Thank you very much Shirley! You have been wonderful to work with and we sincerely appreciate everything that you have done for us with the sale of this condo. We will be sure to spread the word to anyone we know who is looking for a home in State College! 

Thanks again, Rosann and Patrick

Hi Shirley!

Thank you sooo very much for all of your help with buying the home and then with selling the home.  It has been a crazy month but it did close! Thank you for all of your help with everything especially the gas fiasco! We really appreciate all of your hard work. I wish I could bring you here to broker our new deal:)! You can be sure that we will ALWAYS recommend you!

Thanks again,

Sincerely,

West and Shanda

Working with Shirley on the sale of our house was a joy. She proved to be a true professional in all phases of the process. She possesses an outstanding base of knowledge regarding the real estate market, and was very clear in explaining the various steps in the sales process. She was also very open to our views, and did not hesitate to go the extra step in addressing our concerns.  Shirley was also very prompt in giving us feedback regarding all of the showings and provided sharp analysis regarding those showings. Even though we are novices, having previously sold only one house many years ago, Shirley helped make this experience go very smoothly.

We thank Shirley very much and wholeheartedly recommended her to anyone planning to sell their house.

Shirley Hsi, is the best realtor I have dealt with.  She is always prepared and very personable.

There were times when I thought Shirley read my mind.  She picked out houses for us to look at before I even saw them on the internet.  She always fit us in within a day or two to look at properties.  Most of the time it was that day or the next day after I contacted her about viewing a property.  Shirley was always very honest about her take on the property you were looking at.  She is not afraid to point out flaws, which is great for 1^st time home buyers.

Selling our house with Shirley was so easy.  She sold our house in 3 weeks.  I was impressed with the packet she puts together for sellers.  It was full of great information.  She does her research on your property before she meets with you and it is worth the day or two wait. 

I can not say enough good things about Shirley Hsi.  She is Fabulous!!!!

                                                                                                Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:

Byron and I highly recommend Shirley His as an extremely efficient Realtor. 

My husband and I had lived in our home for almost 30 years and had completely forgotten how we had sold our first home.  Shirley was recommended to us and we approached her in late 2005, asking her to handle the sale of our home.  She maintained contact with us and we signed the listing contract with her on April 8, 2006.  She was faced with the pressure of our wish to move and relocate by mid-June.  Thanks to her knowledge and her efficiency, by May 14, 2006 we had a signed contract with a closing date of June 26, 2006.  What could be better than that?  

Shirley is very organized and she shared her plan of action with us from the start: what were her responsibilities and what were ours, such as what to do to improve the look and the value of our home.  

Her knowledge of the housing market trend as a whole and of the special local circumstances helped us narrow down an appropriate sale price for our property.  

She assumed complete responsibility for all the paperwork – as would be expected – and kept us informed step-by-step.  This was of considerable value considering the complexity of the process.  

She controls a strong network of contacts with other agencies and was able to set up frequent showings of our home to interested parties – though not to the point of exhaustion.  

In addition to professionalism Shirley shows a marvelous balance of efficiency, directness, understanding of people and true personal warmth.  Byron and I have thoroughly enjoyed knowing her.  

We have been completely satisfied with her effectiveness in dealing with a challenging market and in meeting the needs of our particular situation.  We recommend her wholeheartedly.

“To Whom It May Concern:  

It is our pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Shirley Hsi, Realtor at RE/MAX Centre Realty.  

As a returning customer, we were again extremely pleased with the service that Shirley provided.  She did a superb job from start to finish.  Shirley provides a comprehensive package that will maximize the selling price of your home and minimize your time on the market.  In our case, our home sold within two weeks and we received $11,000 over our asking price.  

Shirley’s experience and knowledge were invaluable.  Her recommendations concerning fix-up, sale timing, show preparation, and list price were right on the mark.  She made sure that we took care of the things buyers really care about.  In the end, the buyer was extremely satisfied with the home they purchased which made for a very smooth transaction.  

We couldn’t be happier with the results and we are sure that you will be very happy with Shirley’s service as well.

                                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                Bill and Janet H

“Over the years I have worked with Shirley Hsi buying and selling 3 houses.  Obviously I am very happy with the results, especially since my last house sold and closed in just a few weeks! Shirley has handled all of the details for listing, showing and closing the deals, leaving me worry free.  

She is a wealth of knowledge, able to suggest the best yet affordable and reliable people and places for just about everything you could need from chimney and household repairs to great restaurants.  Let Shirley Hsi help you get the results you expect and deserve….I’m glad I did.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing in recommendation of Shirley Hsi, who was my realtor in the recent sale of my house on in State College .  This is the fourth house I have sold over the years, and Shirley was the 8^th realtor I have worked with.  She is by far been the best realtor I have worked with.  At every step of the way, I felt Shirley was “on top of things.”  She demonstrated a deep understanding of the local real estate market and helped to price my house appropriately for the market which was higher than I had anticipated.  

