More Testimonials from Happy Havasu Home Buyers

Hi Liz.
I understand that there are a lot of people out there who are apprehensive about buying a home on the internet. I thought if we shared our experience it might help. Living in Hawaii and looking for a home in Lake Havasu we knew we would need a real estate agent that we could trust and that we could work with long distance. After looking through Real Estate Magazines we had picked up on our last trip to Lake Havasu we looked at all the ads from the different Realtors and decided to "Just Call Liz". Best move we ever made. We sent an e-mail to Liz asking her to call and she did, within about 10 minutes! We spent a little time talking to her, telling her what we were looking for in a house and kicking around some ideas with her and she promised to get back to us with some homes to look at. By the next day she had found us four houses to look at and e-mailed us pictures and info on all of them. One of these was our perfect house at the perfect price and we made an offer.
Everything was handled by phone, fax and e-mails. There were a few glitches along the way, I think there always are when purchasing a home, but Liz handled everything for us and kept everything moving along smoothly. We went to Lake Havasu to sign the closing papers which wasn't really necessary but we were anxious to see our house and meet Liz in person.
I guess the best thing about dealing with Liz is that she listens to what you want and need, doesn't assume she knows better than you do and has been in the business long enough to know a lot of contractors, lenders, service people, etc. so is able to help with whatever you might need.
Internet shopping for a new home can be fun and a little scary. Working with the right Realtor can make all the difference. My advice to anyone contemplating an internet home purchase?
Just call Liz. Our first friend in Lake Havasu!

We just want to let you know how much we love our condo at Son Risa. We
go there as much as we can and have had our kids and grand-kids there
twice. We will be back for a week or so in October and November. We
can't wait. Thanks for helping us find exactly what we wanted. Hope to
see you in Lake Havasu sometime. |

Dear Liz,

Comments from our Canadian Friends

Dear Liz, Joyce and I just want to say thanks so much for making our buying experience at Lake Havasu a good one. You are welcome to share this with any of your clients as we feel it is to their advantage to be aware of the exceptional service you have provided. I'm sure that their are others buying their first home, "away from home" that you have made so easy to do. My wife and I have been looking for a winter home that was close to water and yet affordable. We have been to Las Vegas and Phoenix at different time and loved the climate but missed all the advantages that living by water has. Last December, we decided to rent a home at Lake Havasu to see what it was like. To summarize, we loved and started looking for a home of our own. Prior of our visit, we did some property searching on the internet and were fortunate to hook up with Liz. We told her what we wanted and she started sending us properties on a regular basis for our review. She answered any questions we had promptly and contrary to others we tried, returned calls in a timely and professional manner. Naturally, we chose her over several others upon our home search while we were there. I can't recall how many homes (many) we looked through with Liz who was so accommodating as was always willing to work around our holiday schedule. Being from Canada, we were not familiar with the construction, the utilities, the neighborhoods, the buying process, etc.... again Liz helped us through all of it. She showed us through any homes we wanted to see and not only gave the pros of a particular home, but was quick to point out the cons which we really appreciated. She has been in this market during good and bad times and is well connected. There wasn't one part of our paying process that she was not able to help out. This process included home inspectors, pool contruction companies, title transfer people (they don't use lawyers like we do here), house maids, window washers, weed and pest control people, house valets to check on her home periodically, restaurants, community functions to attend, and the list goes on and on. Her service did not stop after the sale. We had a couple of hiccups in the paperwork that occurred after the house had been purchased. We were back in Canada at this time and if it wasn't for Liz we would of had to make a trip back down to resolve. She took care of each item which was such a relief for us. It should be stated, that these items were such that they were not the responsibility of the Realtor to resolve. Our Canadian "Dollarette" was of course an issue of concern to us in making a home buying decision. Even so, in doing the calculation and taking into account the cost per square foot to build a new home, we considered in a good investment. It gave us exposure to the USD currency, and sure, it may take 1,2 or maybe 5 years for our current world wide economy to straighten out, but when it does our house will be a winner and we will be enjoying it the whole time. If our currency loses more ground to the USD, we can always sell our home, and bring back the advantage in Canadian dollars. In the Havasu market we saw very little downside. Thanks again Liz... without you it would have never happened. Now, not only do we have a great Realtor, but also a great friend!!!

