Client Testimonials

Mike Burdick

Aime interviewed several agents before she chose one.  You were picked because you were sharp, knew your business, dressed for success and you were likeable, amicable and communicated well.  It wasn't until later on in the deal we found you had perseverance and a caring nature.  The other agents that came to our little depressed neighborhood in south Garland kinda treated us like a depressed neighborhood - not good.  Keep representing yourself professionally no matter who the client - big, small, rich or poor.  Thanks for your help.

 

Brittany and Tim Spurlock - December 2009

Hip, hip, HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim and I possibly can not even begin to tell you and Amy how THANKFUL we are that you have helped us out so much!  You both took your own personal time, your creativity to get this finished, and your patience with us.  You both are angels on earth.  Even though we can’t do what we would like: send you on some fabulous vacation for all of your hard work and dedication, please know that our lives have been richly blessed by you and Amy.  Even though we don’t know you face to face, I feel like you are both such good friends; I’ll almost miss the correspondence of both of your cute personalities!  You mean so much to me, and you have truly given us a gift!  THANK YOU!

Trent & Aimee Steele, December 2009

My wife and I used Amy Downs and her team to sell our house.  As the deal started to crumble on closing day Amy worked tirelessly and on our behalf to save the deal. Two other family members have also used Amy to sell their house and we're all very satisfied with the results.

 

Travis & April McCain, November 2009

I have been extremely pleased with the professionalism, experience and all around service provided by Amy and her staff. Twice in the past few years I have had the pleasure of partnering with her team and would highly recommend her service to anyone buying or selling a home.

  

The Bowens - October 2009

Amy did a great job getting our house sold in a tough market. Korin went above and beyond in helping us find and purchase our new home. Thanks so much!

 

Gureras, September 2009

This is the second time that I have used Amy and her team. I am extremely happy and satisfied with the job that they did selling my home especially in a market that has been plagued by foreclosures and short sells. Amy and her team are always professional and level headed no matter the situation. It was a pleasure working with her again and I hope that when I start looking for a home where I am now that I can find someone that is as attentive to their clients as she is to all of hers. If you are looking for a professional, lively, attentive realtor that is in constant communication with you then you should not hesitate to call Team Downs no matter if you are buying or selling a home. If I come back to the area someday I will definitely look her up to help find a good home. Thanks to all of the people at Team Downs and special thanks to Amy and Denise for all of their hard work. God Bless!

Stunkards, September 2009

 Excellent service with frequent contact for Team Downs.

Delia Seaman - November 2009

Dear Amy,
I've written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users.

Details of the Recommendation: "Amy worked every detail as if it was the most important in selling our home quickly. Amy and her team were professional and personal with every aspect of the process. Amy was always in touch with us, keeping us updated during the entire process. Amy poured her all into moving this property and even helped us with finding a rental property. When it's time to buy again we wouldn't consider using anyone else. I would not hesitate for a moment to refer my family and friends to Amy knowing she will take care of them as if they were her own."

“Amy is the hardest working Realtor I have ever seen! She stays in constant contact with me on everything, and the flyer box at the house has never been empty. It's amazing to me, with everything she has to do, that communication has never dropped off, she's always updating me on what's happening with the housing market, and sends me articles from publications regarding the housing market. Class Act! Would recommend her to anyone, looking to buy or sell a house. Rick Ferguson Southwest Regional Manager Crossville Inc.”

The McComa's - April 2008  

Amy was referred to us by a friend. We were not sure if we wanted land or a home on a regular sized lot to start off with. Our goal, of course, was land with a home.

Please feel free to use us as a future reference.

 

The Knott's - March 2008

Korin exceeded our expectations while listening to our concerns and making recommendations. She delivered on what was promised and was accessible when we needed her.

I found Korin through the internet due to my relocating from out of state. She was very organized and accessible to me when I needed her.

 

The Lovaasens - January 2007

A friend referred us to Team Downs, and their performance was very good! In finding a home for us they were very willing to show us properties during non-business hours.

Good communication about the process.

She has great communication, was eager to do business, willing to listen and educate. We thank you. Shannon is a definite plus for your business .

The Rannebarger's - December 2007

I found Amy's team from a search on Google. I think the entire experience was great. We first thought we wanted a pre-owned home, but ended up going with a new home.

Korin was accessible, listened, and delivered what was promised. I would use her again when I need a real estate professional!

 

Patricia Buford - 2006

I have had agent's to show my property and have been present. Amy showed my home on April 26th, and I was so impressed over the way she handled the prospective buyers compared to other agents. She was very professional and detailed during the showing. I think and credit her as being a very professional agent and her company is very lucky to have her as an agent in their company. There should be more agents like her.

