December 2007
Tracy.....Thank you so much for the role you played in getting us into our DREAM in the mountains. We are completely settled and our kids are so excited to be able to go snowboarding in December. Please stop by and see what we've done if you have a chance. Merry Christmas.

Dave & Rosie Parks





Scott and I wanted to tell you how please we were with the services you provided for us. You asked us what we wanted, how much we wanted to spend, what neighborhood, etc, and you gave us exactly what we wanted. We appreciate all the time you spent with us and we will continue to recommend your services to our family and friends. Should we ever need a new home, we hope that we can work with you again!

Scott & Christy Pepper



Dear Bryan,
Bryan Anerson was our real estate agent for the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our present home.

Bryan was knowledgeable, professional and helpful beyond what we had expected from a real estate agent. He was always available, and he answered all of our questions, no matter how mundane. His persistence and follow through were remarkable.

Buying or selling a home can be a terrible or a wonderful experience, in our case thanks to Bryan's expertise we were able to have the home we always wanted.

We were very pleased with the services Bryan provided and we feel very comfortable recommending him for your real estate services.

Yours Truly,


Randy and Linda Maggio



Dear Bryan,

Katie and I want to thank you for all the professional assistance you provided to us during our recent home buying experience. We certainly appreciated all of your flexibility in dealing with our multiple schedules and our many questions. You made the whole experience from finding a house to financing it a much more pleasant one. We are now settled in and have had many nice comments on our new home.

I know that each house buying experience is difficult and different in its own right. I am positive that dealing with us had a higher degree of difficulty due to the fact that our correspondence occured at "off" ours since we were living in Germany when the process started. Thanks for taking care of Katie so well during her house finding visit to the USA and for all the planning and replanning you did to make her trip successful. It was nice knowing that you were our agent and that you knew our situation well enough to handle our plans even though we were 8,000 miles away.

I was glad after all the years that I have known you, that when I did decide to buy a house you were there to help us. I have already recommended you to several friends and family for their home buying needs.

Thanks for all of your efforts and feel free to use us as a reference fo your future customers as it was a pleasure doing business with you.

Sincerely,

Jack and Katie Tobin



It has been our pleasure to work with Bryan over the past decade. His attention to detail, knowledge of the market, and communication skills have benefited us in all of our real estate transactions. Due to Bryan's thoroughness and interest in our goals, as clients, we have profited financially.

We continue to use his services and highly recommend Bryan to others.

Mr. & Mrs. Thomas A. Vandeloop



Personal touched by whole staff. It took so long to sell, but we made it!!!!! On a scale of 1 to 5, Brown Group Realty received a 5! Would recommend to family & friends

Don & Rosi ( Mack, Co. )



Wish you had come and unpacked for us.
Thanks for selling our home.

Bill & Linda Cassay




Even though the sale was a long and hard one, you and Vicki worked together to make it an easy and smooth sale. I know there were a few bumps, but you never lost sight of us and our needs.

Of course, we expect the same with the sale of our business because the sale of the home will be hard to top!

Thanks for all you continue to do to serve us and the White Mountains.

Donald & Debra Carpenter



The Brown Group Realty & Investments has sold two properties for us and has always been very good at keeping us informed and really cares for his clients. The thing I liked the best about working with him is he always kept us up to date on what was going on and I recommend him to our family & friends.

Bobbie Angers and Steve Roberson



Three potential buyers were shown through my house within 3 days after it was listed. One of the three were the buyers who purchased my home within a week. The house was practically sold by the time it appeared on the Brown Group's websites. Listing with the Brown Group proved to be a very satisfying experience.
If any of my relatives, friends or acquaintances were interested in selling or buyin a home. I would strongly advise they list with The Brown Group Realty & Investments.

Irma Sheler-Show Low



This is a letter that was non solicited by The Brown Group Realty & Investments. It is a thank you letter for a job very well done with his personal attention to detail.............


I would like to thank you and your staff for all the assistance you have given me in the sales of my house in Show Low.
As you know I had it on the market for over a year with out one bid.
The best decision I have made was to turn the sale of my home over to you. In less than a month you not only sold the house but had several bids on it.
I can not thank you enough for your efforts and kindness. You are a true professional.

If you ever need a reference or any assistance in any way please call me.

Thank you again.

Sincerely
Ken Allen

The Brown Group Realty & Investments listed and sold our home in the Show Low Country Club for cash and even the kitchen table. They worked very hard on our behalf and would recommend them to anyone that wants a loyal and hard working Realtor working for them.