Dear Liz: I cannot even begin to “Thank You” for all that you have done to make this move such an easy transition. You have gone way beyond what most realtors would ever have done to make sure everything was perfect for me. I will be recommending you to anyone that mentions that they are in need of help either buying or selling a property. From my initial call to you looking for some information about the housing market right up to the final walk through I Ifelt as though I was the only client that you had. I know that is not the case, but that is how you made me feel. Thank you again Liz for helping me with this move. Sincerely, Mary Lomberto |
| Liz was amazing! We found her by accident during one of our many times
of looking for homes on the Internet. She contacted us within minutes
of entering our information in to the web site. We were hesitant about
finding an agent this way, but we were extremely tired of spending hours
trying to find the perfect home while living in another state. The
other problem was my husband would not be available to help find or
purchase our new home. I flew to Havasu only two times. The first time
was just to look and get a feel for the area. Liz was right on target
with her home selections. The next trip the first house was the perfect
house! Sold! She helped me during the stress of the offer and counter
offers, she worked with our mortgage person, inspectors, appraisers and
all through the escrow process. She was always available. Thanks to
Liz our home is perfect and so was our experience. Gary & Mary Lou |

Dear Liz, |

Liz, you've been so easy to work with during our house shopping. Thank you, we are both happy and delighted with our new Havasu address.

It
all started with searching on the internet. We sent 3 or 4 requests for
information on properties in Lake Havasu. Guess who called us
first....of course it was Liz and are we ever glad. She was there for us
every step of the way, from giving us an assortment of properties to
view on line to showing us homes while we were in Lake Havasu. If we
wanted to return to a particular home a second time, no problem, a third
time, no problem. Liz genuinely wanted us to be pleased with the home
we chose. Liz was a real help with the buying process, through all the
phone calls, faxes, and emails she always showed us extreme patience. We
love our condo just a few blocks from the beach and look forward to
spending as much time in sunny Lake Havasu as we can.
We can't thank you enough for helping us with our first Lake Havasu home |
| I had the pleasure of working with Liz Miller while purchasing our home
in Lake Havasu City. She is simply the best I have worked with. Her
attention to detail was phenomenal and something I really appreciated.
She always had a cheerful and pleasant demeanor, even when she should
have been gritting her teeth. She found out things about the various
properties we considered so we didn't end up in a bad situation. Even
our realtor in Colorado had heard about her professional,
customer-oriented service. I recommend you just call Liz if you ever need to buy or sell property in Lake Havasu City. Janet Adams |
| Liz Miller – A Phenomenal Realtor My wife, Nancy, and I wholeheartedly endorse Liz Miller as one of the finest Realtors available anywhere. Her competence, sense of ethics and fair play as well as her amazing dedication to stellar customer service go well beyond what one could expect of a very good Realtor. When she says, “Just Call Liz”, she means it. Byron and Nancy Walters Lake Havasu City, AZ |
| Reprint from Today’s New Herald, Orchids & Onions Orchids to Liz at Keller Williams for being so helpful with yet another home purchase. Knowledgeable, professional, and fun, too. Thanks Again, Lee and Sherrie |

Thanks so much for all your
help over the past few weeks & two condos later! We love our first
condo, and we're sure the second one will be enjoyed by all too. We
really appreciate all you've done and the services you have provided.
Your happy Canadian clients, Allan & Charlene Ritchie from Canada |
| I am writing this letter with regard to the wonderful service provided
to us when we were purchasing our home in Lake Havasu City. We kind of got thrown into Liz’ lap at the last moment when our original real estate agent had to go out of town, but Liz was very accommodating and helpful just the same. We did not purchase an expensive home, but Liz did an excellent job in going from house to house with us, making sure we found just the right house to suite our particular needs and price. She is so organized and professional, and yet has that personal touch so needed in this type of profession. We felt like she cared about us, even though we were strangers. Liz comes highly recommended in our book and we would certainly ask her to be our agent again, should the occasion arise. Sincerely, Jan and Dave Guianen |
| Our heartfelt thanks to Liz Miller for devoting so much time and effort
into helping us make our purchase of a beautiful condo in Lake Havasu
City. She did not pressure us and her sense of humor is a delight. What a
pleasure it’s been to have her help in buying the perfect condo for
us. We highly recommend Liz to new home buyers. Sincerely John and Diana Laninga from Canada |

