Sandy Bastear
Dear Potential Client of Sandy Bastear,
The story I would like to share with you is 100% true and I share it because it is my desire to assist you in making the decision to utilize Sandy's skills and talents for your real estate needs. Last spring my husband and I found ourselves in the Sacramento area as he was interviewing for a job. He had not been job seeking and so I had not done any research on the area whatsoever; we generally are fairly knowledgeable about real estate in California. After the interviews were completed and we were feeling more interested in the possibility of relocating our family, we asked someone to direct to us an area with trees so that we could explore. This person sent us to Folsom, so armed with a simple map and a little time we set out to have a look around. After driving through some neighborhoods we realized that we were coming up with more questions than answers. There was a lot we wanted to know but figured we would have to wait until we got back home or came back, then while driving down a residential block we saw a woman putting some real estate signs in her vehicle and I asked my husband to pull over. I asked this woman if she could give me a range of prices or general estimate of values on the block. This woman was Sandy Bastear and after a few minute chat she invited us into her home, gave us refreshment and pulled several listings off her computer. I thought that was amazing, but it was not all, she insisted on driving us to see them spending several hours with us (complete strangers) in the middle of a Saturday.
Sandy answered each of our questions and showed us parks, schools, Folsom Lake and prison; we even stopped at the local Starbucks. It was immediately clear to us that this is a woman
who loves her community and who invests in people. Sandy began to get to know our family on that day, to understand our potential needs, and when we got back home she remained ever available
and consistent in offering information, sending listings, and lending an ear. One of the most remarkable aspects of Sandy is her work ethic, every single property that my husband and I were
interested in, she had already seen, or if she had not she went within 24 hours to see it and take pictures of it to send. She never just relied on the mls information, she understood what we
wanted and she could tell us if it was worth pursuing or not. So much so that the home that we eventually bought, she had sent us pictures of stating that we would love it, we could not see
that from the pictures and almost overlooked it. When we saw it in person, we were sold. Sandy assisted us all of the time in every way throughout the purchase of our home. She is a competent
and ethical agent who is set apart from others because of the investment and commitment to her clients. When the sale was finalized, I was completely satisfied and yet just like the day we met
her, Sandy completely blew us away. Our home was arranged to be cleaned the day before we moved in, the day we drove into town I called Sandy to meet her at the house to get the keys only to
discover that she had been at the house all day cleaning it herself . Turns out, the house did not meet her satisfaction and she knew that after a long drive with our three children
we were not going to be able to do it ourselves. She knew I needed a clean house. Sandy could have called a service but she didn't. Sandy is not afraid to get her hands dirty, when there is
work to be done she drops everything and gets to it, and she does it because she cares for the people she works with. It is our belief that we were led to Sandy, she is remarkable and now that
she is no longer our real estate agent, I am proud to call her Friend.
Good luck to you,
Cynthia and Karl Zierhut