Bruce and Charlyne Juelfs (Mesa, AZ)



We found our perfect mountain home in the White Mountains. They worked hard for us and kept in touch with us during the whole process. His expertise was very valuable since we didn't know the values in the different areas.

Thomas Green (Gilbert, AZ)



The Brown Group Realty & Investments worked very hard on our behalf and received quick results. He is very knowledgeable and his negotiating skills can't be beat. He looked out for our interests since he represented us. We have recommended to our family and friends.

Spike and Michelle Grimes (Show Low, Arizona)



I listed my home in Lakeside and I received a contract quickly which I accepted. Troy did an excellent job of negotiating a sales contract very quickly. He also did a great job successfully navigating a somewhat bumpy closing process. I appreciated not only his professionalism from an analytical & knowlege stand point but also his sensitively to the emotional side of selling a home.

Nancy Cueva (Mesa, Arizona)



The Brown Group Realty & Investments listened to what we wanted and found our dream property. The property wasn't even listed. They first found the property, found the owners then he preceded to negotiate a sale. He was easy to get in touch with and he responds quickly to all requests and situations. They covered all the bases. They worked hard, long, and aggresively. Not once did he become discouraged or impatient. The support staff he has in place is great. I ABSOLUTELY would recommend the company to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in the White Mountains area. Get The Brown Group Realty & Investments they will getter done!

Rick and Tammy Dennison (Lakeside, Arizona)



Troy worked very hard on our behalf, very knowledgeable, well organized and got us quick results. We have recommended him to all of our friends and family. Thanks Again......

Nick & Shellie Carter (Maryland)



We are very satisfied with Troy's performance and recommend him to anyone needing a Realtor for Life, who will look out for their interest. Troy is knowledgeable of values in various areas of the White Mountains. Troy uses his knowledge of marketing in the upmost degree and effect. Very knowledgeable on real estate, escrow, loan process and inspections. He works closely with title company to facilitate closing and timely manner. Keeps in touch by mail, e-mail, and phone calls. He advised us on the best strategy to get deal done. Troy is personable, quick and well organized.

Andy and Barbara Brown (Clinton, Utah)



Troy has been very helpful and kept Sandy and I very informed on the progress of the sale. It was Troy who got us in contact with a financial organization that was qualified in VA home loans. We are happy with the results. I would recommend Troy and the Brown Group to Anyone.

Terry and Sandra Brezina (Lakeside, Arizona)



Excellent Job, Thanks A Lot Troy We Appreciate All You Did For Us!!!! We will and have recommended him to our friends and family. He will always be our realtor.

Alfonso & Linnea Morales (St. John, Arizona)



Although Troy did not actually sell our house, I would definitely use his service again.

He was very enthusiastic, prompt, courteous and well organized. I appreciated the fact that he was always easy to reach. He was especially helpful in the actual closing. Thanks Troy for the great job !

Steve and Gini Anderson (Tucson, AZ)



We had a very positive experience working with Troy. He spent time with us during the listing process by driving around and comparing other homes in the area. We received updates on a regular basis that kept us informed and encouraged. The sale went smooth and we had our check a week or so before the projected closing date. We HIGHLY recommend "The BROWN Group" !!!

Gordon Farr (Snowflake, AZ)



Thank you so much for a pleasant experience in getting my home sold. It sold so fast (sold in 11 days) I really had to get moved quickly but that worked out well too because you helped me with office equipment in getting documents to out of town agent.

Thank you again.

Judy Bedard (Show Low, AZ)



Cathy and I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and to say "Thank You!!" for a job well done. We have purchased and sold several properties over the years. Bar none our experience working with you and GMAC Real Estate was the most pleasurable experience we have had with any realtor. Your polite and gentlemanly mannerism was comfortable and we did not feel rushed or pressured. It was helpful that you had grown up in the mountains also, as it was good for us to talk about the history of the area. We gained a good understanding of what we were looking for though our conversations. And, you went out of your way to find a quilt shop for Cathy. Now that is service !!

I thoroughly enjoyed your company and was a bit sad when it was all over. You are an honest man and we would certainly come to your first for any future real estate transactions.

Thanks again Troy and Merry Christmas !!

Ron & Cathy Platt (Tucson, AZ)



Frank Kartanowicz (Sarasota, Florida)



Kim and I wish to extend our thanks to you, and your staff, regarding the recent sale of our home in Show Low. The marketing, management, and successful close of escrow for our home were conducted in an exceptionally professional manner.

Our relocation to Canada required that we leave the sale of our “dream home” in the care of a realtor/firm with whom we could place our complete trust. We were pleased that Troy Brown fulfilled this trust, and performed beyond any (reasonable) expectations we could have had when we left beautiful Show Low.

