"“We just wanted to say thank you so, so much for all your help and hard work in getting us into our new home. You’ll always be our #1 recommendation to any friends buying a place.”"
Rachael & Cameron M. Tue Oct 28, 2008

"“I want to express my deepest thanks for your help in finding my husband and myself a home, as well as helping us obtain a good mortgage. You continually conducted yourself very professionally, as well as personally. You were never unavailable to answer any questions I may have had. You are extremely knowledgeable in your field and I would recommend anyone I know to contact you for any needs others may want met. It was with no hesitation that I recommended my son and his fiancée to you. As a result, they are currently in a beautiful new first home. Thank you again for all your help. We will come to you again and again, whenever the need arises, as I personally trust no one else. It is hard to find people like yourself who care, and continue to stay in touch after the sale is over. Keep up the good work!”"

"“You did a spectacular job with our sale. Even as the buyer’s broker, we felt that you were the best broker WE HAD. I'm certain the sale wouldn't have closed with anyone else.”"

"“Jerome and I want to thank you for all your help with our refinance. We really appreciate the extra mile you went to get us just the right loan program. Thanks for all your help and know that we will refer you to all our friends. Wishing you the very best in the coming year”"
Crystal M. Tue Oct 28, 2008

"“I recently purchased my first home and I must say I was terrified at the prospect. Numerous people had told me different horror stories about mortgage companies charging hidden fees, not securing competitive rates, closing costs being too high, agents not concerned with the customers best interest, the process took to long, stress, stress, stress! I can honestly say I have no idea what those people were talking about. Because of Seth's complete understanding of the mortgage, real estate business, and customers needs he made the process almost too easy (for me at least). Combining the real estate and mortgage process together we were able to secure a GREAT rate and submit offers based on those rates with a single call. Not to mention that Seth and his crew made themselves and their offices available whenever necessary. When I decide to sell my home or purchase another one there is no question that I will be calling Seth, he was truly there for me. To Seth and the rest of the crew you guys are the best!”"
Kevin M. Tue Oct 28, 2008

"“I'm writing you this short letter because I want you to know how much I appreciate your unusual skills in crafting the perfect home mortgage loan for me. The knowledge and competence you displayed while helping me to clear up erroneous credit bureau items was nothing short of unbelievable. Never have I experienced a loan agent perform so diligently on my behalf. Your attention to detail and your constant and timely contact with me during the process was unparalleled in my 50 yrs of real estate loan experience.”"
Donald F. Tue Oct 28, 2008

"“Seth was very helpful to us with the refinance of our house. We went into it with very little experience and Seth had the patience and knowledge to explain any questions we had and made sure we fully understood the outcome of any decision we had to make. Also, any time we needed to call him he was there with the answer and if he didn't have the answer right away he got it in a very timely fashion. All of the effort he put into our refinance was very much appreciated and I would recommend Seth to anyone.”"
Jeff B. Tue Oct 28, 2008

"“I would like to thank you for your outstanding and attentive service in my recent refinance transaction. While I had contemplated refinancing several times over the past year, I thought my existing loan had the best rate I could get. I am very impressed with your analysis of my financial situation and the recommendation you came up with to help me maximize and bring flexibility to my cash flow as I start my new business. As a repeat customer, I am once again extremely satisfied and look forward to referring future satisfied customers to you. My Sincerest Thanks!”"
Sean O. Tue Oct 28, 2008

"“I want to sincerely thank you for your time, patience, and hard work in my search to find the perfect house. Picking out a first home is not a simple task and I just wanted to let you know how comforting and easy you made the entire process. I have had many friends tell me about their horrible experiences and the stress that it put upon them. I feel very lucky to have found such a confident and detailed agent, and I truly look forward to working with you again in the future. If you ever need to use me as a referral, always feel free to put my name out there.”"
Micheal S. Tue Oct 28, 2008

""My wife and I have purchased and sold three homes in San Diego County and have refinanced at least 5 times. In dealing with all the agents, escrow companies, and various entities of the mortgage process we have had only two of these processes done timely, efficiently, and with all funds being disbursed properly. Both of these times have been with Seth Chalnick. Thank you Seth and thanks to your team.""

My real estate broker told me REO listing agents are graded by the banks.

Asked Mon Nov 23 2009, 14:29 by Frustrated_b… - Foreclosure in San Diego - 5 answers

Seth Chalnick answered:

Banks use listing agents who have developed relationships with them. The agent's grade has very little to do with the list or contract price. The reason these agents are able to obtain multiple offers above list price, has more to do with the artificial short supply of listings available, and the stimulated demand due to buying credits and low interest rates, than anything else. There are some good ways to turn the tables on the banks to make efficient use of your time, rather than bang your head against the wall. Feel free to drop a line if I can be of any help. - Mon Nov 23 2009, 14:42
