TESTIMONIALS

"It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we recommend Jamie Barber as a Realtor. It was time for us to find a new house so we of course thought about Jamie; he had helped our parents find their new house. But we weren’t going to be easy clients; we had a very small area we were willing to buy in and had several requirements for the house. Jamie was very patient. And his primary goal was to make sure we got a good house we were happy with, it didn’t matter how many houses we looked at, or how often we went out.

We finally found the house. It was a short sale. Jamie did a great job guiding us in what we should offer and what would be appealing to the bank. He also prepared us well for the process. A lot of hurry up and wait. He would have to remind us, with our own check list, why the house was worth waiting for, “don’t get discouraged”. And he was on top of everything, checking in with the selling agent weekly to see where they were with the bank. And then when it looked close, had all the inspectors ready to go, because once the bank says yes there is no time to waste. After 78 days of waiting for the bank and 20 days after the yes we were the owners of a house.

We highly recommend Jamie and would be happy to talk to any prospective clients about our experience."

"As first time homebuyers my wife and I were very interested in finding a competent, patient and informed real estate agent who could assist us through the home buying process. In that we were new to purchasing real estate, we had many questions and hoped for understandable explanations to successfully close our first real estate deal. From our initial meeting, throughout the home buying process, and even after closing escrow working with Jamie was very satisfying and enjoyable experience. Jamie adroitly and confidently guided us through numerous forms and contract, professionally referred us to qualified consultants and ethically assisted us in our financial dealings.

Jamie rose above and beyond our expectations and quickly earned a position as our most assuring and staunch ally in navigating the hurdles of purchasing real estate. It was our good fortune to be referred to Jamie while searching for our first home and we would like to offer our most sincere thanks to him for his efforts. Furthermore, we offer our highest commendations of Jamie to anyone interested in finding a professional, knowledgeable and energetic real estate agent.

We offer this recommendation in complete confidence that Jamie will continue to provide superb quality of services as exemplary businessman and realtor. We greatly look forward to working with Jamie on future real estate endeavors and wish him the best of success."

"The following is a letter Sharon Watson recently wrote to Bill & Kathy Papola, Brokers/Owners of Network Real Estate regarding her recent home purchase with Jamie…

I recently purchased a home in Grass Valley using your company. I started working with Pamela Ruth, and then transferred to Jamie Barber. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how wonderful they both are. I was a little worried when Pamela retired because I enjoyed working with her and she had been so helpful to us. However, Jamie was also professional, helpful and a pleasure to work with.

I am out of state so my daughter, who lives in Grass Valley, actually worked first hand with Jamie. He was unfailing kind to us, patient when we wobbled, weathering the mold reports with us, helping us understand what all the reports and filings were, taking the time to make sure we understood what was going on. You really feel he is on your side and a valuable partner in the process.

I have a small business and I know how important it is to have good people representing you. Congratulations on having an agent like Jamie."

"Sent to: Kathy & Bill Papola (Network Brokers)

Dear Kathy & Bill,

We must commend you on your hiring of such an exemplary employee as your Jamie Barber!

From our very first contact to the grueling process of finalizing our “short sale” he continually went above and beyond the “norm” in assisting us.

We have just moved down here from Oregon and to search for the right home long distance was difficult enough, but with Jamie’s assistance & guidance he made the whole process an enjoyable experience.

We know he has many clients but he made us feel like we were his only ones and that takes a special talent.

We feel like we have a new best friend in Jamie and can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for us in finding our new wonderful home in Grass Valley.

It would be a pleasure to recommend him to anyone interested in finding their right home."

"Dear Jamie,

We want to thank you so much for all the work you did to sell our manufactured home. You took care of every detail and always answered our questions clearly and quickly.

During the six months or so that it took to make this “hard sell”, you called us every week to report on the activity. Real Estate transaction and contracts are usually stressful for amateurs and you made us feel comfortable and secure in the feeling that you were always available.

We would certainly work with you again, if the occasion arises. Recommending you would be an easy thing to do. Please use our name if it is appropriate to do so."

Re: Testimonial

I had the pleasure of working with Jamie Barber starting this Jan. through May. I had not been involved with buying a house for thirty years, so was quite a novice. Jamie was kind & patient and kept me informed of all the processes, time lines, etc.

He was available by phone and e-mail and got back to me promptly with answers, advice, etc. I appreciated his honesty & guidance throughout this very detailed, lengthy, complicated process. He kept my spirits up, encouraging to go forward through all the bumps in the road.

I recommend Jamie to anyone buying/selling a house."

"Dear Jamie,

This letter cannot express all of our gratitude to you concerning your dedicated hard work in helping us to complete our move back to California.

There was 1 BIG obstacle. We were in different states!

Nevertheless, your professional and sensitive manner made the process flow, always being available for that encouragement we needed , following through with answers and solutions to problems that arose.

You handled it all with such ease. We can’t Thank You enough.

Would we recommend you to our family and friends? In a heartbeat and with great pleasure.

Keep up the great work!"

"To Whom It May Concern,

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jamie Barber and Network Real Estate in connection with the Purchase of my home in Grass Valley. I found Jamie to be a very resourceful and reliable Agent.

I highly recommend Jamie to anyone contemplating buying or selling a property in this area."

"To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to express my pleasure with real estate agent Jamie Barber, who represented me in the recent sale of my single-family home.

Jamie guided me through the entire process, from helping me get ready to list all the way through the close. He provided ongoing assistance and follow up. Jamie helped to make this a smooth, stress-free experience.

Living remotely, I was expecting this to be a challenge. But, Jamie’s personable nature and knowledge of the market and process made this a pleasurable experience. I am very grateful for his assistance.

To reiterate, I was pleased with Jamie and his expertise and would recommend him to anyone."

"After retiring from the military my Wife and I started our journey to our first home as most first time buyers. Disregarding the numerous warnings and suggestions of loved ones and heading out over confident, under educated and blinded by the allure of owning our first home we hit the market running. Without warning we quickly realized how unequipped and unprepared we were for the journey. Within the first three months we had gone through three different agents after one “no longer had time to help us” and two simply stopped returning our phone calls when were unable to find a suitable house with in several weeks.

Beyond frustrated Jamie found us right before complications with our VA loan forced to place our search on hold. Despite knowing that we were not actively searching Jamie remained in contact and offer assistance at every opportunity to help get us back on track. Jamie was upfront, honest, informative and above all patient as we combed our way through the complex VA loan process. When we were in the position to resume our search we were able to do so armed with knowledge, understanding and most importantly a great real estate agent working on our behalf. When my family found our home, the journey that started as a complete nightmare ended as it should be for every family, as a dream come true thanks to Jamie.

Thank You Jamie!"