We highly recommend the realty services of Troy Brown, and his staff, and thank you once again for your dedicated assistance throughout the sale of our home.

Sincerely,

Paul Hanlan

Paul & Kim Hanlan (Spruce Grove, Alberta)



Beth was friendly, easy to work with, responded quickly and closed our deal in only 15 days. In fact, I'm looking for more property in the Show Low area and using Beth once again as my Realtor.

John Kirsch

(John Kirsch, Florence, AZ)



This young family just relcated to the area and are pleased with the negotiations we've undergone. Although we offered full price we were successful in getting a large allowance back from the seller for the home improvements they'll be making to their new home.

Benjamin, Bethany and Kelsee



This is the most concise and precise testimonial I've ever received ....

"You did what you said you would, and more."

My motto: Underpromise and Overdeliver. It works.
**************

I sold this very same home for the Burnetts less than a year later for full price in 14 days... I can sell yours too.

Glenn and Denise Burnett (California)



Since we were out of town buyers and would be in and out of Show Low, Troy always made sure everything was moving forward. He would e-mail checklists so when we were in Show Low we weren't wasting time. Even after the close of our new home he helped with documents needed from County Authorities to setup our P.O. Box.

Thanks Troy for making everything go so smoothly.

Mike & Stacy MacArthur (Prescott, AZ)



To whom it may concern,

It is our sincere pleasure to highly recommend Troy Brown to anyone who is in the market to buy/sell a home. We were lucky enough to be referred to Troy through a mutual friend after having been thoroughly disappointed with our initial Realtor. Troy restored our trust and confidence in realtor services.

We were living out of state when we listed our home for sale, which made it difficult for us to personally handle certain aspects of selling a home. Troy was willing and able to take care of pertinent issues that we could not easily do from out of state. (i.e., locating contractors for various bids, inspecting work of contractors to assure quality, etc.) He addressed any concerns we had, offered various suggestions, remedied problems quickly, and all the while operated in our best interest. Troy utilizes many technological resources in the process of selling a home that greatly impacts the accessibility of perspective buyers to the home.

Buying or selling a home is never an easy task, yet Troy made the process of selling our home as pleasant and worry-free as possible. After unknowlingly entrusting an unprofessional, apathetic Realtor with our home we were very fortunate to be referred to a Realtor the caliber of Troy Brown. Troy is professional, diligent, trustworthy, effective, dedicated and overall a great person. It is our privilege to pass on that referral to all who are in the market to buy or sell a home. You will not be disappointed if you choose Troy Brown to represent you or your home.

Sincerely,
Bruce and Julie Gessner
Austin, Texas

Bruce and Julie Gessner (Austin, TX)



We really appreciate all the hard work Troy did in helping us purchase our home. He worked fairly between the seller and us, and represented our interests well. In addition to that, Troy went to a City Council meeting and negotiated with the council to help resolve an issue concerning our new home.

He was professional, conscientious and detail oriented. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Ed and Kimberley Hash (Show Low, AZ)



We were clients of Beth Williams in the Fall of 2002. She worked very diligently to help us find a suitable house to purchase. We did find and purchase one that we are very pleased with.

We found she was willing to go the extra mile(many miles) for us to view the listings she had searched out.

Since we were out of town buyers we asked for and received several extra services. She was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her as your real estate representative.

Sincerely,
Don and Evelyn Allen

Don and Evelyn Allen (Tucson, AZ)



Troy knew exactly what I was looking for because he asked the right questions. He truly cared about my being content with my choices and called me in Florida to tell me he had found "The One" and he was right. We made a solid offer and now it's my pride and joy. The cabin in the trees I've always wanted. Thank you Troy.

Francis "Skip" Kartanowicz



Barry completed our "Quality Assurance Survey" and awarded The BROWN Group with the highest marks in ALL categories (kept in touch, worked hard on our behalf, got quick results, helpful in general, looked out for our interests, knowledgeable, well organized, good negotiating skills and easy to contact). He further noted, "Very flexible and professional" and that he would utilize our services again without hesitation. ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER.

Barry Groom (Lakeside, AZ)



I had been referred to Troy Brown and met with him a few times before listing my property for sale. I'm very pleased with how quickly Troy was able to sell my home ... only a matter of a few days from putting the sign up. Troy found a buyer and walked us both through the process with constant communication, excellent coordination with all parties involved (i.e. Title Co., Lender, Appraiser, etc...), and his being highly organized brought things to a close in a timely and efficient manner.

