Hi Mike, thanks for the updates & thanks for all you did-
to prepare the house for sale and bring it to a successful closing.
My sisters and I are very appreciative of your efforts and counsel.
5/12/10 To whom it may concern:
I employed Mike Paris & Michelle Chen Paris of Coldwell Banker as my realtor to assist in the sale of my deceased father’s home, in the Lower Hastings Ranch neighborhood of Pasadena spring of 2010. I interviewed several realtors and was impressed with Mike’s knowledge of the area and his overall energy, professionalism, and attention to detail.
Mike was a huge help to me as I live 30 miles away and he handled a number of the small but necessary items needed to get the home ready for sale and to ultimate closure. He is a very good communicator and kept me well informed of all issues, offers and the status of all negotiations as they progressed with several parties. His intimate knowledge of the city of Pasadena requirements proved very helpful and he dealt with all inspection, occupancy, and closing requirements in a timely and complete manner.
Mike knows his markets and his business very well and I would recommend you strongly consider him to assist you with the sale of any property.
Feel free to call me directly at 310-453-7303 if you have any specific questions.

We are blessed to own the Sierra Madre home we now have, and we wouldn’t have found it without our realtors Michael Paris and his wife, Michelle Chen. As first-time home-buyers, we weren’t sure how to go about finding a home we liked within our budget. Then we met Mike and Michelle. We made a connection with them right away. They were honest and direct. They put us on the right track to getting the home we have now – and we love it.
Derek & Natalie Blackway, Sierra Madre Ca. Janurary 2010
This letter expresses my deep appreciation for the work done on behalf of me and my wife by Mike Paris of Coldwell Banker. Mike made buying our new home easy and pleasurable. He was always ready and eager to view properties, and once we had made our choice, was available to answer any and all of the many questions that we had. I can heartily recommend Mike as a true real estate professional, without reservation.
Sincerely, Eric Persson, Sierra Madre CA. October 29, 2009
Diana and I were in desperate need of a home upgrade due to family additions since the purchase of our first home. Mike quickly developed a specific plan to help us get our home in good condition to sell, developed an aggressive marketing plan, and reacted quickly to sentiment during open houses to keep our home priced competitively in a bad and falling housing market. We often wondered why Mike kept working so hard to keep interest up in our home even when we went into our first escrow, but quickly understood when we fell out of escrow. Mike had us in a second escrow in a matter of days. We cannot thank you enough for your hard work and know we would still be sitting in our first home, chasing the market downward, with a lesser Realtor.

"The results speak for themselves. Despite the downturn in the market, you were able to attract a buyer that yielded a strong price for the home nevertheless. In reflecting on the quick sale of the home in about one month despite the lagging market, it was the exceptional advertising outreach of Coldwell Banker that attracted the eventual buyer from the Wilshire District of downtown Los Angeles. No other Realtor that I interviewed was able to provide the exceptional visibility and reach of your advertising. Because of your enormous help, obvious experience, capability and total integrity throughout the process, which can be stressful, I am deeply appreciative and would not hesitate to recommend your services to any prospective seller. You may use me as a reference any time."
Steve Albu: Sierra Madre Ca.
We have worked with Michael Paris twice now, and have never met a better realtor. The first time we met Michael was over the Internet. We needed to find a website that would allow easy access to the MLS, and wwww.MikeParisHomes.com was the best by far. We were so impressed by his web site’s organization and ease of use, we decided to call him and ask for some assistance. He was friendly, accommodating and made sure that the one weekend we were in town, tours were set up and he found us a house.
Mr. & Mrs. George Rappard MD: La Canada-Flintridge Ca.
Your solid advice, strong drive, and genuine caring exemplified what we were looking for in an agent. We are extremely pleased with our purchase and your services. The house is everything we wanted and a fine example of historic Sierra Madre.
Alex and Kathy Campbell: Sierra Madre Ca.
Today is the closing on the house you sold for me in Sierra Madre Ca. and I feel so fortunate in having made so many correct decisions, the greatest of which was listing my home with you. I am so happy to say thanks and to understand how you can proudly report "Multi-Millions in sales"
Reed S. Clarke, Sierra Madre Ca.
Kris and I wanted to thank you again for all your efforts in helping us find our Sierra Madre dream house.
Nick Siegler & Kris Kaul: Sierra Madre Ca.
Thank you for all you did to help us sell our home. We had two difficult experiences with previous Realtors and were quite leery about the prospect of working with another one. From the first day we felt comfortable with you - your ethics, knowledge, willingness to listen and your commitment to helping us sell our home.
Herb and Patty Stroh: Sierra Madre Ca.
"Michael Paris acted as the listing agent for us when we recently put our home in Sierra Madre up for sale. He was extremely professional, diligent and provided excellent service. He was also very helpful in navigating some very complicated building permit issues. We highly recommend his services for anyone requiring assistance in buying or selling a home"
John & Ann Shin: Sierra Madre Ca.
