"As I Sit in My Chair"

by Providence Vargas Ponomaroff

THANK YOU...

As I sit in my chair In my living room, Looking out my window and door,I see beautiful green trees, Hear the birds singing, The chimes on my inviting porch chime. On Sundays I get church bells ringing. There are ice cream trucks, various types. There are "entrepeneurs" who sell Raspadas and elote. Family gatherings. Grandchildren playing in the yard. All this and much more because you Believed in me. I thank you for this, not just today on this piece of paper, but regularly in my prayers.As I sit in my chair!

Love,
Providence

"My experience with Lydia was one tht was quite positive. She was extremely professional and very responsive to my needs. I look forward to working with her again".

Lydia  has been our family's real estate agent for over 12 years.  She helped us find and get into our first home in 1988.  After our family grew and grew, I called her again and said "I need a bigger house!"  I told her where we wanted to live, our price range, how many rooms, etc., and ta-da-she found it.  Now, this house was way above our financial limits and she said "do you want this one?" and we said "Yes!"  and then TA-DA!  She talked the owner into a price we could afford and we bought our 2nd new house.

She also researched the market for us when it came time to sell our first house and advised us to keep it as a rental (so as to not lose money)  She managed this propoerty for us for over 5 years.  All without a hitch.  When it came time to sell, she got us the best possible price for it and we were very happy with that sale.
Finally and most recently, I gave her a call and said we needed to speak to someone about refiancing our current home.  I was hoping for a referral and what do you know? ta-da-she handled it herself!  We were soooo pleased with the end results.  We told her that we needed to have so much money out of it and she "got it done"  AGAIN! Needless to say, I have never had a problem referring her to my friend and family.  I reallly trust her and her professional judgments. 

Lydia has been a great asset to me and my family and do wholeheartedly recommend her to any person and family looking to buy, sell or re-fianance real estate property.

On behalf of my family, and myself, my thanks go to Lydia Santa Cruz for the outstanding job she did with regard to both the sale of my home, and the purchase of my new home.  Her knowledge of the business, immediate response to my numerous questions and requests, and her unwavering “can do” attitude made both transactions painless.  Because she was so knowledgeable, conscientious, and caring, I was confident with decisions I made throughout the whole process.  I would gladly, and without reservation, recommend her to family and friends…that says it all.

Thanks to Lydia, I've found the perfect place for me.  For a single man, she found the perfect two bedroom condo for me.  Great neighborhood, easy access to the freeways, and a great deal, that she walked me though step by step.  Thanks again Lydia for all of your help!!!

Dear Lydia

 2006 was a huge year for us! We not only had eight months to plan a wedding but also had 2 homes to sell and a third home to purchase all in the same year. When the time came to decide which agent we could entrust with what seemed like an insurmountable task, we thought of you. You were the selling agent for one of our homes when it was bought in 1986 and were a neighbor and ultimately, a friend. It was important to have an agent who was professional, conscientious, and knowledgeable because of what we had to accomplish in such a short amount of time. It was an added benefit that you know the area not only as an agent but also as a resident.

 In the spring, we presented you with our first house to sell. With your professional guidance and an established list of clients to call upon, you were able to sell the house quickly with a short escrow.

 In the summer, we were fortunate to the home of our dreams to purchase. Our new house was not going to be completed until the end of the year. Our plan was to pout the second house up for sale in October and hope that we could sell lit and close escrow at the same time that our new home would be ready to move into. It wasn’t until November that we put the house on the market with the added pressure of the holiday season, as well as an earlier move-in date than we anticipated. You remained positive and hopeful that we could potentially sell the house and close escrow in time, allaying our fear that we may have to indefinitely pay two mortgages.

 Once again with your professional expertise, we were able to sell the house quickly and at a fair price. We will always remember getting your phone call on Christmas night when you gave us the news of our first and what would be our only offer. It was the best present we could have received! The 21 day close  worked our perfectly as it allowed us to transition right out of our house and into our new home Thank you for everything you’ve done for us! You had a big role in helping make our dreams a reality!

We would not hesitate to call upon you again should we ever need to buy or sell a home and we would gladly recommend you to friends and family should they be in need of as reliable and efficient agent.

Sincerely,
Rob and Bonnie Rodriguez.

Dear Lydia Santa Cruz,

 Thank you for your expert services in your field of realty.

As a seller, I was impressed with your ability to light a fire under my former husband, encouraging him and suggesting upgrades to him to make the house a better

home for the buyer.   You were able to get him to paint both the outside and inside of the home, install new carpeting and flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms, and quite a few other necessary repairs and fixes.    Knowing the tendency of my lesser half to let the house slide, (and I mean that literally), you performed a rainbow of miracles. 

 When we thought the sale of the home was going to fall apart, because paperwork was not in to the buyers lender, you persevered with the buyer to make it happen, even if it was nearly a month later than the original close of escrow.  And when the escrow closed and my lesser half's lien was not paid as scheduled, you went the extra mile to ensure that, hopefully, no long-term harmful effects occurred. 

 I am so very grateful that the lawyers chose you to perform this service for us, and I have, and will continue, to sing your praises.  Hopefully the funds will not be tied up too long at the lawyers, and you will be able to assist me in finding my own dream home!

 With profound gratitude,

 B. L S.