I would highly recommend you call Troy or an associate of his newly formed "BROWN Group" if you want the job done right, done efficiently and in an organized and well structured manner, done quickly and with firm negotiating. Troy's marketing is second to none I've heard of in the White Mountain area. I know you'll be pleased.

Frank and Janice Yancey



To Whom it May Concern:

I recently had the pleasure of doing business with Troy Brown. I was very satisfied with Troy's professional service. Hiss committment to selling my property in Show Low was diligent to say the least. I would not hesitate to use Mr. Brown is an asset to your company.

Thank you,

Mark S. Kerekes (Springerville, AZ)



These are results from my survey sent to the Abrams: I received the highest scores for "got quick results", "looked out for our interests", "knowledgeable", "well organized", "negotiating skills", "promoted out house", "advertised our house", and "helpful in general."

I found it somewhat comical that they gave me a "4" out of 5 in the area of "worked hard" ... they're playing with me ... I guess it would be hard to give me a "5" there when I sold the house in just a few days and for all cash on an "as is" basis.

They reported to have liked the most, "your outgoing personality and energy". It was a pleasure working with the Abrams.

Matt and Mary Abrams (Show Low, AZ)



Mr. Troy Brown, without a doubt, is the best Realtor we have ever dealt with. His caring and professional demeanor is above reproach. He is the type of person that you would enjoy having as a friend and a neighbor.

We currently live in California and it is extremely difficult to shop for property in another state. We were looking for our retirement home in the Show Low area and Troy's well constructed website provided abundant information and links to help us in our search.

During our initial visit to his website, we completed the online contact information and Troy immediately called us to offer whatever assistance we needed in finding our retirement home. Prior to visiting Show Low last June, we provided Troy with enough information as to what we were looking for and our price range.

After arriving in Show Low, Troy came to our hotel with a laundry list of homes that fit our requirements. He then chauffeured us around the Show Low area showing us each and every listing and helped keep score on those we liked best. At the end of the day, he gave us a printout of each property we were most interested in.

The following day, we called Troy and told him we were prepared to make an offer on a home in the Show Low Golf & Country Club Estates. He came to our hotel, wrote up the offer and presented it to the sellers immediately thereafter. The sellers countered and we accepted. All of this occurred in the span of only two days!

"This letter is in reference to our Realtor, TROY BROWN. Troy has done an outstanding job for us on the recent purchase of our home in Eagar. Back in March, Michael was offered a job interview with a local company and, as we were looking to relocate out of Southern California, we decided to look around the area before committing. I contacted Troy via internet and the next day he emailed us information and pictures of several homes. We were in constant contact with him up until the weekend we decided to drive out and look at the area first hand. Troy, knowing that we were "just looking" as Mike hadn't even been ofered a job yet, gave up an entire Saturday driving us to homes in Eagar, Springerville and Lakeside / Pinetop. He was very knowledgeable and personable, pointing out areas of interest along the way. He even took the time to introduce us to the owners of the local feed store as we have horses and were concerned about the quality of feed in the area before making the decision to move.

As our luck would have it, Mike was offered the job and he made another trip out to look at a home that Troy had been unable to show us on our original visit. Once again, Troy fit us into his schedule. We ended up making an offer on the home. Troy called us right back to tell us the offer had been accepted. He then got us in touch with a lender who was a pleasure to work with and home insurance contacts, utilities etc... since we were out of the area and that information was not readily accessible to us.

Fortunately our sale went smoothly. Troy was in constant touch with us regarding everything. What few questions we had, Troy got the answers for us promptly. He was wonderful about returning phone calls. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is a true professional and a pleasure to do business with.

Sincerely,
Michael and Kathi Campbell

Michael & Kathi Campbell (Acton, California)



My home had been on the market for quite some time with another firm and I had received little to no service. A friend referred me to Troy and my home has been shown numerous times just in the last few weeks, been on mls tour, on the internet, and in numerous publications statewide. I highly recommend Troy for a positive experience in buying or selling your home.

Kristen (Show Low, Arizona)



Please let me take just a minute of your time to say "Thank You". I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Troy Brown and just wanted to write a quick letter to express my appreciation for his hard work and dedication. I have been in the home building business for 10 years now and have dealt with many realtors, none of which carried himself with such professionalism as Troy. In helping me close on my home, he went far beyond what was expected of him to make it as quick and painless a process as possible. He was very organized and always had an answer to all of my questions. I will be sure and tell my associates of my wonderful experience. Again, thank you.

Kyle Nace of Kyan Builders (Show Low, AZ)



I must admit I was very impressed with Troy in his being so organized. He worked very hard in promoting my home and always kept in touch. I most appreciated his monthly reports wherein he would inform me of what was being done in the sale of my home. I admired his positive and upbeat attitude even in the midst of solving problems. Long and short of it - HE GOT THE JOB DONE - very much to my satisfaction.