When I was tempted to take a lower offer, she remained confident that a better offer would come, which it indeed did, getting me the best price for my house.  When I had purchased this house several years ago using a different state college realtor, that realtor was hard to reach and seemed only half interested when I spoke to her on the phone.  But Shirley was quite the opposite.  She was at all times easy to reach and returned messages promptly.  In dealing with her, I felt she always gave me her full attention and went out of her way to keep me informed every step through the process.  I am happy to give her my highest recommendation.

                                                                                                - Dr. Warren W

“Wow, Shirley, I am soooo impressed!  You are as aggressive as you sound on the phone.  Thanks for pushing the selling price as high as you did.  I know we have paper work to do but I shall definitely work with you on this and hopefully we should be able to close on schedule without too much hassle.  

Years ago I used to do mortgages for Fleet Bank.  I did not like realtors (in general) because they can be so aggressive, they caused us lenders too much stress.  Little did I realize that if I were on the other side of the court, I would DEFINITELY PREFER an aggressive realtor!!! Thanks and again I would like to say I am very impressed.  And you can quote me verbatim.  I simply said the TRUTH.

                                                                                                - Dr. Nora M

“Shirley was a professional from the start.  Prior to listing with her, she provided us with a comprehensive market analysis as well as an in depth marketing plan.  She not only took the time to answer all of our questions in an open and honest manner but also made sure that we knew what to expect from her.  We were most impressed with her work ethic, detailed knowledge of the market and her efforts to communicate feedback after every showing.  As a result of her efforts, we had 3 offers and our house was under contract within a month of listing with her.”

                                                                                                - Brian & Sue

“Shirley made believers out of two initially skeptical clients. A few months ago we thought seriously about trying to sell our house ourselves in order to save what we perceived were those outrageous realtor’s commission. Today we consider Shirley’s fee the wisest money we’ve ever spent. She’s an outstanding example of a professional Realtor.”

                                                                                                - Drs. Bob & Joann L

“Shirley explored all available avenues with her creative marketing of my property. She advised me as to possible ways to make the house more sellable.  Between the difference in time zone and my work schedule, Shirley successfully handled all the details for me when I could not be there”

                                                                                                - Dr. Cindy M

 “My house sold quickly.  Shirley provided the type of care as though she were selling her own house. It was like having your own daughter as your agent”

                                                                                                 – John and Mary D

“Shirley was the listing agent when we bought our home several years ago, that experience influenced us to do business with her when it’s our time to sell.  Shirley was great to work with. We received full price within one week of listing.  She took care of everything for us and we knew we had nothing to worry about”

                                                                                                – Brian & Suzanne

“We have found that in the 10 years we have been in State College customer service more often than not is only used in marketing and seldom followed through on.  So when we find someone who follows through with his or her pledge of customer service, it really makes a positive impression.  We realized that, especially in the State College real estate market, it is easier to simply let the strong local economy and low interest rates sell homes with little effort from the realtor, Shirley Hsi doesn’t operate that way and we have a lot of respect for Shirley because she doesn’t take the path so many other realtors have.  Shirley not only promise customer service but delivered.”

                                                                                                -Brian & Sue

“Shirley quickly put some very nice pictures plus a good write up in the real estate buyer’s guide, quickly informed me of the 1^st bid and discussed in detail and took into consideration my thoughts and wishes as well as using her knowledge and experience in the negotiation of the offer.  Shirley was very efficient and quickly follows through in all details.  I called her at her home on several occasions and she was gracious and took care of my concerns quickly."

                                                                                                - Kathryn

“I have used Shirley’s services for three different real-estate transactions – two as a buyer’s agent and one as a selling agent.  In each case, she made me feel as if I were her ONLY client and that her sole job was to assist ME in my buying or selling needs.  What makes Shirley so wonderful is that she is somehow able to do this with all of her clients simultaneously.”  

                                                                                                - Dr. David S

“Our initial phone call to Shirley was the beginning of the best working relationship we have ever experienced with a real estate brokerage.  We were impressed with her professionalism and understanding of the market, Shirley’s attention to detail (including her careful market analysis and explanation of the ramifications of various asking price), her consistent efforts to keep us informed at all times, and her no-nonsense approach to getting the job done.  As a result, our house was shown only to qualified interested buyers, with minimum disruption for us and maximum yield in good offers.  We listed the house just before Thanksgiving and shortly thereafter we have two excellent offers in hand.  As truly satisfied clients, we want to say thanks”
