There are many things I can say about the high quality of service I provide to my home seller and homebuyer clients. But even better might be testimonials from some of my recent clients. I hope their comments indicate my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs. Ken Shapiro
“I worked with Ken Shapiro of Silverwood properties for a period of eight months during 2010-2011, when I decided to sell my Silver Lake property. I went through quite a lot of emotional stress with this property, and throughout, Ken showed patience, compassion and humor that helped me through. In addition, he dealt with a number of unexpected obstacles during the sale, such as the sudden demand from the buyers for a $60,000 “buyer’s credit,” in an entirely professional manner. At a moment when we could have easily lost the sale, Ken proved a master at negotiation and got us through. Not only that, but all the paper work and the closing, at which I was not even present, proceeded smoothly and without a hitch. There were no errors, no delays and no unexpected fees.
I can highly recommend Ken Shapiro as an agent of great experience and integrity. A pleasure to work with! K. M. Sag Harbor, NY”
“Ken Shapiro and Silverwood properties gave outstanding service in both buying our new home and selling our condo. Ken knew the market really well and priced our condo perfectly. He stayed on top of things every step of the way and serviced us beyond what I expected from any Real Estate Agent. I strongly recommend Silverwood Properties if you are looking at selling or buying a home.” LB
“Ken did an excellent job of helping our business find a commercial space. He understood our needs and persevered through the process of negotiating the lease. I was especially impressed with his ability to communicate clearly. Thanks.” B.B.
“My being in Berlin, Germany, during the whole transaction, makes me appreciate even more, how you made this little mountain move. You were very focused and updated me constantly by email and phone long distance about the developments with potential buyers and explained everything in great detail. You earned every $ of the commission you charged. You are hard working, honest and result oriented and I highly recommend you to anybody who wants to sell a property or anything else for that matter.” Best, P.A.S.
“I am writing with regard to the sale of my clients house on Whitmore Ave. I have been her friend and investment advisor for the past thirty years, during which time she has come to rely on me in organizing her financial affairs and guiding her to well-qualified persons for her legal and tax preparation needs. I feel at this point that I could not have chosen a better person to represent her on her sale than you turned out to be. You deserve to be complimented for the manner in which you saw the process through in not only getting her house sold, which as you know was very time consuming. You handled various requests for information with patience and professionalism, which has been very much appreciated. If the opportunity presents itself in the future I will look forward to recommending you to any of my clients or friends in need of a good real estate agent.” Yours truly, A.S.H.
I would like to take this opportunity to offer my personal recommendation of Mr. Ken Shapiro as a hardworking, diligent and professional real estate agent. Ken recently assisted me through the traumatic process of selling my home and did so with understanding and continually “going the extra mile.” I must say that I felt much more at ease knowing that Ken was handling all the details and that I was confident that things were being attended to throughout. If you were looking for a hard working and professional agent I would strongly recommend Ken.” Sincerely, T.D.
“When we decided to buy in Echo Park, we were very lucky to bump into Ken Shapiro at the beginning of the process. We had been looking at many different properties, just waiting for the right one to come along. When it did, Ken sprung into action. It was a pleasure working with him, and we knew that he was on top of everything. My wife says, “If anyone can, Ken can!” Thanks Ken!” J.M.
“We want to take this time to thank Mr. Ken for all of his help. We came into his office with thousands of questions, which he answered. We are pleased with the service and the end result of a new house. Mr. Ken took the time to explain the entire process and made us feel very comfortable. We would and are definitely going to refer our friends and family looking to by a home to Mr. Ken so they too can see what a great job he does. Thank you Mr. Ken for making this dream a reality.” J.V & M.V.
“I was at risk of losing my condo and having to pay a lot of money. Ken suggested and helped me with a Short Sale. With his help I sold my condo with ease and would not have been able to get it done without his knowledge. Thanks.” E.P.
“My thanks to Ken Shapiro for the expertise he displayed in the recent selling of our townhouse and purchase of our house. In this very strange market (Spring-Summer 2010) Ken never gave up and always seemed capable of solving whatever problem we encountered. I give him my unqualified recommendation.” BD
“Just a note to thank you for your diligent, energetic, conscientious and ethical work on our property purchase. Some transactions are more difficult than others and you tenaciously fought on our behalf to make this one happen. We are sincerely grateful. Needless to say we would be happy to act as a referral for you in any prospective clients have questions about your expertise, dedication or integrity. We were lucky to have you in our corner.” Sincerely, L.S and D.J.
“In this uncertain market it is key to have a real estate agent who understands the intricacies of the local market, is straightforward and hard-working, and above all, trustworthy. Ken has all of these qualities in spades. As a home-buyer and real estate investor, I will confidently refer him to friends, family and colleagues.” L.T.
“I was very impressed with the help and assistance I received on the purchase of my property in Los Angeles. I hadn’t intended on buying anything but Mr. Shapiro got me a great deal-he knew more what I was looking for than I did! I’ve looked around since the purchase and I can really appreciate what a deal he did get me. Thank you Ken.” Sincerely, T.S.
“Thank you so much for all you’ve done on helping me to buy my four-plex. I’m so happy with your performance as my realtor. You went well beyond the responsibilities of a realtor. Thanks again! I would never use another realtor or recommend that anyone else do either!” C.S
“I think it’s been about a year since we first started speaking about finding an appropriate investment property for me. Over the years, I have spoken to many real estate agents, who I always tell the same thing. “I am always interested in a good investment”. The typical response I get is to be put on their email list and get a few blasts on the new MLS activity. That usually lasts a couple of months. I can honestly say that you are the first agent I have dealt with who gave me the impression that you would not quit until you found something acceptable to me. The bottom line is: it took a while, but your dedication and perseverance paid off in the end. I am absolutely thrilled with the rental property that you found for me and, of course, the positive cash flow does not hurt! I am sure we will do more deals together in the future!” Regards, B.R.
“Previous to dropping into Ken’s office in Echo Park, we had worked with three different realtors, none of whom worked particularly hard for us or, when they did, were fully in tune with what we were looking for. Our experience with Ken was the opposite.
He did everything that needed doing right away and listened to us about what we wanted. We ended up finding a beautiful fixer here in Echo Park with the building possibilities we wanted. Ken was especially good through the course of the short sale, which required a lot of energy and careful interaction with selling and lending banks. We’re recommending Ken to any of our friends who are looking to buy.” Sincerely, M.M and I.G.
“I would like to thank Ken for the excellent service that he provided to me when he helped me sell my house. I was surprised at how quickly he made the house sell, but more importantly was the service. He was very thorough in his problem solving skills as various issues arose that had to be taken care of to get the maximum profit at the minimum expenditure of my time and resources. He was a “Rock of Gibraltar” during the process. I knew I didn’t need to worry about a thing and that he would do his best to represent my best interests and me. Thanks Ken for your hard and conscientious representation of me and the sale of my house. If ever I should find myself needing to sell a house again, you are certainly the person I will seek.” Warmest Regards, T.B.
