| Client Testimonials |
Thank you so much for finding my
family our dream home in Scottsdale. You made us feel welcome, like friends
instead of clients. Your attention to detail and consideration of our needs made
the move easier for the whole family. I particularly appreciate that you were
always accessible and promptly returned phone calls

In early April 2002, after touring Don Mathesons web site,
www.azgolfhomes.com, my wife and I conducted a telephone interview with Don from
our home. Our intent was to explore moving to Phoenix from Santa Rosa, CA in
mid-June, 2002. We presented Don with our home criteria and planned to meet with
him in mid-April.
My wife and I arrived in Phoenix and began exploring
homes in the Northeast Scottsdale area. Don and Jenny had selected and previewed
approximately one dozen homes. Every home, without exception, met our rigid
criteria.
Our original focus was on golf course property, but because of
Dons extensive knowledge of the area, we eventually concentrated on homes in
the best school districts for our young daughter. Near the middle of our second
day we finally selected a home in Ventana Foothills. With Dons creativity, we
signed the final purchase documents during the drive home at the Kingman, AZ,
RE/MAX office.
We could not have been more pleased. Don and his staff
were the most talented and professional real estate agents we had ever dealt
with. The homes that were selected for our viewing met our criteria exactly and
Dons area expertise focused us on the best location.
Finally, Dons
relocation package made the move-in transition relatively painless. Don and his
staff made an extraordinary effort to coordinate all aspects of our home
purchase; from financing to painting the garage floor.
We could not be
more pleased with our experience with Don and his staff. Without hesitation, we
will be recommending Don and Jenny to all that we meet.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Don Matheson
and his team in purchasing our new home in Scottsdale, AZ. Don is a consummate
professional as a Realtor, and he met all of our expectations while working with
us as a Buyers Agent. His knowledge of the market, ability to understand and
focus on our priorities and desires, and tenacious commitment to satisfy them
made the experience a successful and very enjoyable one. As clients who were as
interested in the golf courses and country clubs as we were in the real estate
during our search, his thorough knowledge of the golfing community in the area
was extremely valuable.
We have owned 8 houses in 5 states during our 32
years of marriage and have of course worked with a variety of real estate agents
in the process. Don is by far the most dedicated, capable and professional agent
that we have ever known, and in addition, he makes the process fun. Based on our
successful real estate experience, we look forward to enjoying a relationship
with Don and Jenny as good friends for many years to come.
We would
strongly recommend Don and his team without hesitation to anyone interested in
real estate in the Phoenix, AZ area.

Just a quick note to let you know how
pleased we have been with Don Matheson. From the time I discovered Don on the
Internet while looking for information about my husbands new assignment in
Phoenix, until the closing which happened quicker and more smoothly than any I
can remember, Don and his team of professionals always kept us informed and
prepared for our move.
We have moved 11 times while negotiating the
corporate ladder, even outside of the United States, and have worked out what we
want and need in a home and a community. We simply expressed this information to
Don and had an offer in on a home in two days. The pleasant surprise occurred
when Don went to work negotiating a price for our home he got us far enough
ahead that my husband is able to join the local golf club and pay cart fees for
a year!
To be perfectly honest, the area we selected was quite a jog for
Don and Elizabeth to let us in for measuring and picture-taking, however, they
never hesitated to be there when we needed them. I found it particularly
comforting to know that Dee was in the office following up on every little
detail I would mention to her. When I told Dee, I knew I could mark it off MY
list.
Thank you for having the insight to keep Don on your
team!

We have been very fortunate
to have owned many homes in our adult life. The experiences buying the homes
wasnt always pleasant because the realtor didnt always coordinate the
transaction smoothly.
That wasnt the case recently when we purchased our
home at Gainey Ranch. We were lucky to have seen Don Mathesons web site,
www.azgolfhomes.com, in one of the golf publications we read. We found Don to be
very knowledgeable about the local market, and his insight was invaluable when
it came to golf course properties. Don did not waste our time on properties that
didnt meet our needs. He was very professional in every way in making our home
buying experience a very pleasant experience indeed. We just love our new home.
We now consider Don and his wife Jenny as friends and wouldnt hesitate
to recommend anyone to them for their real estate needs. They are the brightest
and best RE/MAX has to offer and you couldnt go wrong with their
team.

