Fariba Ferdowsi

We selected Fariba over our neighborhood real estate experts because she had helped friends on two different occasions in two different real estate markets get the best value for their home. We wanted a real estate agent that had a fresh set of eyes not only for how to price our house, but how to stage it, how to effectively engage prospective buyers, & most importantly how to negotiate to get us the best offer possible. We honestly wanted it all, we wanted a real estate agent that we liked as a person and was exceptional in the field. Well we hit the jackpot with Fariba on all accounts! She combined her extensive knowledge of the general real estate trends with specific data for our neighborhood to identify the best possible time to list our home. This resulted in multiple offers within 4 days of being on the market.Fariba is kind and genuinely cares about her clients and conducts business with the utmost integrity & honestly. She is the unique combination of confident, calm, & reserved while being a POWERHOUSE in negotiations. She worked diligently (till 9pm at night) negotiating with each sellers agent so that by the time she was presenting offers to us she was presenting what she believed were the best possible offers. When she presented them to us, we looked at each other as if to say this cant be real it was better than we could have ever hoped for. My husband and I fondly call her the master negotiator. She negotiated terms for us that we didnt even know were an option. We are not writing this recommendation simply because Fariba was able to get us top dollar for our house with wonderful contract terms. We are writing this recommendation because she did all that AND made us feel supported, nurtured & special. (Sheila & Jeff Beard)I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the extraordinary service I received from an exceptional member of your staff by the name of Fariba Ferdowsi. I was introduced to Fariba by a referral. he warm and straightforward manner put me at ease from the start. From the moment I met her, I was confident that she would be successful in obtaining for me the optimum price for my home.Fariba is extremely confident, energetic and enthusiastic. She is so multi-talented that at times I felt as if I was working with three people instead of one. She is a gifted agent, creative artist and photographer. The advertising literature she produced for my home, her expert staging, and the pictures she put on the Internet were key in selling my place so quickly.My sister, Marge Kane, met Fariba. Marge has over thirty years of experience in the Real Estate Industry as a broker, manager and top producing agent. She was impressed with Fariba's real estate expertise, honesty and integrity and felt that I had perfect agent working for me.Weichert Realty is extremely fortunate to have such a superb representative working on their behalf. I would recommend Fariba to anyone buying or selling a home, as I had a very positive experience working with her. She is a veritable gem and a true credit to her profession. (Joan Bishop)I write this letter to state that Fariba Ferdowsi was the realtor for the sale of my property effective 1 April 2013. Mrs. Ferdowsi was the driving force behind the entire sale and dealt with the foreclosing bank, the buyer, and my personal lawyer. She did this on her own initiative, as I was preoccupied with my own set of priorities at this time. I cannot overstate the combination of zeal and patience Fariba exhibited during this trying period of my life. Mrs. Ferdowsi has my personal undying gratitude and hearty recommendation of her assistance to anyone seeking to sell or buy a residence. Fariba will go the extra mile for you. -Steve WingateWe were particularly pleased with several aspects of the service Ms. Ferdowsi provided as our sales agent: She and her associate created a well-staged video of our property which provided a better preview on the internet than the photos typically prepared by other agents.She performed an extensive review of comparables, both sold and on the market, as well as a review of tax assessments for other properties in the area.She was willing to accept a higher listing price initially than she thought was reasonable for the property, so that we would be comfortable with the sales process.She negotiated a sale price that was $10,000 higher than the price we were willing to accept during negotiation with the buyer. She accompanied the inspector for the buyer to understand his view on the items in the house that needed repair.She provided a handyman who quickly and efficiently fixed the items found to be in need of repair by the inspector working for the purchaser.She dealt very effectively with the agent representing the buyer of our property when this agent made demands at the settlement that were at odds with the terms in the contract. -Theodore R. Breton, Vera B. BretonI am writing this letter to you to express my gratitude for the most extraordinary experience I had with you on Wednesday, October 17th, 2018 regarding your real estate consultation. Honestly, this was the first time I sat with a real estate agent and did not feel rushed. When you arrived at my home, I was thinking of my previous experiences with a few other real estate agents, who from the beginning, wanted to get a contract, sell the house, get their share and leave me with all the negative outcomes of a hasty decision for the rest of my life. Due to my complicated life and being confused about my future residence, I felt it was necessary for me to be honest with you about my feelings, financial status, and future goals.You patiently listened without interruption, asked a few questions, and began searching in your computer for something that fits my situation. We discussed several options and finally you advised me to hold off on selling my house and wait until I am certain what I want to do with my life. I am profoundly impressed by your patience, kindness, work ethics, values, knowledge, and professionalism who puts customer in front of herself. I recall asking you but what about you; you drove a long way to come to my house, and spent almost four hours to listen to me and now you are leaving empty-handed. You kindly said that you have already achieved your goal through giving me the best advice for the present, and keeping me safe from a hasty decision.Your voice saying that you have already achieved your business goal, still echoes in my mind. I am confident that your business goal is in alignment with your real estate mission statement. There is no doubt in my mind that agents like you are an asset to any organization in maintaining both business and service objectives to the communities. In conclusion, I must say, you and your company are the first to contact should I ever reach my final decision for sale. (Soraya Shir)"Fariba helped us find our dream home and negotiated the price down an unbelievable amount!We had been actively looking at homes with Fariba for about 7 months (we are very picky in what we want). She was very patient and helped us greatly with each home we considered. She quickly got to know what we were looking for in a home and provided a lot of insight on things we did not consider but should. On a number of properties that we were considering, she provided her honest feedback about things she felt were issues at any given property. One would think that real estate agents have an incentive to get a sale quickly, but we truly felt Fariba had our best interest at heart.When we came across the home we eventually bought, our jaws dropped. The same home located across rt 7 in Great Falls would have commanded $400-$500k more. Based on all the other homes we saw, we knew this was it so our thinking was as can be expected clouded with emotion. Fariba helped to ground us so that we could negotiate to get the best possible deal. She is very calm, deliberate and determined in her negotiation skills and was able to negotiate the price down by $120k and have the sellers include furniture and furnishings in the deal. There were times when we thought it was going to fall through, but she stayed steady and was able of getting us a great deal. What made it complex was that we had just sold our home with a 1 month rent back so we were on a deadline to close on the new home. She made sure every step in the process was completed on schedule and helped to resolve all issues that arose so that we can close in time for us to move directly from our old home into our new home without having to move twice.She treated us as family and safe guarded our interests. She saved us a ton of money and a lot of hassle to make the moving process ideal. We couldn't have hoped for a better experience!" (Houshmand A.)