We want to thank you and compliment you on the
professional manner in which you handled the transaction for our recent
purchase of the townhouse in the Sonrisa development. We are very happy
with our new winter home. Considering that we completed the purchase
without physically inspecting the property we feel you did a very good
job in making certain everything was ready for us when we arrived to
take possession. We also want to thank you for the nice git upon our
arrival. We would be happy to recommend you to any of your prospective
clients.
Don and Liz Wilson |
| Darryl and I lived in Montana and worked with Liz Miller for over a year
looking at homes that she would email to us. We flew down once to look
at homes and meet with Liz. Our trip was cut short due to a family
emergency and we flew home immediately. After meeting with us Liz had a
very good idea of our likes and dislikes. We can’t recommend Liz enough! We are so pleased with all that she did for us. She is very hard working, she is honest, she gives 120%, she checks things out for you, and she is very knowledgeable. When you have Liz Miller for your Realtor you are definitely in good hands. We love the home that she found for us, we bought it sight unseen, other than pictures sent via email. This is not something we would normally do, but, that’s how much faith we had in Liz, we couldn’t be happier here in Havasu. Darryl and Karen Scott |

Hi Liz,
I just wanted you to know how lucky I must be Of all the Realtor's in Lake Havasu I picked you and you are the best, you helped me get the loan, you were honest with me, and went out of your way to make sure I got the Pima house. You put up with my doubts and fears, you had answers for all my questions and made it easy for me to make the right decisions. I want to thank you again, and wish you a prosperous year in 2010 with your home sales. The young man from CA. Best Wishes, Robert Shumbres |
| Why we love Liz. In 2009 after travelling down the west coast of the U.S., across New Zealand, Through the Copper Canyon, and on to Texas we finally ended up in Lake Havasu City for a much needed rest. My husband was keen to buy a place in a Mesa RV park and settle down, but I loved the water, the small city atmosphere, and the absence of high pollution warnings of Lake Havasu. We spent a week in a RV park where you bought lots, only to be denied access to the financial statements and sense the dissatisfaction of the residents. We decided our money would be better spent buying a winter home. We got a realtor and started our search for our dream home. April came, and it was time to head home, but we were determined to return in the fall to continue our search. During the summer, we received a few new listings, but many repeat listings from our realtor. My husband watched the internet and happened to inquire about a property listed by Liz Miller. She not only responded to his questions, but started sending us appropriate listings. Over the course of the summer it became very apparent that Liz had more interest in our dream than our realtor had. My husband, being a very fair man, and having worked in commission sales his whole career was very reluctant to sever our relationship with our original realtor but couldn't deny that Liz was right for us. By the time we returned in October we had we had a list of 6 or 7 good prospects, all of which met our limited criteria. Liz suggested we drive around and view the homes and neighbourhoods, then arrange with her to see the ones of interest to us. We worked with Liz in earnest for the next 2 months narrowing our dream location to a community with a pool and clubhouse. Alas the homes available were not right for us, but Liz continued to search like a bloodhound and finally found the prize. A prior short sale fell through so we made an offer Only one small hitch, it was a short sale. Liz was careful to explain to us all of the implications of a short sale, and the best approach to ensure success, then the wait began. Liz kept us posted regarding the banks inaction, while continuing to add potential properties of interest. After our home inspection Liz provided great advice regarding changes to our offer considering deficiencies. At last the long awaited call that the bank was considering our offer, then fruition of our dream our offer was accepted. At last we own the house we love, and our dependence of Liz goes on with constant questions regarding referrals for tradesmen, We gladly refer Liz to our friends, and love sharing our story with the happy ending. Now you know why we love Liz. Carla And Raymond Peppler Alberta, Canada |

