Dear Dan,
Darron and I would like to express our appreciation for the
incredible effort you put forth on our behalf in helping us
obtain our new home. We had little time to look and find a
place for our relocation. In the one week we had to look,
you devoted your time to our search. When we finally decided
to go new with builders, you were with us from beginning to
close (not to mention the considerate follow up afterwards).
Your expertise in dealing with builders made the road to closing
less painful. Darron kindly referred to you as a "bulldog",
when it came to our walkthroughs and making sure everything
was just right.
We are especially grateful for the time you stayed behind,
late, to talk to the builder's punchman about issues that
came up from the independent inspection (recommended by you).
Knowing that these types of inspections are not required for
new homes, those issues would have gone unnoticed by us had
we not paid to have one conducted. Of course, with these issues
arising after the final walkthrough, you were able to get
them amended on paper to ensure they were taken care of before
closing.
Third times a charm: In the process of waiting for the punch
items to be completed the day before closing, I remember discovering
the small chip smack dab in the middle of our mirror to the
grand master bath. You were able to talk the builders into
replacing it for us, even though it wasn't an item identified
previously with our final walkthrough.
We are glad for your advice throughout the whole process.
This was our first time dealing with builders. Our first home
was a fixer-upper and we did not want to go that route, again.
If it wasn't for your knowledge and persistence in dealing
with them, we most likely would have signed before all issues
were taken care of with the home, having to deal with more
headaches and warranty issues later. Instead, you gave me
the foresight to put off closing, until all items were signed
off on.
We definitely would refer your services to anyone seeking
to buy a home within the Salt Lake area. You are a realtor
who cares more about the people you are serving than pushing
homes. We respect that quality in you, among the others we
mentioned, and are happy to call you our friend. We are very
pleased we were referred to you.
Thanks You Again,
Michelle Williams
To Whom It May Concern,
This is just a letter to inform you of the positive experience
we had buying property with Dan Walker. We had been looking
to purchase recreational property for some time. Through access
of the internet, we were able to get in contact with him.
He made every effort to make sure we were happy. At all times,
we knew what was going on with the whole buying process. He
has great follow through.
If you are thinking about selling or purchasing real estate,
please don't hesitate to give him a call.
Karl and Anne Walker
My good friend Dan,
Thank you so much for all the help you gave Alicia and me
in the winter of 2005. I am writing to you to formally give
my recommendation of your services to anyone who is considering
hiring you for their realty needs.
To all current and future customers of Dan, my name is Andrew
Decker. I am a Sergeant in the Utah Army National Guard. I
served in Afghanistan from March of 2004 through April of
2005. I hope that my experiences show how deeply committed
Dan is to meeting his clients needs and finding them the house
of their dreams.
In November of 2004, my wife and I decided we wanted a house
of our own. We knew my leave was coming in the beginning of
January and we decided we would LOVE to be able to move while
I was home so that she didn't have to do it all on her own
and we could also enlist the help of my family who came to
visit us while I was home (sneaky, huh?). We started looking
online at properties that were available and discussed what
was essential for us in what we were looking for. We found
what we were looking for in a house represented by Dan Walker.
We looked into the property with Dan, and before he would
represent both us and the seller he let us know of the conflict
of interest and that both the seller and we would have to
agree that we were fine with him representing us both. We
decided not to go for that house after all but because Dan
had been so open with us and so welcoming, we decided to keep
him as our agent.
Keep in mind that all of this is while I'm 7000 miles away
in a country that is more or less in the 16th century when
it comes to technology. Thankfully, the base I was at, all
of the soldiers had chipped in to get a contractor to install
internet and get computers to access it.
Dan was so helpful in always being available to talk with
me whenever I had a question and when I was feeling uneasy.
I never felt like I was being left out of anything that Dan
and my wife were doing back home in Salt Lake. Dan always
asked if everything was alright with me.
Hooray, Dan and Alicia found a house and I loved it as much
as my wife! We started negotiations but unfortunately the
sellers removed it from the market because one of them might
be losing their job. I was so discouraged. It was now December
and I was coming home in a month. I felt like their was no
way we would be able to find and close on another house by
the time my leave was up. But Dan kept a level head and a
cool hand. He kept at it and we persevered.
