Dear Kirk,

January 21, 2007

To Whom It May Concern: It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Kirk LaMar. We have been looking for our perfect retirement home for the past four months, and with the help of Kirk, we have recently purchased one. My husband and I are finicky buyers who don't appreciate pressure and condescending realtors. When we finally located the perfect home for us, Kirk did an incredible job keeping us informed about the seller's needs and desires, while keeping true to us and our needs. I never felt pressured into making a quick decision that we might regret later; Kirk maintained a fair timeline for all concerned. His demeanor is easy-going, confident and reassuring. Buyers and sellers can work with Kirk and know that his integrity will keep any deal honest and in your best interest. I would highly recommend having Kirk LaMar as an agent. He has the professional and personal qualities that ensure success in a deal.

Sincerely, Karen E. Hayes

Dear Kirk,

Suzanne and I wish to thank you and your staff for handling the sale of our home in such a professional and expeditious manner. Our personal timelines did not phase your ability to sell our house quickly and within the profit margin we needed to be. You are always here for us when ever we have questions and your down to earth / honest explanations made the transaction as painless as the sale of a home can be. In addition, your assistance on finding and negotiating the purchase of our next home thus far has again, been a real pleasure. As a home owner/buyer on many different occasions, I am more than happy to say that this has been the easiest and most professional in my experience. I would recommend you, your company and your staff to any prospective customer. Please feel free to have any new customer call me. I will tell them that they would be foolish not to employ your services.

Thanks again, Jack and Suzanne Soberer 3633 Rosewood Place, Sycamore Ranch, Fallbrook Ca Very Satisfied Customers

Kirk, I would like to thank you for the professional and personable service that you and your team provided in getting me into my new home. I was somewhat intimidated by the thought of venturing into real estate as a first time home buyer, but working with you put me at ease from the very start. You consistently demonstrated your knowledge of the real estate industry as well as your knowledge of the community in which I was looking. Although all decisions were ultimately mine to make, I found from day one that following your advice proved to be the best way to go to close the deal. You knew exactly when I should be firm in my position and when I should allow some leeway. Additionally, thanks to you and Nate (The Mortgage Guild) I was able to close escrow in a shorter than normal time frame. I will certainly keep you in mind for any future real estate ventures I should decide to take on. Thanks.

A very happy home owner, Vincent

Dear Kirk,

We wanted to drop you a note to thank you for your continued support throughout these past years – from finding a home for us -- to keeping us apprised of market changes. You’ve given us the kind of service we can rely on to make important real estate decisions. Both of us are grateful to you for pre-screening homes before you showed them to us. You didn’t waste our time. Every property you suggested fit our requirements. With your guidance, we found the right home quickly and without the usual frustrations. And we appreciate how you handled the details of our purchase. It left us to concentrate on the important business of moving our family. Best of all, your communication with us after we moved into our new home to offer help with market assessments and other real estate advice has been invaluable as we plan for our future needs. When we sell our home, there’s no question that you’ll get our listing. Your honest and thoughtful business approach, and your professional marketing strategies make your company the best in town. In today’s busy real estate climate, it’s refreshing to find an agent like you who care so much about customer satisfaction. You’re first class, Kirk! Thanks again for everything you do for us. . .

Kind Regards, Cyndi and Charlie Fischer

Hi, my name is Chris and let me tell you something, Kirk is amazing. I was new to the process of buying and selling homes and thought it would be really difficult to grasp. Kirk knew the ins and outs of everything and made the whole process simple to understand. When I first put my house on the market I was a little skeptacle on the price he suggested I sell it for because I felt it was a little high. He ended up selling it for 5,000 over what we were asking for and found me a gorgeous home in Winchester with 0.00 down. I was comfortable with him and liked the fact that he was honest. He had tones of suggestions that helped me along the way when ever I needed more assistance he was there to make his calls or 'work his magic'. If you are searching around for an upfront, trustworthy, hard working, and friendly realtor........Kirk is your man. Thanks!

