"My wife and I had been dreaming of the perfect forever home for many years and John helped it all come together with flying colors. From Day 1, when he immediately answered our initial questions during a long phone call and then followed up with a thorough email later that evening, to the day we closed on our home, we knew John was the right choice. John stuck with us through thick and thin for almost an entire year. He never wavered and remained available at all times regardless of the issue or concern.
We strongly recommend John to anyone thinking of buying a house in the Miami area. John knows his stuff. While his expertise provides you with a consummate professional on your side, his personal attention makes you feel like you have a friend in your corner as well. " back to top

"I am not one to write thank you letters, however, in this instance it is well deserved. Not a day goes by that my wife and I don't discuss what an outstanding job you did for us. You truly are a pearl in a sea of mediocrity.
As we read about the market in Miami and across the country we marvel in your ability to sell our home so close to our original asking price. We still receive email alerts that show other houses superior to ours with reduced prices beneath what we sold ours for. We can not thank you enough.
Thank you again for going above and beyond on a daily basis helping us out when we were 600 miles away. What other realtor would feed our dogs on weekends and make sure the house was always in order? What other realtor would give up much of his own life to make sure we sold our house so quickly?
Again, thank you so much for everything. We aim to return to South Florida in a few years and look forward to the opportunity to work with you again." back to top

"My husband and I wanted to let you know what an outstanding job John Seidel did for us on both the selling and buying end of our recent transactions in this trying real estate market. He was extremely professional in the manner he handled potential buyers, marketing our property on the web sites and printed ads, open houses and broker opens, not to mention the numerous inspections and closings when we sold and bought our homes.
As a mother of three children under the age of four, trying to sell a home can be extremely stressful to a family. John was not only a realtor to us, but wore many hats during the process. He acted as babysitter while I prepped the home for showings; marriage counselor to my husband and I when we disagreed over pricing and issues involved in selling/buying a home; designer with great ideas for staging the home; weekend chauffeur to every house on the market in numerous neighborhoods and mediator between all parties involved. He held our hands, figuratively, and went well above his duties as realtor, literally, through every step of selling and buying a home.
To say that John Seidel puts 100% of himself into his job would be an understatement. He understands that making the decision to sell or buy a house is more than a business transaction, it is life changing; it is your home!
We will recommend John and Coldwell Banker to all of our friends and family, as well as use him again in future real estate matters.

"OUR APPRECIATION FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE
Moving is a tough enough job in itself; moving to a new State and city is even tougher when you dont know anything -- especially moving from a Manhattan apartment to suburban South Florida living.
Trudy and I wanted to be sure you knew how much all your efforts meant to us finding a new home. You have set a standard others will find difficult if not impossible to meet. Just a few examples, you
Asked and listened about our needs and interests
Seemed to be reading our minds by anticipating all our tireless inquiries
Worked tirelessly to find communities and
potential homes that met our preferences and lifestyle
Made great suggestions from inspectors to attorneys and more
Provided wonderful guidance when it came to selecting and making a deal. At no time did you tell us what to do you always offered options for us to consider to make the right decision
John: having spent my career consulting to Fortune 100 firms, Ive come to recognize professionalism. You exuded such a professional approach at each and every step.
Trudy and I are indeed fortunate to have worked with you and your generosity keeps giving every day we are in our home.
Thanks again for everything and we wish you all the best you deserve it." back to top

"It was a pleasure working with you in connection with the Simpson sale. You represented the Simpsons well and they were pleased with the fact that you secured in excess of what they had originally anticipated by the sale of some of the personal property.
Coldwell Banker should be pleased to have you as a Realtor with their firm." back to top

"I just wanted to express my gratitude to John Seidel who recently assisted me in selling my property in Coconut Grove.
John will tell you that we have been colleagues for many years. But aside from this fact, John was extremely attentive in all facets with selling my property, especially during the time when Hurricane Wilma came through.
John always followed up with phone calls and kept me up to date at all times, always making himself available to show my property and ensure everything "was in place." I truly believe this helped to maximize the sales price we were able to get for the property, which I am very satisfied with.
But on top of this when I thereafer needed to look for a rental property, John used his own time during evenings and weekends to accompany me in finding a rental (something that he was not obligated to do).
In closing, I just wanted to let someone in your organization know what a true professional John is to work with. Of course all of my future referrals will go to John and to Coldwell Banker." back to top
Lorie and Nick Farmer
"I've been wanting to thank you properly for how much you have done getting our place sold! Many people say, "it's about who you know" when you trust someone with the sale of your property.
My husband and I were fairly new to Coral Gables and didn't have too many contacts in the area. Knowing how difficult the market has been only made us more fortunate that we ended up finding you to be our realtor. You always made us feel like your #1 client. We really appreciated the way you met with us regularly, invested your time and energy into the sale of our property, and even worked with us on more unusal circumstances, like when you drove out of your way to drop off documents at my husband's office and when you coordinated showings with our tenants and helped them find another residence just to make our sale happen more smoothly.
When the inevitable questions came up, you didn't hesitate to provide us with feedback based on your consultations with your network of other realtors as well as your own experience. You were always very knowledgable about the sales activities in different parts of Miami, and you knew when and how to apply that knowledge to make our sale successful.
On both a business and a personal level, we are happy to have met you and highly recommend you to anyone who thinks it's important to trust their realtor. You were a pleasure to work with and honestly made the sale of our property something for us to celebrate.
And of course we had our little ones to brighten our conversations!" back to top

"Professionally, John, we really appreciate the smooth way you transacted the sale of our property.
Your enthusiasm, careful planning and attention to detail made it possible to make the full price offer with the perfect buyer.
Our best wishes for your long and successful career." back to top

"I wanted to let you know once again how much I appreciate all your hard work and efforts that yo uput into selling my apartment on Miami Beach. During a time when real estate prices started to crumble and the market was very weak you not only managed to sell the condo faster than I expected but also for more money than I had hoped for.
Being that I was on contract outside the country for the entire time the condo was on the market I appreciate you taking care of absolutely everything. You went way above and beyond what I would have expected from my realtor.
Once again, Thank you for everything you did for me." back to top