 

The Kaylors - August 2006

My daughter referred me to Team Downs. They were always professional and available for any problem or question that arose.

The Effels - August 2006

Amy, I look forward to working with you again. These days it's hard to find a Realtor that will "Get'er Done" when time is short. You came through for all of us and we're very happy. Next time I am aware of someone looking to buy or sell a home I'll send them your way for sure. Quite honestly you could not have done a better job!! It was Perfect, Terrific! The Best!!

 

The Finigan's - August 2006

I was referred to Amy through an upgrade program through Ryland Homes. Amy's performance was excellent. I couldn't have asked for better customer service than what we received from Team Downs.

I was referred to Amy's team from Highland Homes. They sold our house very fast, and I don't think there was anything they didn't do to sell it.

 

The Reids

Amy did an incredible job marketing and selling our home. She immediately saw the value in our home, set a price significantly higher than any other Realtor had advised and then went out and got it. Our house sold in 17 days and we made more money than we thought we would! We couldn't be happier.

 

The Arnolds

It was the little things that we appreciated in Amy. Amy was beside us every step in the building process. Amy's follow-up was great. We are happy in our new home and she has checked in with us to make sure we are doing okay. You can be sure that Amy represents her company well. You should be proud to have her on your team. Please forward this to anyone who should see this feedback.

 

The Baldwin's

We found Amy on the internet after deciding to relocate from California back to the Dallas area to be closer to our family. She immediately began working with us to find the perfect home. Our criteria wasn't uncommon, we wanted a fixer upper for the least amount of money with a great turnaround investment opportunity. She began printing home listings and faxing them to me on very short notice. It wasn't long before we found our dream home. With the assistance of Amy's buyer agent, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend them as our Realtor.

 

Pam Stoldt

A neighbor referred Amy to me, because she was successful in the sale of his home. Her performance was great, and she sold my home in 30 days. Our previous listing agent held the listing for 90 days and hardly showed the property. There isn't anything I can think of that she didn't do to promote the sale of my home, and I will continue to refer her business in the future.

 

Mike Jenny

Hi Amy, I just wanted to thank you for the assistance in finding and purchasing our house. It was very nice of you to leave the gift in the kitchen. Moving has been crazy, but we got it all moved in. Now the fun of unpacking it all is going to start. Thank you for your help through the whole process.

 

The Perry's

Thank you for all your hard work!

 

Adam and Clarise

Amy was always there for us regardless of time or day. On both the sale and purchase of our homes we were very impressed with the handling of the paperwork every time it went through the title company.

 

The Echols - December 2005

The most valuable thing Amy did for us was listing our house so fast on her website with the pictures of my home. She also used multiple listing sources.

 

The Borens

We heard of Team Downs from the Move-Up America Program. Amy was very honest with us, I felt like she was the only one I could trust in the process. We give her an A+ in the business!

 

Chad Kopeki

I was referred to Amy through a friend. Her performance was great with quick response time to my calls and email. I also like the fact that Amy gave me a list of things to expect before the purchase of my home was complete.

George Aponte

Hi Amy, I first and foremost want to send thanks to you and your staff for being so supportive of me in the attempt of selling my house. You constantly maintained a professional demeanor throughout this arduous process. I would most definitely like to send special thanks to you for constantly looking out for my best interest when it came down to helping me.

 

Angie Toerper

Dear Amy, Thank you so much for providing us with listings in the Rowlett & Richardson area. We appreciate your help and prompt response to our questions. If we come across anyone looking for houses in Rockwall/Rowlett we will definitely refer them to you.

 

The Sages

Amy and Shannon, Thanks for all your work with us. It was a pleasure working with you.

 

Darlean Cheatham

I called Amy because of all the signs she had in my neighborhood. Her performance was perfect. Her patience and concern in helping me through the selling process, always being available to return calls and answer calls, her advertisements, reports and updates were all very valuable. She can definitely use me as a reference in the future.

 

Shirley Oxman

I received a 'Just Sold' card from Amy on a rental property I own. I called her for a market analysis, and she had kept in touch with me since my first call to her. She provided excellent service and good follow-up. She always returned my calls right away and found a lender to close the buyer, she didn't represent, timely, when the buyer's agent could not find a lender for her own client. She has my permission to use me for a future reference.

- The Gerharts

 

Melissa Kaemmer

Amy was referred to me by my landlord who was selling the condo I was currently leasing. Amy was incredibly helpful! I was a first time home buyer and very nervous. Amy did a great job educating me every step of the way. Her patience and education were most valuable to me. Amy always had time to answer 'just one more question'. Her referrals to other professionals were very appreciated. I absolutely would recommend Amy's team to anyone needing to buy or sell a home.

