Elina Pargamanik

440 South Broad StreetPhiladelphia, PA 19146March 1, 2016To Whom It May Concern:It is my distinct pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Elina Pargamanik, who has far exceeded my expectations as a buyer and as a seller. When I first contacted Elina, I wanted someone who was new to real estate, and hopefully eager and responsive. At the time, I believe that Elina had been in the business for about a year, Needless to say, Elina exceeded my expectations with her excellent listening skills, sound judgment, and timely communications. What really sets Elina apart is her warm easygoing nature, which facilitates a home search, given the inevitable emotional highs and lows that most buyers and sellers will experience. At all times, it was evident that Elina had my best interest at heart, especially when I second guessed if I even needed or wanted to buy again, months after beginning our business relationship.At the end of an eight month process, I purchased a lovely Center City condo, which Elina skillfully negotiated 3.1% below listing price. One week after closing on my new condo, Elina sold my old condo, which went under contract in three days and at 1.0% below listing price. Each real estate transaction closing was a pleasant process for all parties, thanks to Elinas thorough preparation, disarming personality and positive outlook. Overall, Elina successfully transacted nearly $750,000.00 worth of real estate for me.Joanne Davidow, Vice President, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, has written to me stating: I thank you so much for taking the time to write to me about Elina. I couldn't agree with you more. She has impressed me the same way. She is smart, enthusiastic, hard working and very effective in her job beside being sweet and having a great personality. I'm glad to share membership in her fan club with you. I expect she will continue to have great success in real estate and helping others. [emphasis supplied]In my case, Elina went one step further by spontaneously and enthusiastically offering to help me decorate and furnish my new home. Four months following my closing, and in conjunction with an interior designer, Elina cheerfully helped me match my needs, lifestyle, and budget. When I return home now, I can truly say that I am at home. My experiences aside, I understand that eight months after first meeting Elina, she has now completed fourteen sales, and has achieved distinction as a high volume realtor, unusual for someone so new to real estate. That alone speaks volumes about Elina.As one who has been involved in nine real estate transactions since 1994, Elina proved to be the absolute best fit as a realtor, and now, as a friend. It goes without saying, I recommend Elina with much enthusiasm.
