"Just want to say, 'Thank You, from the bottom of my heart' for the way you handled the selling of the house."
- Lorene Smith

"Rick,
Thanks so much for all the extra work you have done for Debra and I on the sale of our two properties. We are aware and appreciate that you certainly did much more than is required of a Realtor and, as such, have taken the liberty of writing a letter to your broker expressing our appreciation.
We also wish you continued success in your real estate pursuits, and will certainly refer to you anyone needing the services of a top-flight Realtor in the Seattle area.
Thanks again,"
- Jay McElroy

"Dear Mr. Bruce;
I am writing to you to express my sincere appreciation of an absolutely superb job performed recently by one of your agents, Mr Rick Grimes, in selling a house I had listed with your company.
My wife and I have been very active in the buying, operating and selling of residential and commercial real estate for 15 years, and have never encountered an agent who was better at his job than Rick. Time and time again Rick performed above and beyond what one would normally expect from an agent, and there is no doubt that the ultimate closure of this transaction was due primarily to his persistence and foresight.
My thanks again for an outstanding job by Mr Grimes and your company. Should we be asked for recommendations regarding Seattle area Realtors, Rick Grimes will most certainly be at the top of the list."
Sincerely,
- Jay and Debra McElroy

"Dear Rick:
We really appreciated your advice and expertise through what seemed to us an overwhelming project."

"Hello Rick,
Diane and I wanted to say 'Thanks' for all the help you gave us involving our purchase and the sale of our home. We now realize that there is a lot of legwork to be done to make a sale. Realtors deserve a lot of credit for getting things together. We are thankful for the opportunity to work with you and hope our paths will cross again in the near future."
- John and Diane Runkel

'I was very impressed with your knowledge, diligence, cooperation and concern for the welfare of all parties concerned."

Thank you for your excellence in marketing our home. You were always professional and supportive. If we ever need real estate services again, you'll be the first one we call."
- Jeff and Suzanne Iversen

"Rick,
It seems odd not to talk with you every day about the home search. But we've now travelled that road and are starting the journey of being home owners! It's very exciting.
Thank you so much for taking us through the process. We appreciate the time and information that you provided. You can definitely add us to your reference list! Please take care, "
- Tricia Belcastro and Scott Koenig

"I own an escrow company and have worked with many agents over the years. Rick is one of those agents. He is passionate about his clients, his career as a realtor and the industry he serves. When I was ready to buy my house I selected Rick to work with. His patience with me during the buying process was extraordinary. Rick's clients come first, he is there every step of the way to guide them through their journey. I have recommended Rick, both in my professional life and personal life and will use his services again should I ever sell my home."

" ... Your successful closing, however, could not have been accomplished without the professionalism and experience of Rick Grimes. Rick helped to ensure that each step of the transaction was completed in a timely fashion. You were fortunate to have him as part of your team! One of the nicest ways to thank him is to refer your family and friends. Rick will most certainly provide them with the same courtesy and service as you received."

Written to Will Bruce, Owner, Windermere Real Estate, Woodinville ...

"Dear Will;
I wanted to thank your company, and commend our agent on the recent sale of our home, and purchase of our new home. I had selected Rick Grimes as our agent when we started thinking about moving a number of years ago. I knew Rick through his work with the Northshore YMCA where I am employed.
Two or three times since that original date, we discussed moving, and met with Rick. Each time he took the time to show us our options, work some numbers, and visit some properties. This winter, we started the process again, and again Rick was very patient and worked with us, even though none of the other sessions resulted in a sale.
This time around we did find a house we liked, sold our home and bought the new house. Rick did an outstanding job of representing us throughout the entire process. He was able to look ahead and catch all of the many details of sale and pruchase. His coaching on staging the house was excellent and resulted in a quick sale at a price that was more than I expected. On the purchase of the new home, he continued to remind us of all of the little issues in purchase and moving.
I want to recognize the excellent work and representation I received from Rick Grimes. He is a great asset to your company, and I would highly recommend him and Windermere Real Estate. I appreciate all of the support and advice I have received throughout the process."
Sincerely,
- Peter and Nanci Morris
New Home Owners

"Please be advised that in regard to the reputation, ethics and experience of Mr Grimes as a real estate broker and salesperson, I have been acquainted with him for at least ten years and have been associated with him, during this time, as a contemporary in closings of real estate transactions with his sellers and buyers. I have always found Rick to be an experienced and ethical salesperson, concerned for the value of the services he performs for his clients, and willing to expend the effort necessary to complete their transactions to their satisfaction.
I have observed that he has excellent knowledge of real estate transactions and gives his clients the advantage of his expertise and experience."

"Dear Rick,
As I was unable to catch you in the office before I left the states, I just wanted to drop a note to you to thank you for your efforts in the purchase of the house in Bothell in May. I was very satisfied with the way that everything turned out, and particularly happy that everything could be wrapped up (including a lease with tenants in the house) in the time that was available. I am appreciative of your help in getting everything taken care of.
Again, thanks very much for your help, and I hope to see you on a future swing through Seattle. Until then, say hello to the rain for me, and enjoy."
Sincerely,
- Roger Meece

"Dear Rick;
Thank you for the follow up note on my one year anniversary of owning my home. It always makes me feel like an important customer when I continue to receive service even after the transaction has been completed. I also wanted to thank you for assisting me in finding the right property for myself and Gayle. It has not only been exactly what we asked for as far as a property and residence, it has been a great investment.
Thank you again for all of your assistance, you made purchasing a home a very easy task."
- Frank Guthrie
PS Gayle and I are getting married.

"Hi Rick!
Greetings from Ohio! Thanks for your note sometime ago. John and I want to thank you for all your efforts in making our house sale a most pleasant if not exciting experience. It's just nice memories now all in the past.
John wanted me to ask you for the name of that lubricant you used on our front door lock? For some reason he needs it now! I will close thanking you again for a job well done!"
Sincerely,
Kathy Banks
