Anita Singh Cardoso

February 19, 201 To Whom it may concern: After living in the same house for 35 years, raising our children there and loving it thoroughly, we decided to sell and move to San Diego to be with our children and grandchildren. This occurred in one of the biggest down real estate markets in the last 40 years. After interviewing a number of real estate agents, we chose Anita Singh Cardoso and Leo Jacobs. I will admit up front that I had an “attitude”...cynical, at best, about real estate agents. Anita and Leo won me over. They were flat out terrific. There were diligent and attentive. They understood our needs. They offered salient suggestions about preparing the house for market. They were active in the marketing process with open houses. Leo’s “lunch for the realtors” was a huge success. They were honest and upfront with the counsel. They plainly just worked hard. They make an outstanding team. I ended the process not only respecting their professional abilities, but also considering them my friends. I recommend Anita and Leo with my highest recommendation, without the slightest reservation, and know that you will be well taken care of by this professional, yet personal team. Sincerely yours, Harold Vick, MD

Anita & Leo, You are not only great real estate agents, but truly warm and interesting people as well. You managed somehow to take a list from Joe of "mountain views" and " close to hiking" and a list from me of "walkable to downtown" and "historic or unique property" and somehow find our perfect new home! It has truly been a pleasure getting to know you and other new friends you've brought into our acquaintance. If it would ever help to have us used as a reference, please feel free... Hugs, Nancy

Leo and Anita have been invaluable business resources to us, and more importantly, great friends. We began working with them approximately 5yrs ago. Leo and Anita had a great eye for the market and picked out a cozy tri-level home for us in Beaverton. This was our first home in Oregon, and we love it dearly. Since then, we’ve purchased two other homes with their help. In addition, other relatives of ours purchased two homes in the Hillsboro area with their help. We all appreciate their experience, honesty, and professionalism in the Real Estate business, and we look forward to continued business with them in the near future.

I met Anita in 1983 when my parents sold their house to move down to California. A year later in the heart of one of the worst recessions Anita helped my room mate sell his house. 20 plus years later and Anita has continued to show her professionalism and ability to connect the right buyer with the right seller in a manner that every one is positive about the experience. At a recent gathering at our home of some 30 friends the conversation came up in regards to where we all used to live and that moment we realized Anita was successfully involved in each of our home transactions. Thank you Anita, for putting your heart into our homes.

We met Anita and Leo when they were the sellers’ agents on a house we purchased when moving to Portland. They so impressed us throughout that transaction, with us as buyers, we turned to them when it came time for us to sell the same home. They had worked very hard for us as the buyers the first time around, and from that experience we thought they would be the best choice. We found them to be impeccably professional, extremely honest and forthright, none of which surprised us based on our prior experience with them. Anita worked very hard to price our home properly. She did such a great job that our house sold in two days with a full price offer, followed closely by a second full price back up offer! We clearly did make the best choice in them, and would recommend them most highly and without any reservation. Since we moved out of Oregon, the only regret we had was that they were not able to help us find our next house!

"From the minute we met Anita and Leo we knew it was going to be a great fit. No-nonsense, down to business, honest, professional and not afraid of "good old fashioned hard work". Not only were we apprehensive about the current market conditions, we also wanted our house to "show" in the best possible way. Leo was kind enough to help out in that area. He came in and within 20 minutes, he had staged our house beautifully. We received positive comments from the first s howing to the last. Thanks to Anita and Leo's hard work and professional expertise, our house sold in one week. Without question, we recommend Anita and Leo. They are a fabulous team!

"We got to know Anita through a friend and we were very happy that she represented us. We got full price offer within a week and sold the house in about 3 weeks! Anita has a good network in the industry and is very much in tune with the real estate markets. With her multiple years of realtor experience and thorough market analysis tailored for us, she recommended a reasonable and competitive price and an agile marking plan. She provided a detailed list of homework for us to do and also a good network of handymen who helped us greatly. We were impressed by her professionalism. She was helpful and available for questions, discussions, and coordination throughout the whole process. She is organized, articulate, paying attention to details, honest, and fun to work with.

"We were referred to Anita by a family friend. To our pleasant surprise, Anita sold our home in 31 days in one of the toughest real estate market in years. I was amazed by the amount of effort she put to get our house sold. She was always in communication with us giving us updates about visits, market conditions and thoroughly followed up with every single visitor we had. We were at ease with matter in her hand, and she was one step ahead as far as marketing, negotiating and making the sale happen. If we were to sell or buy another house we don't have to search for another agent, it will be Anita (if she is still working!). We are extremely pleased with the way she handled everything. With Anita and Leo, you get real Realtors working for you not just a sign post.

"We want to thank you for the great service you provided us in selling our home for us. This was the second house you have sold for us and we are glad we came back. It is hard to choose which part of your service was most valuable to us because you're contribution was outstanding in so many ways. To begin, there was you're thorough market analysis for our home and thoughtful recommendation of the listing price. Your advice on staging the house meant we didn't need to hire anyone else to do it. After the house was listed, you both worked hard to promote the property. I remember the first week, there were two showings a day, and there were always at least two showings a week. This was fabulous in a depressed market! "After we moved out, you helped to make sure the house was clean and presentable. I really appreciate how much time you spent at the house cleaning the deck, etc. And then when we entered negotiations for the sale, your encouragement helped us to get our full asking price, after just six weeks on the market. "This result was well beyond our hopes and expectations. You both did an outstanding job making this experience remarkable."
