WHAT MY CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MY SERVICES:

When we started looking for a real estate agent to sell our house, our main criteria was a strong marketing program. Greg Malik was chosen for this reason. After a careful pricing analysis from Greg, we listed our house and quickly found that our choice of agent had been correct.

Five days after listing the house, we accepted an offer for our asking price.

Greg's professional team guided us through escrow for a smooth closing 30 days later. We strongly recommend Greg to any seller who wants a professional team and a strong marketing program.

Re: Sale of Property at 1210 San Ramon Road

Dear Greg,

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to you , Caroline Benjamin and Kirsten Englund for the outstanding effort each of you put forth in the successful and timely sale of my house. The assistance each of you offered in the preparation of my house, in the marketing of my house and in the closing of escrow made the sale an enjoyable and relatively stress free effort. Thank You!

Sincerely,
Henry H. Zinn

Thanks so much for helping with the sale of our house.  Your video presentation of our house was way above what is offered by the rest of the real estate market and was instrumental in the sale of our house.  The buyers were from out of our area and their initial viewing of our house was through your video presentation.  They were so impressed they drove to Atascadero specifically to view our house returning to their home the very next day for a prior committment.  Almost a 500 mile round trip just to view a house they saw only via your video presentation.

 

The rest of your office team was also very helpful throughout the escrow process.

 

Thanks again.  We are very grateful!

We asked friends and family who the best listing agent in the area was and they told us Greg Malik.

There were several things that attracted us to Greg. One was his Marketing strategy, which we were very impressed with. We liked his 24-Hour Talking House. We went on the Internet and looked at visual tours and his far surpassed any others that we saw.

Another reason would be Greg's negotiation skills, they are incredible.

He is definitely the best listing agent in the county and is honest and honorable.

But, we must say the most impressive thing that Greg did was to prepare us for our part in the sale of our home. By taking his sound advice we packed up several things ahead of time that not only made our home show better, but also took the burden off of us when it did sell. We had a large portion already boxed and ready to move.

Thank you,

Kraig & Carol Kennedy 780 Cobble Creek

To whom it may concern,

Our names are Jack and Jeanine Phelan and we just sold our home at 7500 Balboa Road. We wanted to share with you our experience with our Realtor, Greg Malik. Prior to listing our home with Greg, we had been listed for over three years with another Realtor with no success. We decided to go with Greg Malik because we were very impressed with the high caliber marketing and professionalism of Greg, his team, and the number of homes recently sold in our area.

We are extremely pleased with the service from start to finish that we have received from Greg. When he initially took our listing, he gave us a detailed written plan for the marketing of our home. He even gave us a written guarantee stating that if he didn't live up to his end of the bargain, we could cancel the listing at any time. Needless to say, Greg fulfilled all of his promises. We were delighted with the full color flyers and promotional materials that Greg quickly prepared and had distributed. He also did a great job of advertising our property. One of the greatest marketing tools that he utilized was a devise call a Talking House. This Talking House is a radio transmitter that Greg programmed and installed in our home that gave people who were driving by our home a complete narrative about our property 24 hours a day! We also appreciated the fact that Greg had our property marketed through the Internet. You can view his personal site at www.gregmalik.com.

Knowing that we wanted to move in a hurry, Greg even offered $1,000.00 of his own commission as a bonus and extra incentive to any other agent who brought in an acceptable offer.

We don't know if you will be selling your home soon. But, if you are planning to sell in the near future, you should definitely talk to Greg Malik and find out how he can market your property with impact. You can call him at (805) 466-2540. By the way, Greg was great about returning our calls and keeping in touch.

Wishing you the best,
Jack and Jeanine Phelan

When we decided to sell our home we asked our neighbors whom they would recommend.

The Holways and the Lousens who lived on our street highly recommended Greg. They were very impressed with his professionalism and how quickly he sold their homes.

We interviewed Greg and found him to be extremely professional and helpful. He answered all our questions. Greg not only sold our home quickly, he had it sold on the very 1st day and for more than full price.

If you aren't sure whom you should hire to list your home just ask the neighbors on our street!

Thank you!

