TESTIMONIALS
Dennis & Debbie J. - Homeowner:
"They are professional and definitely understand the short sale process."
In Sept of 2009, I was offered a retirement package from my employer even though I was not planning on retiring until 2012. I was now forced into retirement while owning a new house with a large mortgage. My wife had retired in 2003. We had just purchased a new home in 2007. We called our mortgage company to discuss a loan modification, and they advised us that we needed to be patient as the value of our home would come back in about 10-15 years. Being 60 years old, this was not an option for us.
We then got in contact with TALKA INTERNATIONAL REALTY, and they immediately came to our aid. They sent us the necessary paperwork for a short sale. Throughout the process, they assisted us by communicating the information needed to be approved for the short sale process to our lender. With their assistance we received an offer for our home. It took 3 months for the lender to approve the sale and by that time, we had lost our potential buyer. Jason found a new buyer within 48 hours! I can't tell you the relief that we felt.
Since guidelines for the short sale specifically state the sale must comply with the original buyer’s sale, we knew we would be asked to leave very quickly. Jason found us a rental. Our short sale closed, and we were moved within 3 weeks without the additional stress or burden of finding another home to live in. We feel we have friends for life. We will definitely refer all of our family and friends to TALKA INTERNATIONAL REALTY for their real estate needs. They are professional and definitely understand the short sale process.

"Jason and Stephanie displayed a level of expertise in which they were always attuned to my needs as their client. There was no question that they could not answer."
After watching the value of my real estate dwindle, it was still painful to decide to sell the investment that I had held for 4 years. Due to financial circumstances, my choices included foreclosure or short sale. I did not possess the requisite skill in handling either choice. I sat down and sent some emails to local real estate agents one night. Within 12 hours, Jason and Stephanie Felker responded and met me at the property the very next day. Their promptness sent a message to me- they were serious and wanted to represent me in this real estate transaction.
This first meeting with the Felkers began a professional relationship based on mutual respect. Throughout this transaction, the Felkers did everything they said they'd do. They maintained contact with the mortgage company, updated me on the progress of the short sale document requirements, and informed me of showings of the property to potential buyers. They provided encouragement when the purchase seemed doom to fail. Jason and Stephanie displayed a level of expertise in which they were always attuned to my needs as their client. There was no question that they could not answer. They maintained constant communication either through email or phone calls.
The short sale was a success and the Felkers walked me through the process accompanying me from start to finish. Would I trust them with other real estate transactions – yes! I highly recommend Jason and Stephanie as they represent the epitome of professionalism in real estate.

"Jason’s superior level of professionalism and dedicated communication took the headache out of this process for me."
I worked with Jason Felker on the short sale of my home. The process of short selling is long, drawn out and sometimes frustrating; it’s not a process for the inexperienced. Jason’s superior level of professionalism and dedicated communication took the headache out of this process for me. Jason’s use of tools like DocuSign and online short sale software made signing documents and checking up on the progress of the sale a breeze. His communication and follow through with the bank helped ensure that they had all the necessary documents they needed. It put me at ease that he is highly knowledgeable about the process of short selling and knows how to successfully navigate the paperwork associated with such a deal.
I always appreciated Jason’s open line of communication with me and I never once doubted his ability to follow through. I cannot express how happy I am with his services and would not hesitate to recommend or use his services again. Again, thank you Jason for all your hard work.

They even stopped out the week after my closing to assist me with my pool, saving me a costly professional service call!