 

Larry and Karon Richter

We found a listing on realtor.com that had Amy as the listing agent. We followed up with a look at her website and scheduled a view of the listed home. She was professional, easy to work with and very responsive to our taste and style of home. Amy created a profile of potential properties and provided e-mail listings in a timely manner, which we could evaluate and then set up showings. We wish we could have found a home sooner, however she was very gracious and drove all over the countryside for which we are very grateful. She can absolutely use us a reference.

 

John and Stefanie Killian

Amy was referred to us by a friend that had used her to sell their property and purchase land to build on. She did a great job with the sale of our home and provided us with regular marketing updates, which were most valuable. She has our permission to use us as a reference.

 

Daron and Colleen Jetton

Selling our home and building a new one was a big step for our family to make. There was always that doubt that something would go wrong during the process. As issues came up, they were discussed with us and taken care of promptly. Our whole experience in this process was excellent. Amy Elder and her team have a lifelong friend and customer and I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. Thank you for everything.

 

Dollie and Bennie Taylor

We wanted to send our thanks and appreciation for being so thorough and timely in selling our home on Jasmine in Rowlett. Your promptness and help meant so much to us. We have and will continue to recommend you and your personnel to our family and friends. Again many thanks.

 

Vince and Susan Voyles

We very much appreciated Amy's help with selling our home. She was very efficient, always available to answer a question and always knowledgeable in answering our questions. She worked hard to sell our home in a market that was a little slow at the time. It was hard to sell a home that we lived in so long and she was even there to comfort me and let me know everything would be alright. Again, thanks for everything.

 

Ron and Barbara Wood

Amy had barely gotten the ink dry on the contract before we were receiving calls to see the house. Amy's staff are very professional and helpful. We showed the house a total of 21 times in less than 10 days. We had a contract and sold the home in 11 days. WOW. . .surprised us! I would recommend Amy and her staff to everyone in the area. Amy only wants what's best for her clients, I would not hesitate to use her again if the need arises.

 

Jane Shirey

Buying a house through Amy's Team was a great experience. Her team manifested themselves with great professionalism. Throughout the buying process all my questions and concerns were quickly and efficiently addressed. At no time did I ever feel my time was being wasted. I know anyone will be taken good care of.

 

Darin Clarke

This is my second time to use Amy's Team because of her ability to work well with customers. They were timely with documents and service.

 

Martin and Mona Mendoza

We were referred to Amy. She walked us through everything. We were totally new to this process, and she made it very easy.

 

Sam and Cindy Wade

Joby and Michele Peacock

Amy's Team provided outstanding service. We had continuous contact with them about our house selling status, and they listened and worked with us on our concerns. Their advertising and communication were most valuable.

 

Lowell & Norma Ginn

Amy, Thank you for a job well done!

 

Jamie & Brandon McNabb

Coming from San Antonio, we did not know much. Your knowledge of Wylie and the surrounding area help make us feel confident about moving to this area.

 

Tricia Johns

Amy was always there to answer any questions or concerns.

 

Jamie and Jenifer Gerhart

Amy was referred to us by a friend. She had sold their home in Rowlett. She provided outstanding service to us throughout the home selling process. We were always kept informed about everything and no matter how many times we called her, Amy was always very patient and helpful. This was very valuable to us. There wasn't anything she could have done more to help us out. Amy can use us for a reference in the future, and we'll be glad to give her name to anyone we know needing real estate services in the future.

 

Danny Emerson

Amy did an excellent job with the sale of my home in Rowlett. She was very helpful in every way. She can use me as a reference in the future.

 

Rick Plunk

I called Amy because I received something in the mail from her at least once a month for the last three years. Anything from 'Just Listed' to 'Just Sold' cards, newsletters, flags on the 4th of July, etc. She provided outstanding results with the sale of my home. Her advice and visibility were most appreciated during the home selling process. The only thing she didn't do for me was mow my lawn.

 

Darrell and Amy VanLeer

We had used Amy previously to sale a home and purchase the one that we recently sold. She did an excellent job during all transactions. She gave us the personal attention that we needed during the selling process, and she was always available to assist us with questions during the transactions. I can't think of anything that she didn't do to help us out.

 

Troy and Anita Roland

We chose Amy to market and sale our home due to her presence in the neighborhood, from the signs that continuously listed her name as the listing agent throughout the neighborhood to the follow-up 'Just Listed/Sold' postcards. The performance was outstanding and the service was very professional. On a percentage scale, she exceeded 100%. The things that were most valuable to us were the immediate feedback on the best ways to get our home sold and the written marketing service reports that outlined everything going on with our home. Amy's personality and humor made us extremely comfortable. I would most definitely recommend Amy to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home.
