to sell their houses, but you sold our house with 6 days. We highly recommend you to any of your potential clients. Joe is very professional and knowledgeable. His strategic planning even better than my MBA class when I was in graduate school. We wouldn t hire anyone to represent us for selling or buying our house except Joe Diosana. Thank you so much., Robert and Jeannie 2