Five years ago my husband and I were looking to buy our first home. When we were fortunate enough to find Kirk LaMar as our Real Estate Agent. We loved the first home that he showed us. We purchased that home and enjoyed living in it for a little over four years. The process of that purchase was surprisingly easy thanks to Kirk. So when we decided due to family growth to get a bigger home, we of course called Kirk to help with the sale of our home and the purchase of a new one. I was nine months pregnant when we put our home on the market and started looking for a new one. Kirk was able to once again find exactly what we were looking for on the first home, and handled all of the many details on the sale and purchase of our home. Thanks to Kirk in November of 2003 it took Eight days to sell our home for a little more than we asked for and purchase a new one. The day that I went into the hospital to have my baby, we closed escrow on both of our homes. And I can honestly say that I was not worried at all because I new that Kirk would handle all that needed to be done. One month after we closed escrow we moved out of our home and into our new home without any problems. Kirk is truly there for you and your best interest. He makes you feel like you are his only client. He goes above and beyond to make sure that you are extremely happy and get exactly what you want. I will continue to have Kirk LaMar as my Real Estate Agent and I would recommend that if you are looking for the Best person to represent you in the selling or purchasing of your home that you call Kirk. You will be pleasantly surprised.

My name is Marco Flores. I just purchased my dream home in Fallbrook thru Kirk LaMar. I logged on to FallbrookHomes.net on the morning of August 31, 2003 and I got a call back that same morning from Kirk. He told me that he was currently out of town on a boating trip but that he had his computer with him so he could email me some pool homes in my price range. By the following Monday, we had been in constant contact and he found me the perfect house at an unbelievable deal. Within 3 weeks, we found the house, made the offer, signed documents and closed the deal. Never did I feel that he even had any other clients but me. I know he's never been busier but I still felt like he devoted all his attention to me. At first glance, some would not even think I could afford a nice house because I dress down but Kirk treated me as if I wore a 3 piece suit instead of shorts and a T-shirt. I truly felt that Kirk had my back every step of the way and I've already recommended him and his staff to my friends in Orange County.

Thank you Kirk!

Kirk LaMar and team changed our relocation from Boise, Idaho to Southern California from a chaotic, stress-filled situation to a streamlined process that quickly reduced our stress, provided us confidence that he knew what we were looking for in a home. Our perceptions were accurate as we purchased the third home that Kirk showed us; a wonderful home overlooking the scenic Fallbrook area!

Cheers, Gary

Kirk

July 23, 2003. We had heard countless stories from friends and family about terrible home buying experiences so as first time buyers and moving to a new area we needed someone we could trust and put 100% confidence in. Kirk was just that. We are so thankful to have found him! He walked us through the entire process and made our first homebuying experience actually enjoyable. Our home had multiple offers and his reputation closed our deal. We will definitely be using him for our next house and you should too!" Thanks again for all your work and patience. We are so happy to be here and the girls are thrilled with their yard etc.. we have taken a big step for our family and you made it happen on many different levels. You were so great to work with and treated us so kind even though we weren't a big sale. I cannot express our gratitude. Keep in touch.

Michelle

"Kirk LaMar provided me with excellent service during my purchase of a new home and move into the Fallbrook area. Like so often happens my purchase was complicated by problems with my existing home sale and Kirk helped me work through the difficulties and probably most importantly he stuck with it while providing a calming influence when things were not going smoothly. Its easy to get help when all is smooth but the test is when things go wrong and Kirk passed that test."

Dear Kirk:

Brenda and I would like to thank you for all your support and assistance in finding us our dream home in Fallbrook. Your extensive knowledge of the area and market proved invaluable in making our final decision. You were always more than ready to do whatever had to be done in order to ensure that we got the house that we wanted, regardless of the day of the week or the time of day/night. Thank you for going the extra mile to also ensure that we received that best financing available which allowed us to go into the bidding process pre-approved. Never in a million years would I have believed that buying a home could have been so enjoyable and stress free. Thanks a million Kirk, we will forever be in your debt, and you are always welcomed to stop by and enjoy the pool & spa.

