Testimonials
We are writing this letter with our most sincere appreciation to Mary Cohen who we think is not only one of the most incredibly knowledgeable and tremendously hardworking Realtor we have ever met, but is someone who is also an amazingly warm, patient and endearing person. Mary's expertise and professionalism in the South Bay real estate market became apparent immediately. What made Mary exceptional was that she really listened to what we were looking for. Throughout the whole process, she remained calm, cool, compassionate and confident in her dealings with us and our seller. We think Mary brings what we like to call her extras to the table and has allowed her to stand a cut above her colleagues. Extras such as doing all the research and leg work for her clients, in really listening to her clients' needs and in generating the respect of and acclaim from her colleagues. Mary has not only become a friend, she has also become our permanent real estate consultant. She is the only one we refer to when anyone even suggests or hints to us that they are looking for a home in the South Bay. In fact, many of our friends are now singing Mary's praises and have joined Mary's fan club. We have worked with many Realtors in the past, but Mary will be our last and only Realtor we will work with.

I have just purchased a home and sold a townhome with Mary Cohen of Alain Pinel Realtors. What a delightful, fun and rewarding experience! With Mary's energy and organization we were able to complete both transactions in seven weeks. Her understanding of the real estate market, pricing, presentation and timing are exceptional. I have a complex work schedule and Mary saved the day by attending all of the inspections, appraisals and meetings for me. She scheduled and occasionally rescheduled escrow meetings around my work commitments. She knew who to call in the community for timely inspections, appraisals and even home repairs. Mary did all of the wonderful staging to maximize my townhome's appeal. I have even incorporated her ideas into the decorating of my new home. I highly recommend Mary Cohen to anyone purchasing or selling real estate in the South Bay. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and personal service made my foray into South Bay real estate a joy. I tease her that is was like having a second mother!

As a seasoned real estate investor I wanted to pass along some comments regarding my recent experience with Mary Cohen. The representation that I received from Mary was professional and one where I felt she was always prepared. Throughout the whole transaction I felt that she was there to help me with any questions, available whenever I needed her and willing to work on my behalf without issue. I would recommend Mary Cohen at Alain Pinel Realtors to my friends or anyone looking for a great Realtor experience.

We want to thank you for the wonderful job you did in helping us locate and buy our property in Los Gatos. We were impressed that you differentiated yourself by carefully listening to our needs, to understand what type of house and landscaping we preferred and that you constantly sought our input to help refine our search during the process. The result was that in a short period of time you were able to show us properties that would work for us and ultimately located the right house at the right price in a very competitive market. Also, you and the entire Alain Pinel team made our "due diligence" process simple by including seasoned professionals to help us assess the house we purchased. And the actual closing was as seamless and clean as any we've experienced, which reflects well on your entire organization. We would strongly recommend you to any potential clients in the future as we are sure they will have a similar positive pleasant experience.

Mary Cohen is absolutely, positively the most wonderful real estate agent in the whole universe!!! Prior to Mary, I was working with another real estate agent. We were going on our six months of looking for a house to purchase, but still nothing had come up that I was even slightly interested in. After several conversations with a colleague of mine, I finally decided to give Mary a call and see what she could do for me. After two outings, Mary found THE house! Since this was my first home, Mary never left my side. She practically carried me through the bidding process, all the contingencies, the financing and closing escrow. Even now, I know that Mary is still by my side. If ever I need anything, I know that I can give her a call and she will help me. Mary Cohen is definitely who you want on your side. She is sweet, honest and realistic. She will fight for what you want and work with you for what you need. She doesn't ask you to settle for anything less than what you desire. She is patient and very willing to work around your schedule. Sie is also extremely knowledgeable in the real estate market. From working with her, you will sense her confidence and know that you are getting the best for the money that you are spending.

Thank you for making the difficult eperience of moving as smooth and easy as it could possibly be. It was a joy to work with you and though I hope that was the last move in my life, I wouldn't have anyone else. Thank you so much for all your help and kindness.

Thank you so much for your superior, successful work as our listing agent. Our house sold very quickly because of your prompt response in getting it on the market. Your expertise in pricing helped us to get top dollar. You guided us competently through the maze of inspections and always was present for the duration of these inspections, which sometimes took an entire day. You were consistently easy to get in touch with and gave us prompt answers to the many questions that arose during the transaction. We were treated with courtesy and in an encouraging manner at all times. You showed your professionalism by offering sound advise and demonstrated simple honesty by honoring your commitments. We highly recommend you as a Realtor to those who want outstanding service in buying or selling real estate.

Mary - A quick note of thanks for all the work it took to find and get me into a new home. You were tireless and patient and I truly appreciated everything you did to make the experience smooth, easy and enjoyable. Then to top it off you even figured I'd need dinner the first night in and brought it over! Talk about service! What more could I have asked for? Nothing I think!
