William Smith, Carmel Luxury Group

"Wow, Willam, a wonderfully written email, even poetic. What a great a writer you are. Yes, it has been a wonderful journey, and let me tell you we would have never gotten as much for this house if it wasn't for you. I had met with nearly 100 real estate agents, and you were one of the only ones to ask for a price that was well over $3,500,000.00 and the only one to see the value of leveraging that time of death appraisal we had of the house for over $4,000,000.00. With this approach you employed the "anchoring effect," making the price of $3,550,000.00 now seem cheap (and a bargain) compared with the appraised price of over $4,000,000.00 for the house. You're a marketing genius. Also, you're a saint for having put up with me; I can be challenging at times as you might have learned. And I look forward to working with that New Hampshire real estate agent that you set me up with.... and I hope you will stay in the background, maybe overlooking her shoulder every now and then. There will be more adventures ahead for us, I'm sure. Ciao for now," Antonio

"Looking forward to seeing you then and to again thank you, William, for the wonderful job in assisting me as Successor Trustee. Regards, Haig" HAIG A. HARRIS, JR. Trustee for 22 La Rancheria, Carmel Valley - Marian Mizelle Trust Scampini, Mortara & Harris San Francisco, California

Listed the $34,000,000 Adamo Ranch in Carmel CA with him, because William Smith helped us buy our vacation home in Camel. We have dealt with several good agents to buy or sell in the past, but from our experience, William tops them all. He knows the area very well and you can trust he will give you the best advice. Since we are out of town buyers, William managed the transaction and contractors step by step. He even sent us narrated video updates of the work in progress. He was always available to take our calls and responded immediately. William and his team made the purchase close right on schedule. We highly recommend him.?

I recently had the pleasure of William Smith; the Team Leader Broker for the Carmel Luxury Group at Coldwell Banker Realty in Carmel by the Seas, California broker the sale of my mother's house in Seaside California. The sale was accomplished remotely, with William providing the coordination across all the many items involved in a sale. He handily coordinated the inspections, maintenance, cleaning, and staging required to make the house sale ready. He also coordinated hiring the Title Company to handle the necessary deed validation, sale price and seller/buyer coordination to allow the sale to go through efficiently and without undue delay so that the property was able to complete escrow and the sale to be completed on time as agreed to by the seller and buyer. To say the least, William managed to make what could have been a very stressful and unpleasant experience a manageable and satisfying one. Should you need a competent, and very pleasant professional to sell your home or to assist you in buying one, then William Smith and his team is who you want in your corner

From the start, William Smith and his team were outstanding in their service. They were honest regarding market conditions and kept us informed at every step of the marketing process. William held regular meetings with us to discuss the sales plan. We were very impressed with the use of professional photographers and web pages to produce images to market the property. I have been a landlord and property owner for over 40 years. I once held a real estate license. I have never experienced or witnessed better service and commitment to the customer!