Forever grateful, Phillip & Brenda Hairston

Hi Kirk,

Dave and I wanted to thank you for finding us our beautiful dream house in Fallbrook. After searching over a month on our own, I still can’t believe that you found us this house in one day. Wow! Your knowledge of the area, your ability to listen, and your fast response time makes you a great and rare agent to find in this busy market. We consider ourselves lucky to have pulled up your website FallbrookHomes.net, because we would have never met you if we didn’t. I just wish we could have had you sell our home in San Diego!

Sincerely, Julie Fordney

Hi Kirk,

Thank you so much for your help on getting this house. I'm sure you have heard it before, but this is a monumental step in our lives. Since Olga and I met over 13 years ago in High School, we have dreamed of this day. And with the baby coming a few months after we move in, we know that we are ready for this next stage of our lives.

Once again Kirk, YOU DA MAN...!!!! Matt Sayers

Kirk,

We wanted to express our sincerest gratitude and appreciation for your dedication, professionalism and advice throughout the entire process of selling our home. Selling our home was a very smooth transition and your constant follow-up and knowledge made the entire transition very pleasant. You are a true professional with high ethical value which will make any customer feel they are dealing with an absolute expert. Unfortunately, many people don't have the great experiences they should have when buying or selling a home because they don't find they right professional. Fortunately we did.

Thanks for all your efforts. Nelson and Elvia Quintana

I have had the fortune to know Kirk before it came time to purchase a home. I had explained to him exactly what we were looking for in a new home, he took us to the first listing that met our criteria and I couldn't believe how perfect it was, the entire process was flawless. His dedication to his profession is amazing, he was able to guide us through the purchase and was available to answer every question or concern we had. We are forever grateful for his help in buying our home, and look forward to many years of friendship.

Thank you Kirk Jamie & Ilonka Chaussee

Kirk,

Just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help with my move. You made a stressful experience much more manageable for me! I appreciate your always being available to allow me access to the home prior to closing and always returning my phone calls so promptly. It is not often that one finds a realtor that knows exactly what the buyer wants but you knew right away the type of home and lot that I wanted and found it for me. Your assistance in helping me find a good lender is also much appreciated! I love the home and am not missing my commute at all!

Thanks again for all your help. Debbie

Hi Kirk,

Thank you for your amazing response, I just wish that we would have hooked up with you sooner. I am just jumping out of my skin with excitement about the houses. I appreciate the additional info that you gave me about the area and the schools too. I have instructed Jim to find me a house today, heee hee!! He will call me from the sites and we can go from there.

Thanks again Colleen McCole-Gastineau

My name is Rick.

I recently ran into Kirk driving by one of his listings...I was already involved in a home purchase, but had to look around due to some issue we had. Kirk went out of his way to give us information necessary to close our current deal, and offered us a few backup plans in the event something went wrong. I really admired this about Kirk, Even though he was putting himself out of a deal, his first regard was for us as a family. We closed the deal on our current home, and we did so with Educated Buying power from what Kirk told us about the Industry, our Area we were getting into, and even the rate of the schools. We know that as the years go by, if Kirk is still doing business in the Temecula Area, he will be our Relator.

We went through almost 12 realtors and companies before we settled where we are now, however I know where I will go next the First Time. Buying a home should not be a painful process. I have spoken to a few others that Kirk has represented and they felt the same way. I can shake your hand and recommend Kirk of Temeculahomes.com. It was like a Breath of Fresh Air. Remember, your transaction is not about your escrow, it is only as good as your Realtor. Buying Or Selling, or Selling to Buy, it is the most important decision you can make...

Rick // http://www.gotlegal.biz

Yes, I did receive your email. Thank you for your professionalism and for the time you take to meet my interests and needs. I wanted to let you know this back then, I just didn't have the time to get back with you. By talking to you it seems and I think you stand for a great professional that not only thinks about the profit he will make, but that carries himself in a manner that is well liked by many.