Liz:
Just a short note to thank you for the wonderful experience we had with you finding our ''Havasu'' home. |
| We bought a house in Lake Havasu in the last days of December 2009 with
Liz as our agent. As Canadians, we needed a crash course in the
dynamics of foreclosures, short sales, Arizona real estate and many
other terms that were unfamiliar to us. From the start, Liz was
extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She is also very well connected
and if she didn’t know the answer, she was quick to pick up the phone
and get the information. The foreclosure world of Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac was foreign to us and works in mysterious ways. Liz helped
us negotiate through all of that and was able to finally get us a price
that was fair. She steered us away from areas and properties that were
less desirable and was always efficient and fun to deal with. We were
back in Canada when the deal was struck and had only three banking days
in Canada that last week of December! It was a rush, to say the least,
with lots of phone calls, couriers etc. We never would have been able
to pull it off without Liz there to coordinate it all. Our friends in
Lake Havasu (other snowbirds) have orchestrated the cleaning, painting,
tiling and laying of carpet for us and we look forward to seeing it all
shortly. Again, Liz came through with names of reputable people to do
all these jobs and our friends were very impressed with all of them.
So…. JUST CALL LIZ! Janet and Jay Harris Banff, Alberta, Canada |
| Liz, Brenda and I are so happy for your assistance with the purchase of our new home even though it was a nightmare to close. This is the short condensed version of the story for Liz to share with people that are thinking of going with Liz (I RECOMMEND HER!!!) So many other things have happened but here are a few highlights… When I say it was a nightmare Liz and I both know that it had nothing to do with her end of the deal. Brenda and I were moving to Lake Havasu from Salt Lake City. We were looking to get into our new home while starting up our new business. While I was looking to find the realtor that was right for us I called Liz based off internet reviews. Before meeting me, she was happy to spend an hour of the phone with me talking about the culture of the town and things to do. Then on a few other occasions she spent a similar amount of time so that we would be comfortable working with her. (That is AMAZING since most realtors I have worked with in the past are very focused on just getting things sold.) I am one that checks around before working with someone and Liz was the only one who answered my calls quickly, gave me accurate information, and had no problem with going over the details with me so that I was comfortable… In just two visits, we were able to narrow down to our new home. By the way she wanted to show us the home we ended up with on our first visit but we said no to visiting it… Crazy Utah Folk… I am sure the process of figuring out exactly what we wanted was a bear for Liz but it was nothing but smiles and more showings to help us decide on what was right for us. The mile long list of requirements did not seem to scare her and unlike other agents, who just say no that is not what you want and then take us to something else, she said we would just have to look for the right house. So we end up finding the right house and make an offer. It was our fist foreclosure purchase but obviously not hers. She was right there to tell us the things we wanted to avoid and details we never would have thought of before making our selection. I cannot believe Liz even went out of her way to get engineering reports because a home we were considering may have had structural defects (aka major expense to repair) so that we could make an informed decision (yes that is right we decided to avoid that home). So we think all of the work is done and rent out our home, ship our belongings, and get a hotel room for an anticipated stay of 1 – 2 weeks while we have some repairs done to the home. Liz let several contractors into the home so that we could have competitive bids and was happy to do it on the weekends as well (WOW!!!). Once we arrive and get close to the closing date we find out my lender (who will remain nameless) starts to have all kinds of problems with our file. It gets down to the day we should have closed and we are nowhere near ready to close. Liz was able to negotiate with the bank to give us an extension, provide advice on how to ask for the extension, and give us a kind ear as we were a bit stressed (everything in storage and living out of a hotel). So we have an extension now and are getting closer to the NEW closing date and how is the lender doing… Well the file did not seem to move. Liz should have a set of boxing gloves on the wall because she was really able to go to the mat for us and get the ball rolling. We finally closed with 2 days to spare. So after all is said and done Liz provided us a wonderful personalized house-warming gift and we were able to get into our new home. Within two weeks the water heater dumped out on us and Liz was right there (almost getting a pipe wrench in hand to assist) with the home warranty information. She was quick to make sure we were able to get it taken care of (AFTER WE CLOSED MIND YOU). Then a week after that we received a text message asking how things were going, and a month later a phone call to make sure we were happy. I am not sure what I can say other than this was the best realtor experience I have ever had in my life and this is probably the 5th property we have purchased over the years… I would defiantly use her services again for my next home purchase, recommend her to anyone, and so on… One more thing if you go with Liz make sure to take her advice on mortgage lenders and you may avoid some of the problems we had. (use a local lender) Liz thank you so much for all you have done for our family. We truly appreciate the personalized service you provided to us. If there is anything we can ever do for you please do not hesitate to give us a buzz and we will happily help you out! THANKS! Jeff and Brenda, Lake Havasu City, AZ |

