Phil Boren

Phil Boren was our realtor who helped us find the home we are happily settling into. Phil was completely dedicated to helping us find the home that would fit us best, attentively listened to our desires and concerns, gave us excellent advice, encouraged us in our search when we were getting discouraged, and was always energetic and willing to go the extra mile for us. We especially appreciated Phil's assertiveness in making sure our offer was submitted on a timely basis and having the sellers respond within 24 hours, which definitely helped us get the home we wanted! Phil was our advocate from the day we met him and he never hesitated to do everything possible to ensure that the contract included everything we discussed, and even helped us deal with an issue we were having with the buyer of our home. We have bought and sold many homes with different realtors, but Phil is by far the best realtor we have ever had and I would nominate him for a Realtor of the Year award! Phil is the best!!

I would recommend Phil Boren to anyone that is looking for a top quality Realtor. Phil was extremely hard-working and followed up with every item, large or small. He gave my wife and I great advice about the properties that we were interested in and made sure we made informed decisions. Phil is a true professional and we will definitely recommend him to any of our friends and family.

If you want a knowledgeable, intelligent and warm Realtor, Phil Boren is your man. As a newly-widowed gal, Phil worked me through the scary course of putting my home up for sale. Throughout the many home showings, he kept me informed and was skilled at selecting the right buyer for me. I would highly recommend Phil Boren if you are in the market to sell or buy a home in the Granite Bay/Roseville area.

Thank you for the exceptional job you did in listing, selling and closing the Pebble Beach residence. I have been involved in buying and selling real estate for the last 28 years in transactions that included residences, apartments and land. These sales have been in different parts of the country and in a variety of market conditions. Residence sales have been in the low, medium and very high-end custom markets. After careful reflection, I am convinced that this was the most professional sale with the best results I have experienced in the last 28 years. When I selected you, it was based on a process in which I interviewed five Realtors. I selected you based on the following: 1) You had more extensive knowledge of the local area, market and transactions in my neighborhood. Whereas other Realtors performed a standard comp analysis, yours was more custom and clearly demonstrated that you knew more about the houses, builders, area and terms of the previous sales than any other Realtor I interviewed. 2) You clearly had the most professional and modern marketing approach for a high-end property. Even more impressive was your knowledge of the potential buyer market and your approach to pre-market the property to a base of local buyers. None of the other Realtors could match your marketing approach. 3) You demonstrated excellent knowledge of how to prepare the house for sale and insure all repairs were complete. Your review of the house was the most thorough I've ever experienced. I attribute the buyer's clean inspection report directly to your knowledge of how to properly repair and present the property. 4) Your appraisal background, your knowledge of the area, and your reputation of integrity ultimately enabled us to obtain appropriate value for the property. None of the other Realtors had your professional breadth of experience and technical background. 5) You had wonderful interpersonal and communication skills. You were exceptional in working through various interpersonal issues and getting the transaction closed in a win-win position for all parties. This transaction was a pleasant experience. I enjoyed working with you and believe I received exceptional value for your services. As I sat in the closing and looked at the commission payable, I had a great feeling that I received my money's worth and I absolutely made the correct decision in selecting you and your firm. I look forward to dealing with you on future transactions.
