If prospective clients read this letter, I have only two things to say. First, hire this man to sell your house. Second, do what he says, he knows what he's doing.

"It has been nearly a year since you sold our house for us. We are way overdue in expressing our appreciation for the very professional and expeditious way in which you handled our sale.

"Tim and I approached you because several Willamette University friends had spoken so highly of their experience with you. You were a great help when we were preparing our house for market, saving us money by advising against some changes we thought might be necessary and suggesting others that were beneficial. Your counsel on pricing our house proved to be wise.

"While our house was on the market, you kept in regular touch even though we were not living in the house. I appreciated knowing what was happening. When we found a house we liked here, you moved quickly to get ours sold even when the first buyer fell through. As a result, we did not miss out on this house which we are enjoying very much.

"Through the whole process you were helpful, knowledgeable, and reassuring. Thank you for your good work."
- Tim & Barbara Mahoney


"We wanted to drop a line to thank you for all the effort you put in to selling our home in Salem. It's hard to believe that at the first of October you listed our home and it closed December 17th.

"You provided us with some good pointers on how to prepare the house to look its best; you found excellent people that were able to make necessary repairs quickly and competently.

"Finally, we appreciate all the time and effort that you devoted to closing this transaction. It says a lot for your dedication and sales ability."
- Bart & Sue Poston


"Jan and I wanted to send you a letter in appreciation of your efforts to sell our home in Salem.

"At no time have I ever seen a broker undertake such a vast array of services to sell a home. You told us, tactfully but clearly, what small changes we should make in our home's appearance to make it more marketable. This web site is by far the best realtor's website we've seen, and we've seen plenty in the course of shopping for our own home!

"You provided invaluable assistance in negotiating the final price and terms with the buyer's broker, making sure that we obtained an agreement that served the interests of both parties.

"In short, we could not have been more pleased. Your calm guidance and professional efforts made the experience as pain-free as it could possibly be. We have already passed your name on to others who may be selling their homes in the near future."
- Bob Ackerman


"Mark, I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for the way in which you have handled our Real Estate transaction. You demonstrated a high level of professionalism and I have found you to be a person of integrity.

"Over the last twenty-five years, I have been involved in several Real Estate transactions, sometimes as buyer and others, as seller. Additionally, I have worked with many Real Estate organizations as a Mortgage Banker, in a professional capacity, and others for my own personal needs. I have seldom found, if ever, the level of knowledge and honesty in a Real Estate Professional. You were always available to answer questions, address problems with a "can do" approach, and keep my specific needs at the forefront while finding solutions - at times, very difficult to find.

"Mark, I couldn't end this letter without acknowledging the wonderful contribution that your assistant, Bonnie Spurgeon, has also made on this project. You make a great team.

"Again, thanks for all you have done. Please don't hesitate to use me as a reference. I highly recommend you and your team to meet anyone's Real Estate needs."
- John C. Scott


"In 1990 I started investing in real estate in Salem, OR. Early in my search for investment properties I met Mark Redfield, who has since become a close adviser in real estate transactions -- both investments and personal living accommodations.

"Within a short period of time after meeting Mark we closed transactions on two investments properties. Between 1990-1992, I consulted with Mark on a number of additional investments. In 1995 Mark worked closely with me in selling two duplexes and transferring the equity through a 1031 exchange into an apartment complex. This was a complex transaction as the exchange property was in receivership. Mark worked closely with the many parties involved, completing the exchange in an efficient and timely manner. Mark's professional guidance in the selection of an exchange facilitator, inspectors and property manager was invaluable to me as an investor.

"Mark has also assisted me in locating agents in Portland and in Sunriver, OR, for other properties I was marketing. In both cases it was not just the normal referral but Mark personally went to both locations and interviewed several agents to determine which agent was most suitable for accomplishing a professional marketing strategy. He also provided counsel as offers were negotiated and transactions closed.

"Whenever I have had need for professional advice, I have been confident I could turn to Mark and receive his honest professional evaluation. I whole heartedly recommend Mark as being a dependable, honest and a thoroughly professional realtor, whether your real estate goals are as an investor or involve your personal home."