Troy, Thanks for all your help in selling my mother's property in St. Johns. It only took 76 days for Troy to provide us with a cash offer on our property. You are truly a professional.

Sue Austinson, Sun City, Arizona



After having one of my spec homes on the market for nearly a year on an open listing basis Troy called. He convinced me to list the property with him and I'm glad I did. I got a full price offer on my new home within just a few weeks with terms very much in my favor. The Brown Group Realty & Investments really looked out for my best interests.

Denny G. Finch of Rafter D Homes (Eagar, Arizona)



Troy just recently assisted us in purchasing a NEW home in Show Low and we are appreciative of all his many efforts. Such as having the utilities put in our names prior to closing for inspection purposes, having the new carpets cleaned at his expense after the appraiser tracked mud throughout the home, and following the process with strict supervision and seeing to our every need. We're very impressed with the dedication he has shown us in facilitating our new home purchase and highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or purchase real estate in the Show Low, Lakeside, Pinetop or surrounding areas.

***********

Just over 12 months after their purchase they relocated back East and I sold this home for them. They made a small profit even.

Roger & Diane Schultz (Show Low, AZ.)



We just want to thank you for all your hard work in selling our house. We really appreciate it so very much. The professional way in which you handled your clients was very impressive. Keep up the good work. Thanks again.
Vernon and Carol Church

Vernon & Carol Church (Peoria, AZ)



Thank you so much for all your help in selling my father's home. Being the trustee is hard enough, but having your help made it easier. In my opinion, you went above and beyond what you were reuired to do. You met me half way due to the location of my home and the location of the property for sale. The house was on the market for only 6 days and we had a pre-approved buyer. Now that's quick results.

You are more than qualified as a Realtor and I was very happy with your service.

The sale was a very pleasant experience and I'll be recommending you to everyone. Thank you again.

Kathleen Crabtree, Trustee (Show Low, AZ)



The Brown Group Realty & Investments had our home in the Show Low Country Club sold in 143 days from start to finish. He was also able to negotiate so as to get us 98% or slightly more of our asking price. We were very pleased with the constant communication and the ease of selling our home.

We then went through them in purchasing our new home in Show Low - our family is growing. He was successful in negotiations once again which ultimately resulted in our having $25,000 equity in our new home from the very start.

We recommend them for all of your real estate needs. Their honest and fair in all of his dealings and we loved his "No B.S." attitude - he calls it like it is ... no empty promises. A job well done.

Tim and Melissa King (Show Low, AZ)



The Brown Group Realty sent us a survey to complete after he had sold our home. That alone impressed me to think he cares so much about the quality of service he provides that he'd send me a survey. On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being superior) I gave the company all 5's and noted their professionalism and motivation. I will recommend The Brown Group Realty & Investment to my acquaintances.

Bill & Pat Nordberg (Mesa, AZ)



I had several realtors approach me to list my mother's home. I chose The Brown Group Realty & Investments and they got the job done. I was most impressed with their ongoing efforts to keep me well informed from listing my property to close of escrow.
They sent me a survey. On a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being superior) I gave them all 5's in the categories of, "kept in touch", "worked hard", "got quick results", "Helpful in general", "looked out for our interests", "knowledgeable", "well organized", "negotiating skills", and "promoted &
advertised my property".

Thank you The Brown Group Realty & Investments July 2002

Bobbie Angers (Show Low, AZ)



We were both very pleased and satisfied with their every effort. They not only listed and sold our home in the Show Low Golf & Country Club Estates but was helpful in negotiating the purchase of our new home in the Show Low Country Club.

We had previously had our home listed with other Realtors and even tried to sell it by ourselves... after three failed escrows we hired them and they had our home sold and into our new home within 163 days. We most appreciated their personal touch and genuine concern for our success and well being.

We highly recommend The Brown Group Realty & Investments whether you're selling or buying real estate.

Stanley & Gisela Kain (Show Low, AZ)



It was a pleasure working with The Brown Group Realty & Investments because they LISTENED and came to know very quickly what I wanted. I would highly recommend him to friends and family. We ran into some problems towards the closing of escrow and they was able to break through all the red tape and negotiate for an immediate close. They was very helpful and had my best interests at heart. I'd recommend The Brown Group Realty & Investments to you whether you're selling or buying in the area. He has contacts everywhere it seems - he referred me to a Realtor in Phoenix who sold my home there in record time. Very professional. Thanks again