Being from Canada, we contacted Liz online and received an immediate
response to our inquiry. She sent us several listings that were a close
match to what we were looking for including within our price range. We
emailed back and forth several times and we became very comfortable
dealing with her on a professional and personal level. We allowed
ourselves 3 days to find a house. Liz set up 6 houses that she felt were
compatible with what we were looking for.We made an offer and she
worked very hard to ensure we got the house we wanted . We actually had a
mini vacation with time to spare thanks to her hard work. We would
definitely use Liz again "Just Call Liz" and would highly recommend her
to anyone wanting to purchase or sell. We closed the deal with her help
from their escrow company and home inspector and are extremely happy
with our new purchase.

| Hi Liz We just wanted to thank you. Our buying experience with you as our Realtor was wonderful. Your professionalism and attention to detail is appreciated. What we liked was your honesty and integrity evidenced by you helping us discover details about certain properties that were not a good fit for us, and keeping us on track. You also kept it light with your humor and cheerful demeanor. Well done. Lou & Trish Carrillo |
| In the past 40 years we have purchased and sold over a dozen residences -
most of them being our primary residence and the remainder investment
properties. We have worked with many Realtors and none have been as professional, knowledgeable and friendly as Liz Miller. She provides outstanding service from beginning to end. Her business card should read real-estate attaché - not agent - as she is a true diplomat for both the real-estate profession and the community. Barb & Ray Carvajal |
| Liz is wonderful..... We are in the process of relocating to Lake Havasu City and needed to find a Realtor. Of course we relied heavily on the internet and the resources that it provides to narrow our search. We contacted Liz and were immediately impressed with her prompt response. Having no familiarity with Lake Havasu we took a quick trip to meet Liz and look at some neighborhoods and houses. Liz immediately put us at ease! I/we trusted her immediately! Liz surpassed all of our expectations during this entire process! We would choose Liz as our Realtor again, we will definitely refer other home buyers to her and in fact feel like we have a friend in Liz. "Just call Liz" - you won't be disappointed! Michael and Lisa Billetdeaux |

My Dear Miss Liz,
Love and hugs |
| Well Liz, You did it.. After 3 months of emailing and speaking long distance, and 1 week of hustling, you were able to complete our needs for a new home. It was a whirlwind, and a couple of bumps in the road, but you overcame them, and were able to find us our little piece of paradise, right where we wanted to be, in Lake Havasu . You definitely were on a mission, not to let us come back to the windy city, broken hearted, and without any property. You definitely worked hard, and met all our needs. Glad it worked out for us all, you are a great realtor!!! Thanks again, for all your effort. Sandy & Larry From the Windy City!!! |

Hi Liz,
|
| Liz, I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you did. I had complete trust in you the entire time. You were always available, honest and had great communication. I feel so blessed to have had you as my agent. You went over and above my expectations. Thank you for all your tips and for going out of your way to make it a pleasurable experience. I look forward to having you close by and calling you my neighbor. Kellene de Leon |
