RealEstate-MI.com...Testimonials of Spencer "Pep" Geisen

Two numbers: 2009 and 25.

The year 2009 was a tough year to sell a house, yet we needed to sell our house. Times were tough and even though we loved our house, we needed to downsize. We had used another realtor to list our house and for six months we didn't get an offer. During that time we had many friends and neighbors ask how the process was going, more often than not we would hear: "I had good luck with Pep, when we listed." We had not put much thought into picking a realtor when we originally listed, it just happened. As it turned out, our contract ran out and my wife and I thought about what to do for a couple weeks. We were running out of time and we were getting a little concerned. We decided to call Pep and ask what he thought, a meeting was planned and before we knew it, we had an offer the very next day! Pep was very thorough and gave us information and very good estimates on closing costs, etc… 25 days from the day we called Pep we closed on our house! Maybe some of that was good luck, but I think a lot of it was hard work. My wife and I didn't really put much thought and care into picking out a realtor before we called Pep. We know better now. We can't say enough about the professionalism and courtesy we received from Pep through the selling of our home. We recommend that you talk to Pep before you decide on just "selling" your house.

Chances are you might have it sold in 25 days.

Spencer,

Hope you are doing well. The Hadleys are doing great! We are moving in to our home tomorrow afternoon. 2 weeks earlier than we had anticipated.. I spoke to Denise a couple of times as she was concerned about getting us in ASAP. We are very thankful for having found you as our realtor. You truly went above and beyond any expectations we may have had for a realtor amid the whole buying and selling process. You showed a great deal of integrity in your dealings with us and you really made it a wonderful experience and we appreciate it greatly. We pray that you have a great and restful Thanksgiving and Christmas season with your family, and we pray that God will bless the Geisen household greatly.

Thank You again,

Steve and Teri

Spencer "Pep" Geisen has been our realtor for both the sale of our "old home" as well as the purchase of our "new one". We have really appreciated several things about Spencer and his work on our behalf. First, we found him to be extremely professional and knowledgeable about the in's and out's of selling and buying in this economy. While helping us think through what might fit our need, he would consistently point out the benefit or downfall of all of the properties we considered. We felt that he had our best interest in mind as opposed to trying to convince us of something just to get a sale. Likewise, we appreciated Spencer's readiness and promptness to follow up on all aspects of the home sale and search. Such an approach to helping the customer is a difficult balance between not wanting to overwhelm or bug the customer while still keeping them informed. Spencer always showed this balance. At the beginning of the process, we interviewed a few other realtors before choosing Spencer, and now that we are at the end point we are convinced we made the right choice. That alone should tell anybody looking for a realtor to consider Spencer. More than once we found ourselves saying, "everybody needs a Spencer".

"We can enthusiastically recommend Spencer "Pep" Geisen as a professional realtor, as well as a person of intellect and integrity, to friends, family and the general public. His high level of expertise, energy, and attention to detail enabled us to feel much more confident when negotiating the purchase of our home in Rockford. He actively sought our input and incorporated it into each stage of the sales process. Spence took the initiative around raising issues that could have been problematic and found the resources to resolve any potential concerns. He provided practical advice around construction issues and recommended competent and trustworthy local resources. His professional expertise around financial and legal regulations that could have affected the contractual and closing aspects of the sale was truly impressive. Spence is a most effective negotiator and we were very pleased with the terms of the purchase agreement he wrote. Perhaps most important, his calm manner and sensitive approach helped us maintain a relaxed, positive attitude during a process that could have been extremely stressful. We feel extremely fortunate that our mom recommended Pep and we likewise feel very confident in recommending him to others!"

"Before we contracted your services in February 2007, I [Kay] had spoken to one of your newest clients.She spoke highly of your professionalism and your services. This, along with the information I already had about Greenridge and you, Spencer, was all we needed to make the final decision to employ your services rather than continue with our previous agent. We had all faith in you that you would sell our home in a reasonable amount of time . . . What little did we (all) know that the housing market would take such a sour turn! Who could foresee the onset of the current recession? We certainly had no idea the difficulty we would have (like so many others) in selling our house. Your many years of experience, creativeness, and persistence paid off when you came up with the idea of getting a potential buyer into our house as a renter and then finding the perfect couple. We're not saying the process was easy or everything went just perfectly smooth. What we do want to say is that we are so grateful to have chosen you as our realtor. We could not possibly have had anyone who could have given us any greater service or greater attention. We truly believe you took our personal interests to heart and thank you. Every step of the way, no matter how minor, you gave your immediate attention to our needs. We felt we were your "number one" client. And again since the market was so poor, your idea of getting someone into our (former) home as a renter proved to be the perfect solution to our situation. We will continue to recommend you to anyone we know or that may need your services! Please do hesitate to use us a reference for you in the future."

Again, Spencer, thank you for all of your assistance.

"Spencer is a ROCK STAR real estate agent! My experience was truly amazing. We met, listed my house, and actually closed on the selling of that house within a span of 5 weeks. He also worked as a selling agent, taking the time to show me house after house until I found “the one”. I asked for tons of “long term and short term” advice on each home that I was interested in and he was so knowledgeable in what seems like every situation. He knew so much on all sides of the business and put his time and effort into making sure that I was not only financially secure, but emotionally as well. Not that I am looking forward to moving again; but when and if I ever need to reach out to the real estate world again, Spencer will definitely be my first call. Thanks again Spencer, for everything."

Re: Spencer "Pep" Geisen

After having a house on the market for two years my husband and I decided to stage the house and I interviewed three realtors whom I felt were all more than qualified. Spencer stood out as the person I felt could sell our house. We engaged in a contract with him and let him do what he does best hoping for a sale. With the housing market in the condition it is today we felt he was the best choice to sell the house if it were to sell at all.

Spencer sold the house in one week over our asking price. We thought we were done but Spencer's follow up and paying attention to details our closing went on time without a hitch. My quick lesson was, a professional realtor such as Spencer not only can sell your house but dot every I and cross every t for you with ease. I would refer Spencer to anyone, we feel that we had the most experienced and professional realtor in the business.

Thank You!
