I recently had the great pleasure in helping my clients Matt and Denise Gallegos find their perfect vacation house in South Lake Tahoe. The house that they decided on was a bank owned foreclosure on a large sunny lot in the Meyers area.
Here is what Matt and Denise had to say about their transaction:
“The customer service provided by Brent Johnson and Chase International was beyond the call of duty. Purchasing our first vacation home, Brent not only called us everyday, but he did a lot of work for us that we were not able to do ourselves because we live some three hours away! We met out of the blue while on vacation in South Lake Tahoe and he drove us around all day answering questions and showing us every home available in our price range. No pressure or hassles, but genuine customer service. I would recommend Brent Johnson to my family and friends because of his character, integrity, and honesty”
Matt and Denise Gallegos
Matt and Denise were able to buy real estate in South Lake Tahoe due to the fact that it is now “a buyers market”.
I was very happy to receive this letter from Matt and Denise. It shows that I stick to my motto that ”I provide million dollar service for all of my clients!”
