Benzie County MI Homes for Sale

Testimonials


June, 2009

Doug did a great job for us!  Right from the beginning it felt like a good fit.  When we started the process of selling our home, we had no idea how to choose a realtor, especially one who would be right for us.  We researched and talked with several realtors, and after corresponding with Doug, we felt that we had finally found someone who truly listened and responded to our needs.   

Doug did a great job with providing ideas on showing our house, as well as pricing it right for the market.  Within 5 weeks we had received 2 offers, even during one of the worst housing markets ever.  Throughout the entire home selling process we felt guided and supported by Doug’s expertise and advice.  If we ever return to the Traverse City area, we will not hesitate to call Doug to help us find a new home.  We highly recommend him to anyone who wants a realtor with integrity and a broad knowledge base.
 

Sincerely, Bob and Kim Struthers

To whom it may concern,

I am honored to write a testimonial for Doug Taylor.  My wife and I recently purchased a house in Traverse City, Michigan, and Doug was the real estate agent who assisted us in the process.

By trade, my training in my business consulting practice impacts customer service.  So I am very sensitive to good business practices as well as bad ones, and I told Doug coming into our business relationship that I expected excellent service, communication, and follow-through.

Doug has exceeded my expectations in all areas, and he has been instrumental in assisting our transition from Texas to Michigan.  I highly recommend using Doug if you are looking for someone who cares about his customers and is knowledgeable in real estate matters.

I do not write testimonials very often, but it was a pleasure to write this, and you are fortunate if you engage the services of Doug Taylor.

Sincerely,

David Dameron, San Antonio, Texas

It is with pleasure that I am writing about my acquaintanceship with Doug Taylor. I first met Doug in November 2003 when I inquired about a property he had listed. He continued to work with me through May of 2004, at which time I purchased some land.

Doug has many outstanding qualities, but I feel that his major assets to me were twofold: 1) He has a easy going and winning personality which makes it easy to relate to him and not feel any high pressure to commit to a purchase: and 2) he has lived in the area for his entire like making him familiar with the area and the people in the area.

He seem to genuinely like people and tries to get to know them and know exactly what they might be looking for in a property purchase. He will continue to look and contact you when he thinks he has found something you might want.

As a Realtor, Doug has been more than helpful, going beyond his responsibilities as a sale representative for the property. Should you be so fortunate to have him working with you to locate a piece of property, you will not be disappointed.

    My husband, Gary and I closed on the sale of our home yeaterday after having our home on the market for 90 days. The reason our home turned so quickly needs to be credited to our sales agent Doug Taylor. From day one, Doug advised us as to the market value of our home, what needed to be done to present our home in the best light and once the "For Sale" sign went up our home was shown in excess of 20 times. We always felt Doug was working in our best interest and we are thrilled with the outcome of the sale. Doug was not only professional but a pleasure to work with. We will share our experience with all our friends who are considering selling their home. Sincerly, Gary and Roxanne Zack

    I'd like to bring to your attention the excellent job Doug Taylor did for me in helping me purchase a home in Lake Ann, Michigan, while I was located at my winter home in Florida. Doug was tenacious, exhibited extreme patience, and was willing to do whatever needed to be done to close the sale under difficult circumstances. He provided me with all the tools necessary to complete not only the inspection, but obtain financing on favorable terms, and kept me well-informed throughout the whole process. I have no doubt that a less enthusiastic agent would have lost interest long before the sale was completed. Any real estate buyer or seller would be well-served to engage Doug Taylor as their agent. I will certainly use Doug in the future and recommend him for real estate sales.

    I'd like to take this opportunity to commend Doug for your helpfulness and professionalism in helping my fiance and I locate and close on waterfront property in Benzie county. From the first day we met Doug, he was very interested in helping us find the property we desired. Meeting on the weekend was fine with Doug. And, although we had numerous questions during the process of locating the property through the closing, Doug was always there to provide us with the information we needed. Thanks for making the process painless Doug!

Doug Taylor was such a wonderful realtor for us.  We found his name online and contacted him before we ever even moved to northern Michigan!  He stayed right by our side for nearly a full year as we researched, visited, compared, and finally chose a home in Benzonia.  Doug was always well-prepared to give us the information, the on-site tours, and finally the time we needed to make the right housing choice.  We are happy with our house-hunting experience and would recommend Doug to any of our friends as an honest, personable and experienced real estate agent.  Thank you Doug!
