I live about 500 miles away and needed to sell a house in Kalamazoo that was part of an estate. I came to Jared Arnold after a listing agreement with another broker expired with no offers. Of course Jared provided the standard analysis of comparable properties. However, even more important, he helped me better understand the analysis of comparable properties. How ever, even more important, he helped me better understand the market for particular property, for example, the characteristics of the most likely buyers and how the probably would be evaluating the property.

Based on the analysis, I decided to have additional redecorating work done. Jared and his business partner, DeAnna Phillips, managed the work including providing design tips based on the current market. The redecorating took about four weeks. I had am acceptable offer within two weeks of putting the property on Multiple Listing Service and had closed the deal within six weeks.

Throughout the process, Jared or DeAnna were in frequent phone and E-mail contact.

Working with DeAnna Phillips on both the sale of our home and the purchase of a new one was a very positive experience. We like to stay informed on progress, changes, etc., and DeAnna did a great job of staying in close contact with us. Trying to sell property in a saturated market was frustrating, but DeAnna always responded patiently to our concerns and was thorough in answering our questions. She continually looked for ways to make our property attractive to buye.0rs and didn´t hesitate to contact other professionals for second opinions when she thought it prudent. DeAnna Phillips is knowledgeable, dependable, honest, and professional! Her services are first-rate!

The Arnold team showed us houses for nearly two years. If I liked a house, my wife didn't. If she liked a house, I didn't. DeAnna never once (to our knowledge) gave up on us and persevered until we found a house we both could live with. Once we found the house, the whole process went very smoothly."

It has been a pleasure working with DeAnna and Jared with the sales of our homes. Since we build and sell homes, DeAnna and Jared have worked with us several times over the last six years. They are both very professional and efficient in their services.

DeAnna worked very diligently for us in the purchase of our present home. She had sold our last house and we hadn't found anything to move into with only four weeks left before we had to close on our house. We thought we had found the house we wanted and the sale fell through and that same day DeAnna found another house for us to look at and we signed the deal that same night. DeAnna made it possible to close on both houses the same day. That made it possible to move out of one and into the other a one step process.

They did an excellent job on the internet presentation of our home for potential buyers to view. It doesn't matter if you have a $100,000.00 home or a $500,000.00 home, they are genuinely interested in you as their customer.

They are always available for any question or concern you might have. We couldn't have asked for a better team to serve our needs.

Jared was the most professional, prepared and patient realtor we have ever worked with. Very few people understand the home buying aspect from top to bottom like he does. His experience and service orientation are traits that can rarely be found. I would recommend him to anyone!!!

Jared provided us with a sound strategy for selling our home in a constrained market as well as a constrained time frame. The suggestions he made with respect to staging our home and the improvements he told us to make, we believe really helped us to achieve our goal of selling our home quickly. We sincerely appreciated his efforts.