We found another perfect home not far from the first one
and not much more expensive. In fact, I like this home even
better than the first one. I truly believe everything happens
for a reason. And because of Dan, Alicia and I were able to
move into our very first house on January 16, 2005. I was
able to spend a whole week in our home before I left to go
back to Afghanistan and we found out the the next month that
during the first week in our new home, we had conceived a
baby girl. Because of Dan we are starting our new family in
our new house and have many great memories. Dan, thank you
for all your hard work and dedication to us. I can't wait
to go to your next gig and hear you play.
Sincerely,
Andrew S. Decker

Thanks so much Dan for your help in purchasing my Condo. You have gone out
of your way as a Realtor and I was very pleased. You did so much more than
any realtor that I have ever dealt with.
I feel that you had my interest in mind with every step of the process of
viewing possible purchases, in the process of getting financing secured,
in the process of selecting carpet, colors and fixtures and constantly in
contact with me for anything that came up in closing. You are the #1 Realtor
in my book. I would recommend you to anyone for being their realtor. Thanks,
Lana
Dan,
Thank you so much for helping us in the hunt to find our first
home. You were such a great resource to us. We truly were thankful
for your flexible schedule. With both of us working and going
to school that really helped us out. We also apreciated the
time you gave us. We were scared to work with a REALTOR® because
we heard from friends how pushy they were. We did not feel that
from you.
Once again thank you for your kindness and help.
Thank you,
Brandon & Ashley Hardison
Dear Dan,
Emma and I just wanted to thank you for helping us purchase
our first home. Buying a home for the first time may be a
little scary, but you made it so easy for us. We really appreciate
you working around our schedule, thank you for all those times
you came over late at night after I got out of school. Also
thank you for your honest opinion on everything, it helped
us find the perfect home.
My parents are getting ready to look for a home and I wil
recommend them to you. I would recommend you to anyone, because
you work so hard so we don't have to. It made the whole experience
easy for us, and my wife was pregnant and you helped take
alot of stress off of her.
Thanks again Dan for all your hard work, and thank you for
our first house warming gift.
Sincerely your friends for life,
Joe and Emma Mahon
Dear Dan,
It was a pleasure to get acquainted with you. You're easy
to talk to and have a sense of humor which we appreciate.
We like your professionalism, and honesty, when you told us
something we could count on it. Thanks again for going the
extra mile to take care of some of the details for us and
saving us the long trip in.
Dan, we will highly recommend you to our friends, relatives
as a very knowledgeable, caring and honest REALTOR®.
We hope you will have continued success in the Real Estate
busienss and in all your endeavors. Thanks again for selling
the property in Majestic Heights.
Sincerely,
Jack and Carol Hone
Dear Dan,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere
thanks for making this difficult decision of selling our home
a pleasant experience.
I appreciate you giving me advice and offering your assistance
in making sure our home would be appealing to potential buyers.
Your professional expertise in Real Estate is why I was able
to sell my home in less than a week. Now I am able to move
to sunny St. George and spend time with my grandchildren.
I thank you for making this possible.
I hope that you will have continued success in all your endeavors.
Sincerely,
Laila Vaifanua
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter to express my overall happiness
in regards to the sale of my home. I originally tried selling
my home on my own, with little success. Knowing Dan on a personal
level I became aware of his dealings in Real Estate and discussed
selling my home with him.
I must admit I was very impressed with the initial dealings
with Dan. I had an immediate response with a sign in front
of my home the very next day with a detailed description sheet
on my home. A picture was taken of my home and on the MLS
listings within three days.
Dan was in constant contact with me the first couple of weeks
to make sure all information about the home was listed correctly
and I knew exactly what was going on with the sale of my home.
Each time there were clients interested in seeing my home,
Dan was sure to call and schedule an appropriate time to stop
by. Throughout the process of selling my home Dan was genuinely
concerned about my issues and concerns and stayed in communication
with me to take care of any issues I had along the way.
