Testimonials

It was our lucky day when Alain Pinel Realtors® Online matched us up with Todd Scheid. I was able to move my Mom (to a residence closer to me) with confidence, knowing her house was in good hands. Day one, Todd took care of the house, from putting items out for pickup to adding chlorine tablets to the spa. With a small budget, Todd created a marketing strategy that consisted of two phases. This allowed us to try to sell the house with few improvements, and then adding to those lists as the market dictated. When it was time to do extra work on the house, Todd had a network of people to bring in, oversee each project and kept us informed of the progress. He listened to our concerns and always gave us options. Todd also keep a vigilant watch of what was happening to home sales in Walnut Creek. He thoughtfully advised us on how to remain competitive. His energy and upbeat personality never allowed us to doubt for one moment that the house would sell. After living in Walnut Creek for 37 years with my Dad, it was hard for my Mom to move. Knowing a young family will now be raising their children in her home has given us both a lot of comfort. We can’t thank Todd enough for his patience and guidance. Without him, this would not have been possible. To former neighbors in the Scottsdale area and anyone interested in selling or purchasing a home, we highly recommend Todd Scheid.

My wife, older son, and I recently used Todd Scheid to help us locate and buy a house in Lafayette. Altogether our association with him lasted from 08/03 through 09/03. All three of us were enormously pleased with Todd’s attention to detail, communication skills, frequency of contact both in person and by phone and email, and his pleasant manner. We felt that he understood our preferences and concerns, and was acting in our best interests in meetings with the seller. He explained the mechanisms, timing and importance of the various stages involved in purchasing our house. Most of all we all felt confidence in his ability to see the deal through, without presenting us with any surprises. He was always available when we had questions and created a smooth flow of events leading to the actual purchase. We highly recommend Todd for anyone interested in purchasing a house. Should you with the talk to use we are available at (510) 527-6803 (Lou and Nancy) or (415) 867-2440 (Lauren).

Here are our reactions, feelings and evaluations regarding our sale/move from our 48 year old home on 21 Columbia Ct. in Walnut Creek this summer to our new home in Rossmoor both of which Alain Pinel’s star team led the way. Quite simply Sallie and I feel you and Alain Pinel should be awarded a four star rating! Your professional attention to the many details involved over the three month period was impressive. Your empathetic guidance through two closings which, to people of our age can be, to say the least trying, was most reassuring. Your suggestions of Movers (Waters Moving and Storage) was “spot on”. Your guidance and handling of the sale and purchase trade negotiations carried us over the rough spots. At the risk of being overly effusive, we thought the entire effort was first class and for that Sallie and I want to thank and express our appreciation to you both and your organization, Alain Pinel.

I just wanted to send a big “Thank You” for all your hard work in selling my dad’s co-op. I have no doubt that your professionalism and dedication helped us to sell it so quickly (and in record “Rossmoor time”!). It was always reassuring to know that you were on top of things, from arranging for the ceiling and other work by Rossmoor, to taking the wonderful photos and preparing a fantastic brochure and web presence to portray the co-op in its best light, to make sure everything got done correctly, and on time, I didn’t worry because I knew I was in good hands. I will definitely recommend you whenever someone is looking for a Realtor®, and when we get ready to move you’ll be the one I call! Please accept the enclosed Gift Certificate for picture framing at our shop as our way of saying thanks again for everything. We look forward to framing that “something special” for you.
