Testimonials
Diane, Thank you for your even keel, "no drama" attitude. You came through with quick action when it really counted. It's obvious why you are the top seller in Indian Ridge. Thanks again.
Steve and Diana Goldman
Diane, I cannot believe this segment of our journey became final today...but you made it the best it could be and we cannot tell you how much you and your team are appreciated but especially YOU! Your knowledge and expertise got us thru all the hurdles, and you were so generous with your suggestions and advice and personal caring...we always knew you would be our choice of Realtors when the time came and we have not regretted that decision at all. Thank you again for all you did for us.
Searching out and purchasing a house without my husband could have been overwhelming but for the professionalism of Diane and her happy associates Wendi and Lisa. Diane or Wendy and I were in touch by email for almost a year before that "right house" came along. Upon making our offer and beginning the paper work, efficient Lisa took over and helped me through the reams of paper. As this was a "long distance" transaction I was very relieved that I had built up a trust relationship with The Terrific Trio and that proved out even to arranging and meeting several tradespeople to ready the house prior to possession. We are now enjoying our desert home and would definitely recommend Diane Williams AND ASSOCIATES to anyone looking for a professional, caring group.
Thank you so much for all your hard work in getting our house sold. We appreciate everything you did for us and hopefully we will be working with you again. Meanwhile, we will recommend you to any of our friends who might be in need of a Realtor. Please tell Lisa and the rest of yoru staff they were a pleaseure to work with.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the friend who recommended Wendi Clifford when we started to look for a winter home in the Palm Springs area. Wendi searched the long list of homes for sale and accurately compiled a list of those most likely to be of interest to us. She patiently accompanied us as we visited and in some cases revisited the ones of most interest. Wendi helped prepare our offer for the home of choice and helped us close, but it was during the final title transfer process that her services were exceptional. Even after the transfer when she had no legal obligation to continue to help us she nevertheless continued to do so. We have recommended Wendi to friends, not as favor to Wendi, but to the friends who need a real estate agent they can rely on.
Belinda and I would like to thank you so much for the extraordinary assistance you provided to us during our search for a new home, For approximately five months you were there with not only the basic services you would expect in a Realtor, but went above and beyond in the amount of time you spent to make sure we got to know the area and everything that was available. The information, suggestions and recommendations were very insightful and helped tremendously not only in our decision to purchase our new house, but also in obtaining the services needed to make it our home.
We made many trips to look at a lot of houses and always looked forward to seeing you. We have told a couple of people about your outstanding service and will continue to do so.
We send our best wishes.
As Canadians we were a little leery of buying property in the USA. We had rented for the past four years and found the process very simple. One lucky day I ventured into an open house with no real idea of buying and met Wendi. We spoke for about ten minutes and she made a very powerful impression on me without being pushy as many Realtor's are. I made a not to myself that if we did buy in the desert, it would be with Wendi as our salesperson. To make a long story short, we decided to buy and Wendi was absolutely wonderful in the process of searching for the perfect house that we were looking for, despite the reality that we had no idea what the house was! Wendi worked diligently bringing us various plans, locations and different pricing over the period of a few months before we found our home.
Unfortunately for some people, because of the poor economy, this home happened to be a short sale. That put a little fear in us to deal with as Canadians. This is when Wendi's experience and value really kicked in for us.She basically got all the work completed for us about dealing with the American banking, California laws and all of the other paperwork that was required to complete the deal for the house. Before we knew it, we had a house and our minds were at peace while dealing with Wendi and Diane Williams & Associates. Long after the purchase, Wendi kept in touch to see how things were going and we get whatever information we need from Diane Williams & Associates.
We would highly recommend Wendi to anyone we know, as a matter of fact to anyone that we didn't know! She is a wonderful professional and a very honest and easy person to talk with.
We had the great fortune to be referred to Wendi when we decided that we would explore the idea of buying real estate in California. She was extremely diligent, very energetic and thoroughly engaged in helping us in our search to find the right property. We could always rely on her to follow up in providing any information that she did not have on hand. We were very thorough in our search and Wendi was always enthusiastic during that process. We would recommend her without hesitation.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you both for the experience we had not only in purchasing our home in Montecito but for all your help after the sale to ensure that everything was in place to make our move go smoothly.
Sandy and I have moved numerous times, purchasing homes in different locations and dealing with many realtors over the years. With all these moves we have never had such a delightful experience as we had with Diane Williams and Associates and particularly with Wendi Clifford, an Associate, whose diligence and efforts were exceptional. As we live in Canada part of the year and were only in Palm Desert for a few short days after the closing, Wendi's continued support went far beyond our expectations.
Diane Williams & Associates are a team of professionals and based on our many experiences we can only express our gratitude, you truly are the "Best of the Best."
It was a pleasure working with Diane. A true professional who continues to exceed my expectations.
I have been a successful Real Estate Broker for many years and can easily say there are few agents who can match Diane in her ability as a Real Estate Broker. I continue to recommend her to my clients and friends and would not hesitate to have her represent me in my desert real estate transactions.
You have all been so supportive through the frenzy of buying a house. Lisa, thank you for answering all our questions and re-sending many e-mails. Thank you Wendi for making many trips to our new home, waiting patiently while we discussed and took measurements and for making lists and answering all our trivia questions. Diane, your expertise made this happen. Thank you for steering us through the process. You and your team's professionalism is noted and much appreciated. Diane, be assured, we will recommend you and Windermere to anyone looking for real estate in the desert. We really appreciate everything each of you has done to make this a smooth transition.
Buying our home in Palm Desert was a pleasant experience with Frank Montiforte. Frank is knowledgeable of the area, easy to communicate with, understanding of our wants and needs and was always available to help guide us through the process. We are very happy we found Frank Montiforte.
When we asked Frank Montiforte to sell our house, it never occured to us that in this depressed housing market he would complete a sale within two weeks. In fact, the whole process was a delightful experience.
Frank is easy to work with and goes long and far beyond the call of duty to cover his clients' needs and desires. First, he priced the house perfectly for sale. Then, he made a few minor suggestions that instantly spruced up the decor and the feeling of the house when one entered. Whatever he did, the result was magic! Our house sold the first weekend it was on the market. We think it was all about Frank!
I just want thank you for everything. You have gone beyond what I expected. Completely exceeded my expectations on what a real estate agent can do for you. And I'm absolutely positive that there aren't many people in your profession that put as much care, thought and time into helping their clients ... as you have for us. Plus, I'm sure there is much that you have done beyond the scenes (things we haven't noticed), to make this process even easier and beneficial for us.
If you remember my first email to you back in August (6 months ago?): "My wife and I are flying down to the desert from Vancouver on Friday morning (and staying at the Resort until Sunday) to look at property ... so I'm looking for someone that could help us. There are so many real estate offices with multiple agents -- I just don't like having to pick an agent based on their photo. Or having to walk into an office and getting the next agent available. So I wanted to contact you since you look as if you offer a more personalized office."
I have to say, you were exactly what I was looking for! From the bottom of my heart - thank you for everything you have done ... and continue to do.