I used to publish a real estate magazine and I'm used to dealing with Realtors. After being in the business for as many years as I have you get to know a lot about the Real Estate business and the people in it. I know approximately 400 to 500 agents in the North County. We picked Greg to sell our home because of his marketing and because I knew what a hard worker he is.
Greg's marketing plan is second to none. It does what all marketing plans should do; it gets qualified buyers out to see your home.
Greg succeeded where others failed before him. In just over 6 weeks Greg sold our home @ 99% of the Listing Price with a super smooth escrow that closed on time!
We were very happy with all aspects of the sale of our home. We have never had anyone work harder than you did.
We have only one thing to say, 'Call Greg, he'll get your home sold, quickly and without problems'!

Sincerely,
Bob and Jan Hayden

Greg Malik has helped me buy and sell four separate houses in the past 2-¿ years. I had lived in one house for over 20 years and was pretty nervous about the prospect of selling it and purchasing another. My comfort level was met just knowing that Greg has lived locally for over fifteen years, our kids were in school together and he has become a respected member of the professional community of Atascadero. During each transaction, Greg gave practical, logical and accurate advice and he let me know exactly what to expect during each step. I was very pleased with the variety of marketing techniques he utilized to sell my two houses (MLS, flyers, 'talking house' and newspaper ads) and the help he provided in finding the two I have purchased. He has been a very positive, proactive, professional real estate consultant for me.
Hopefully I won't be moving again for a long time, but when I do, I will definitely call on Greg Malik to help me once again!

Sincerely,
Anne Davies

Greg Malik is not a salesman. His business card says that he is a 'Certified Residential Specialist.' What is that . . . that is a person who is dedicated to the proper use of current technology; i.e., the internet, 'talking' ads, telephone recordings about homes and last, but not least, the use of photographic ads either in the form of flyers or newspaper advertisements.
Greg is a true believer in the use of all of these mediums. But, he is also a specialist in keeping his clients informed and in touch during the listing period. He would not hesitate to telephone us to ask how we felt the listing was doing; did we have any questions; was there anything that he could do to help us in any way. He was always just a telephone call away should we have any questions or concerns about the sale of our home.
We sincerely appreciate all of the time and work during the last few months that Greg has spent on the sale of our home. He is dedicated to the customer's satisfaction. We most heartily recommend the services of his professional team and especially, Greg Malik.

After trying unsuccessfully for over 18 months to sell our home, we were totally discouraged. But, not wanting to give up on our dreams, we decided to try one more time and listed with Greg Malik. We were delighted with the extensive marketing and promotion that Greg provided, and we were almost overwhelmed with potential buyers. The marketing and his hard work resulted in a sale. We would recommend Greg to anyone looking for a professional Realtor. Thank you Greg!

Dear Greg,

I would like to thank you for the results as we discussed. Let me review the process of selling grandma's house. She is 90 years old and has recently moved from her home of 30 plus years in Atascadero to our home in Southern California.

We received a brochure from the Greg Malik Real Estate Group, at that time grandma was considering selling her home. However, since she was in Southern California, and not in any condition to return to Atascadero to find a realtor, or able to sufficiently conduct business by phone, the task came to me.

I was extremely skeptical, and concerned about the selection of a realtor, for I was aware that a wrong choice could cost grandma thousands of dollars and force her into a convalescent home because she did not have the necessary $4,000 per month for 24 hour care.

I called you, and during the initial discussion I reviewed all the considerations.

1. The house be realistically appraised, and priced.
2. A quick sale (3-6 months) was necessary, yet a fair price must be obtained, this is the money she would need for her 24-hour care. A short escrow was desirable.
3. The realtor must do the work and stay on top of all of the issues.

I had originally scheduled an appointment with you and another realtor during my visit to Atascadero. While we talked, your professional manner, sincerity, and preparation for my visit impressed me to where I cancelled the other interview.

The next morning, we toured the area to look at comparable homes (your homework reduced my time), and then priced grandma's home. The listing price was frankly, $5,000 more than we had anticipated.

Although you did not make promises on final selling price or time frame, you clearly understood the parameters.

Results: 45 days from when we sent the singed listing agreement, the home was sold for a fair price and grandma had the check. I realized closing could have been one week earlier, but I needed time to move grandma.

You not only met, but exceeded our expectations. The second key component was keeping us informed every step of the way, from listing, to the sale, to closing and picking up the final check. Grandma and the entire family appreciate the results.

Please feel free to use me as a reference at any time. I may be called to confirm your professional character and the results you produce.

Sincerely,
Thomas V. Jolicoeur
