This spring I was faced with moving my family to Prince George.  Our first step was to find a new house and some friends suggested Uta Marshall at Team Powerhouse Realty.  She was very helpful right from the very first phonecall.  She immediately sent us some information about the community and the neighbourhoods.  She then worked with us to determine exactly what we were looking for.  On our first house hunting trip, Uta was well prepared and she showed us a beautiful group of homes that would meet our needs.   Once we were ready to make an offer, Uta provided very professional services and great advice.  We ended up with a great home, in a great neighbourhood at a great price!  All in all...we were very satisfied with Uta and Team Powerhouse.

To Whom It May Concern:

This is in appreciation of Uta Marshall’s assistance during the purchase of our first home. We would like to thank Uta for her availability during that busy time, as well as her patience and hard work in walking us through the process as new homebuyers. Despite how hectic all of our schedules were at the time, she remained relaxed, courteous, responsible and efficient.

The staff at Powerhouse was friendly and easy to talk to, which made the overall process that much simpler, and we thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Rachelle and Renee

Thanks very much for your work in selling our home.

When Carl and I drove in to Prince George we had a real estate magazine in our hands and just happened to call Uta about a listing she was advertising. We had her paged and she called back promptly. Her listing was not what we were looking for but from our first conversation her professionalism and forthright honesty were evident. As luck would have it, her schedule allowed her to show us around the next day. We gave her the criteria we were looking for and she promptly went to work for us. During the next three days Uta took us to numerous properties most of which fit our criteria. When it came time to narrow it down she patiently took us for return visits to those we were most interested in, and before leaving town we had an offer in place. It was after this offer was accepted and we were back at home in Calgary, that Uta most impressed us. I'll briefly explain why.

Carl and I own a number of investment properties and are well aware that any realtor will be more than happy to show you property after property if their schedule permits and complete their responsibilities should an offer by made and accepted. In this regard Uta can be counted on to be prompt, thorough, and trustworthy. It was Uta's extra effort to help us ensure that the transaction completed smoothly, however, that made her stand out to us - not just as a good realtor, but as a special person who really cares about people. Uta was instrumental in many ways that went far beyond her professional responsibilities in assisting us during the entire process of hiring a property manager, and getting the place renovated and rented out. She assisted us in more ways than we can thank her for, and over the course of our many conversations, in person, over the telephone and by email, we came to admire her work ethic, integrity, and conscientiousness.

Helene and I were most pleased with your method and success of the selling of our Condo Unit.

The format and contents of your Evaluation that you produced for us has become the model we now use for evaluating my entire portfolio across Canada.  We call it the Uta Evaluation and have added "Uta" to our spell-checker as a valid and respected word.

Although I understand that the purpose of the Evaluation was to determine a FAIR value for our unit, we were pleased that, after all negotiations, it became the ACTUAL selling price for our unit.  Your ethic of keeping it confidential served us well.

You understood that it is a long wait for the seller.  You called every few days with status even if there was nothing to report.  You handled us with caring consideration.  Helene appreciated it and was reassured throughout.

Being from out of town, we relied on your comments about the pulse of the marketplace in making our decisions.  You made us feel comfortable while remaining an impartial advisor.

We appreciated your handling of the faxed paperwork by circling where we had to sign making it a "selling for dummies" pleasure.  Your advise for a local lawyer proved satisfactory also.

Uta Marshall provided outstanding service to us throughout the entire process of purchasing a home in Prince George.

Her friendly, relaxed manner made us feel very comfortable and her keen attention to detail instilled confidence and was very much appreciated.

Above all, Uta was flexible and made herself available to us on our schedule.

This note is of appreciation for the thorough job you did helping my husband and I purchase an acreage property.

Knowing little of this whole process, you walked me through, called me with reminders, walked me through again, and then called me again to ensure all deadlines were reached by lawyers, bankers, and all other parties that needed involvement.

Thank you for your dedication in finding us the perfect house.  Your professionalism and concern for our needs was outstanding.