Dear Mike, We have just finished the first week in our new home, and now that the dust has settled a bit, we wanted to extend our thanks to you as our Realtor. Mike, we were most satisfied with your efforts on our behalf. Your knowledge of the market resulted in our receiving a price for our home that was substantially higher than the asking price another Realtor had suggested to us, and our house sold in just three weeks. You were courteous and professional with every encounter, and we appreciated your personal integrity. Your promptness in returning calls was excellent. You kept in constant communication with us, which was all the more remarkable because while selling our house your wife gave birth to your first child, and then had an appendectomy shortly thereafter. Throughout those personal events your commitment to us never wavered. We found that quite impressive. It was a great pleasure working together with you, Mike. We would be happy to give a good word on your behalf to others interested in having you serve as their Realtor.
Greg and Suzanne Golden: Arcadia Ca.
Please find attached the subject letter of recommendation. You did a great job for us and we really appreciated the effort you put into the sales procedure. Much success in your career.
Dear Mike: We are finally getting settled here in Texas and slowly things are starting to fall in a routine. Thinking back to the sale of our home in Sierra Madre, we would like to let you know how well we thought you handled the whole procedure with all the details. It was done in a business like and pleasant manner. You stuck to your plan and it worked out perfectly. Thanks so much, Mike.
Ron and Inge Smith: Sierra Madre Ca.
"In all transactions Michael was organized, thorough, and personable. He offered us an objective viewpoint on each house we toured, thereby helping us with our decisions. We found him to be knowledgeable about aspects of realty that surpassed just the legalities of buying and selling properties, and furthermore we were consistently impressed by his willingness to research questions he couldn’t answer right away. He was always expedient in returning our calls, searching for properties, and setting up tours. We would (and do!) recommend Michael to anyone, without reservation. No matter how large or small the transaction, he is dedicated to making his customers happy. He is also a wonderful husband and father, and we are proud to be able to call him a friend"
Mr. & Mrs. George Rappard: La Canada Ca.
"Thank you for not trying to sell us every home we looked at, as some Realtors do. We liked the way you let the home sell itself and never tried to push us into making an offer."
David & Amy Horning: Sierra Madre Ca.
"I had many interviews with Realtors before you, I just felt like another number to them. You were very through and committed to your job"
Scott Weston: Sierra Madre Ca.
I highly recommend Mike Paris to anyone invested in receiving quality service. He is straight forward, honest, and knowledgeable. He knows what he is doing in a field seemingly inundated with novice Realtors more concerned about their bottom line than their client’s best interest
Kevin Rice: Monrovia Ca.
"We would like to take this opportunity to express our complete gratitude with the integrity and professionalism displayed by Mike Paris. Our experience with Mike and Coldwell Banker has been extremely positive. We would highly recommend him as an agent who gives 110% to his client''s"
Jennifer Paulick and Jason Hart: Pasadena Ca.
Hello Michael and Michelle,
We would like to thank you for assisting us in buying our first home. This was such a crazy process and experience, but both of you made it all more bearable! We would like to commend both of you on your hard work, experience, and "top notch customer service" you extended to us in this home buying process. Thank you for always promptly returning my calls (no matter what time or crazy questions I had). Both of you are excellent realtors that I would highly recommend to all my friends looking to buy a home. I have given a few friends your business cards. Please take care of them, like you have taken care of us!
Happy New Home Owners,
Diane Woo: Alhambra, CA.
"Today my mother''s home closes escrow, and I wanted to let you know how much my sister and I appreciated the way you handled the sale of her home in Sierra Madre. We are very glad that we chose you to be the agent to sell our beloved mother''s home. Thank you again for all your hard work and helpfulness"
Judith Todd, Ph.D. Sierra Madre Ca.
Since I started to work with you from the beginning of this year, you have become more and more like a friend to me rather than just a real estate agent. I had to move my home twice during this year, and you were one of the people who helped me the most to get through the difficulties of these transitions. Aside from the high level of professionalism and the quality of integrity that you have demonstrated through out of your work, I was most impressed with the effort you put in to understand what was that I really looked for in searching the home for my family of three. Even though I came from a totally different culture background, I did not feel this difficulty (which I usually felt when talking to many people who speaks English only) in communicating with you. This is why I decided to go with you without switching to an agent who speaks Chinese as well. As a result, you showed me the perfect house in San Marino in less than two months, kept making effort to impress the seller even when we were almost losing, and finally won the deal among 6 other competitors. It was such an excellent job!
Ying Ma: San Marino Ca.
Thank you for helping us to find (and actually buy!) our wonderful new home. We were definitely influenced by some of the homes you introduced us to in the very beginning of our search, that enabled us to recognize "the one" thank you again and again!
Susan & Jim Myers: La Canada-Flintridge
Hi Mike! you''re a lifesaver! Thanks for dealing with all the drama of new home buyers with such grace... you were great!
Armand & Sharon Baltazar: Pasadena, Ca.
Great job Mike, we will recommend your services to our friends!
Jeremy & Rose Ghattas Bizon: Pasadena Ca.
Hi Michael and Michelle,
Things finally came to an end. It's been a great experience working with you, You were patient through the whole process and gave us good suggestions. We've also learned a lot from you that will help us in future purchases. We will definitely keep you in mind when we look for us next house.
Thank you so much! Joe and Selina