I am quiet confident in saying that Dan's dedication and
persistence in marketing my home is why the home sold, and
in an appropriate time frame from when it was listed. I would
highly recommend Dan Walker to anyone looking for a professional,
dedicated and caring person to buy or sell a home.
Sincerely,
Greg Winn
Dear Dan,
Kelly and I wanted to thank you so much for all you did getting
us into a house that is our perfect family home. It felt weird
at first, as all new places do, but now it feels more like
home than anywhere we have ever lived. (This is the house
I know I've been waiting for).
It was a hard road getting to this point and I just wanted
to let you know how much we appreciate all you did, which
is more than any REALTOR® I've ever known. From, what might
to some seem like little things but to me were huge, the concern
and caring for us not just as clients but as people was unbelievable!
Just to name a few examples:
" Bringing us boxes and packing tape to pack with.
" Taking us to lunch when the first closing didn't go
through
" Always trying to look on the bright side, like when
we got right down to closing
Again, and the FHA roofer decided the day before to check
the roof. It needed to be replaced and you reminded us that
even though time was getting short when we needed to be out
of our apartment, we were getting a brand new roof. A better
roof that would last us at least 15 years.
" You lined up someone you knew and had it was done so
quickly that we were amazed.
" Then before we could get over that you got my boys
and your chainsaw, while the
Dumpster was still there and picked up tree branches torn
from the beautiful trees during the winter storms and cut
down one tree that had been split in half.
" You made sure we had the warranty on the house, just
in case. (Even though you
Were the agent for both the seller and the buyer)
" And about that you were fair with us and thoughtful
of both your clients.
" You fought for us and the seller, when closings were
put off and mistakes were made by the lender.
" You even wrote letters for both our Places of Employment,
explaining the situation and it helped for managers and supervisors
to understand.
" You gave us the key as soon as possible since time
was short and we had waited so long. Allowing us more time
to move in.
" When we were going through the big ordeal of trying
to close and many obstacles
Stood in our way, because of papers not being ready, papers
typed incorrectly and then the problem with the roof, you
stayed in close contact with me. Calling me every day when
necessary to give me updates.
" In everything you did you were accurate, papers to
be initialed or signed, you explained everything as we went
along so we didn't feel left in the dark and you were honest.
Something we had yet to experience and it was a great experience
to know that there are still honest people in this world that
are out to make a living of course but not to devastate anyone's
life in the process just to make themselves rich. It was very
refreshing.
" I found you easy to talk to, with your sense of humor
and easy going manner.
" Even though I could tell you were getting exasperated,
as things progressed and we still hadn't closed, you handled
yourself with dignity and professionalism.
" There were a few nights we spent just talking. Talking
about music, the neighborhood and your other endeavors. I
even remember calling to ask your advice on getting Microsoft
Certified for my own job.
" It didn't seem that the selling of this house was just
a job or a transaction between two parties. We became friends
and Kelly and I really like that.
" There were many nights you came to our apartment because
I was not feeling well, to sign papers. I've never had the
kind of service and caring you gave us over buying a house
and I'm quite sure we came out with the better deal. But even
in that you seemed pleased that we were so pleased.
" You truly care and that comes across in everything
you do.
I wanted to write this letter sooner but with moving I became
very ill, not making it to work some days and I also had three
nights a week to take my daughter to social workers, line
up a Tudor, and doctor's appointments because of some issues
she's been going through.
But Kelly and I wanted you to know how much we appreciate
everything you've done for us. It hasn't been a small thing
in our lives but a huge growth, learning to trust again and
also receiving our dream home. It's working out so well. We
love our new house and never want to move again.
Thanks again you can never know how you've changed our lives
for the better. If you ever need a reference give them my
phone number, because all I have to say is good about you,
Dan, our REALTOR® and our friend. (And new friends aren't that
easy to come by these days or great REALTOR®'S).
Loving Life,
Kelly F. Lovell, Kara Lee Lovell and the Lovell Clan. (Including
Happy our new Golden Labrador Retriever).
