 Angela Acord--Buyer's & Seller's Agent
July, 2009 Angie went above and beyond, not only in assisting us with the sale, and with the inspections and necessary work, but gave us valuable contacts within the community. Leslie Fullerton-Pacis and Edwon Pacis Cobb, CA
Angie has served me on many real estate deals. Her attentiveness to the details of the house and market, and her willingness to be in my corner on the representation of the deal is why I go back to her for my real estate pursuits. Michael W., an active investor
May, 2008 Angie Acord is my favorite real estate agent. She is highly energetic and extremely available to her customers' wants and needs. It was a pleasure working with her on the sale of my house, which she handled in a very effective and pleasant manner and I trust her to find me the house I want. Her business savy and knowledge of the market make her a trustworthy agent. Her advise on real estate matters is always very useful and to the point. I highly recommend Angie Acord if you need to get the "job done". Christina DeJongh Loch Lomond, CA
June 9, 2007 Dear Sir, We had our home listed for sale with a discount broker for 241 days. We listed with them because we thought that real estate agents were paid too much. The discount broker did not do any marketing of our home, and our home did not sell. In fact, we never even had an offer. When our home expired from the market, Angela Acord contacted us. Angela was friendly, professional, and courteous. She helped us price our house correctly for the current market. She placed our home in the Real Estate Book, and on REALTOR.COM, as well as in the Lake County MLS, and the Bay area MLS. She also placed our home on the Timothy Toye team website. From the Team Timothy website, she sent out a broadcast to all of her prospective buyers. She exceeded our expectations in terms of the marketing of our home. As it happened, another member of the Timothy Toye team, Yolande Muller, brought the buyers for our house. We received an acceptable offer on our house in only 71 days, despite being in a very “down” market. Yolande was also professional, and courteous. She and Angela worked together to make sure that both the buyer’s and our own needs were met from start to finish. I would also like to mention that because of Angela’s intuition, experience, and expertise, we saved over $6,000. Angela recommended that we get a second opinion on a pest inspection, because the first pest inspection repair estimate seemed unreasonably high. We decided to take her advice, and we are very glad we did. We now know that a good real estate agent EARNS every dollar that they are paid. We would gladly recommend Angela Acord to anyone who is buying or selling a house. Sincerely, Bill and Connie Jensen 16520 Schwartz Rd. Cobb, CA 95426
Wonderful woman!! Thanks, Angie, for your perseverance and personality... both are appreciated! It has been wonderful being able to rely on you. Thank you, Angie, for your help in making this happen. You are a master magician! --Colleen Downing 15935 Anderson Way, Cobb
Angie sold our land in Cobb in 8 days. Then, she sold our house in Clearlake 2 months later. Our lender for the Clearlake house was going to charge over $4,000 for a pre-payment penalty. There was not enough money to close the escrow. No matter how we tried, the lender would not agree to waive the fee. We gave Angie permission to speak to them on our behalf, and within 2 days they agreed to waive the penalty, saving us over $4,000, and making it possible for us to complete the sale. We think she must be a magician! We have recommended her to our friends and acquaintances. Angie, you rock !!! Dave & Renada Breeden, Cobb
You are an awesome Realtor!! Joe & Nina Justice, Clearlake

David L. – Mt Hannah, Cobb CA
"We are first time home buyers in a complicated real estate market. Michael Fern was patient, professional and hand-held us through a complicated and emotional process. He also had to weave between my wife and I who had somewhat different ideas of what we wanted!Bottom line ... we found our "dream house", got a great price for it and that would not have happened without Michael's extended efforts and professional help!"
D. & P. - Cobb, CA
"After a day of looking at great deals that required extensive renovation, I gave Michael feedback that we needed a new house to retire in and that was all one level..no stairs, short driveway but beautiful view. The very NEXT DAY Michael showed us our dream house that was a short sale and met all the above criteria and more...we love it. We felt Michael was there for us every step of the way. Thank you!" Patricia - Cobb, CA.

Time to Move >Remodel Or Move
At some point your present home may begin to feel cramped. You would like enough room to have an "adult haven", but you must weigh the price of a larger home over against the prospect of living with contractors and plaster dust for a long time. Is it better to remodel or to look for a new home?
Before you decide on a major home improvement project, talk with a real estate agent who knows your neighborhood. Will the changes you have in mind over-improve your home, making it difficult to re-sell? Will you be able to recover the cost of your investment? Find out how much your present home is currently worth, and how much home equity you have. You may be able to make a substantial down payment that lowers your mortgage payments on a larger home. It may be worth making a move to avoid the stress and inconvenience of remodeling, if you can find a new home with all the features you would like to add to your present home.