This is just a quick note to tell you
how happy I am with the service I have received from Don Matheson and his team.
Having been their first customer when they started their business in Arizona
back in 1995, I knew they were the right choice when it came time for me to move
again. Don and Jenny recently represented me in both the sale of my home and the
purchase of a new home, and they performed wonderfully.
As you know, the
buying and selling of ones home is a very stressful event, and there is a
myriad of details to be handled on both sides of the transaction. Not only am I
very happy with the price for which I sold my home, but also with the price I
paid for my new one. In addition, once the transactions were initiated, Dee
Oberhaus did a great job of managing all the details for closure, and keeping me
informed regarding time lines and commitment dates.
In closing, Id like
to recognize Don, Jenny, Dee and any other team members that contributed to
making my experience with RE/MAX Excalibur such a joy. I will be happy to serve
as a reference if you so desire.

I would like to
express my sincere appreciation and pleasure to have dealt with Mr. Don
Matheson, a real estate agent within your organization.
I met Don off his
internet web site when I was relocating to Scottsdale, Arizona, from Toronto,
Canada. This was the first time I had even considered moving away from Toronto
and family, and was quite anxious, confused, and skeptical. In order to
facilitate the move, Don not only worked diligently and professionally to help
me purchase a home in McDowell Mountain Ranch, but also went out of his way to
introduce and immerse myself and my wife to Scottsdale and all Scottsdale had to
offer.
I was very impressed at the ability to get in touch with Don when
I needed to, and was also impressed at the timely manner in which he provided
feedback, comments, and additional information when required. I value Dons
honesty and sincerity and have grown to trust Don and his opinions in all my
real-estate matters.
In response to difficult times, I was forced to
sell the original home I purchased. During this time, Don did an excellent job
of marketing my home and providing emotional support when needed. Don was very
good at listening to our needs and desires, took direction well, and was
courteous and effective at correcting any misguided information and direction we
headed in. Dons initial market assessment, list price, and trend analysis was
accurate the first time. His excellent marketing strategy and negotiation skills
are apparent in the short time the house stayed on the market, and the sale of
the house above list price.
I have heard similar praises from other
friends and associates who have dealt with Don, and wont hesitate to recommend
Don for anyones real estate needs. I will certainly go back to Don when I am
ready to purchase my next home.

We are
writing this letter to express our satisfaction in the service and knowledge
portrayed by Don Matheson of RE/MAX Excalibur Realty. As we have moved six times
in a twelve-year span, we are able to recognize what a realtor is able to do and
the efficiency in which he or she gets it done. We had never had the
opportunity, however, to work with a buyers agent previously. Having worked
with Don, we realize that is certainly to a buyers advantage. Don displayed his
willingness to listen and make sure we were looking at homes which fit our
lifestyle. He had previewed many homes fitting the general features desired, but
then showed us only the ones selected for the best value. This saved us an
enormous amount of time. His ability to negotiate for the buyer was certainly
evident when it came down to the final offer. In addition, his staff and the
other professionals associated with the company were first class. We will
continue to recommend Don and his staff to those we meet who are interested in
acquiring a home.

For as long as my
wife and I can remember, it has been a dream of ours to one day call Scottsdale,
Arizona our home. Three months ago, that opportunity became a reality when I
chose to accept an early retirement. Having relocated twelve times in my
professional career, we were familiar with the research necessary to make the
home purchase decision. For us, it began with an Internet search of communities,
homebuilders and real estate companies located within our target area. I was
particularly interested in finding a real estate professional knowledgeable
about golf communities and other recreational amenities associated with active
living.
Although I had several recommendations for real estate
professionals to contact, I was impressed by Mr. Don Mathesons web site and
decided to email him a request for information. The next day, he called me to
offer his assistance. His courtesy, sincerity and knowledge of the marketplace
were immediately evident. I knew I had made a wise decision to use Mr. Matheson
at our first meeting when he patiently took the time to help me successfully
locate temporary housing.
When it came time to find our dream house, Mr.
Matheson was extremely well prepared and organized. His professionalism,
involvement in details and guidance made a normally arduous decision easy to
make. Last week, with his help, we entered an agreement to build a home at
Legend Trail. The house is everything we wanted and it is an outstanding
location. Mr. Mathesons dedication and expert counsel exceeded our expectations
and was instrumental in our ultimate decision to purchase our dream home. We
appreciate his professional approach and all of the service provided by RE/MAX
Excalibur.
Thank you and please accept our best wishes for continued
success.