Talk to you soon..... Jannie

I have just celebrated my 65th birthday and over my life span have had many occasions to deal with brokers for both residential and investment property. I never met anyone who delivered what they promised the way you do. The level of commitment, professionalism, integrity and service is unmatched. You see to it through advertising, open houses, etc that the property has the most exposure possible, making a normally difficult time as painless as possible.

Thank you, Darlene Thoroughgood

"I have known Kirk LaMar for 20 years. He worked with me when I was president of the Gary Player Golf Company, he is a consummate professional. He and his outstanding support staff are on top of every transactional detail. He is a creative marketer, knows the market inside out, is extraordinarily respected in the real estate community and takes his business very seriously. In my 22 years in business I have probably met 10,000 sales professionals, but I have never met a better one than Kirk LaMar."

John Pike

Your professional services made the buying process uncomplicated and we felt your experience was invaluable. You were attentive to our needs and were available for many important appointments at the property. We felt we were given the same time and attention purchasing a $200,000 home as a person purchasing a million-dollar home. You ensured that our best interests were always met. Thank you for your help. We will recommend your expert services.

Steve and Betty Halloran

"With 15 years of experience in sales & marketing, it is no wonder he is known as the "professional" Realtor. He not only does the right things for his clients but is committed to always doing them the right way. His dedication to his family and the community is legendary. His service to his clients is impeccable. It is a great pleasure watching Kirk help his clients on a daily basis. His enthusiasm is contagious."

Royal H. Peterson

Dear Kirk, It is with deep appreciation that I thank you for the many years of outstanding service you have provided to me and my family. Your professionalism, integrity, and most importantly, your trust, have played an integral part in all the assistance you have provided us. In a world of ever-increasing complexity, your ability to handle the most complicated issues is baffling. Adversity is not in your vocabulary. Unlike many busy entrepreneurs, you have always found time and resources to give to those less fortunate. Temecula is a very special city, basking in worldwide recognition. Community leaders like you contribute to this acknowledgement. Kirk, I will never forget all your advice, business and personal, directed to accomplishing the task at hand. Work hard, follow through with all your commitments, and good results surely will prevail. Your philosophy is synonymous with perfection. Thank you again.

Sincerely, Dave Helmling

My sisters and I appreciate the level of service Mr. LaMar provided. We were able to sell our property at the asking price and much sooner than we anticipated. Kirk was always availble for meetings and follow up. His expertise and attention to detail guided us through the sale in a smooth and timely manner. Mr. LaMar is definitely a man you can count on.

Lori Snyder

Kirk LaMar is without a shadow of doubt the finest real estate professional in the country. Now that says a lot, but this assessment comes from comparing Kirk's work with all of the professionals in real estate I have come in contact with in over 36 years of business. I have used Kirk in the most difficult transactions; I have referred Kirk to all my friends and acquaintance; I have never heard a word of criticism and have always been impressed with his perfect implementation and resulting success.

Carl Hillmen

My husband and I were just married when we met Kirk LaMar. We were lucky that Mr. LaMar became our realtor as my husband and I tried to find the perfect house to make our new home. I had moved from another city down South after living there for almost 10 years. While it was hard to leave my friends and home, I was very excited to begin a new life here in Temecula. I wanted everything to be perfect. I must say with Mr. LaMar's help, finding and closing on our dream home was the easy part. My husband and I saw the home where we wanted to begin our marriage. Mr. LaMar helped us to get the house and negotiate the right price. My husband and I now have a beautiful son whom we grow to love more and more each day. It is wonderful to begin creating memories in a home we love. We are so thankful for Mr. LaMar's help because his assistance made the transaction worry free. We felt that everything was handled professionally and with thought toward what my husband and I were trying to achieve for our new home. If we ever decide to make another move, Mr. LaMar will be the professional we choose.
