"Lois Knighton did the impossible - found us a house we loved (and could afford!) in a great neighborhood in Los Angeles - on the first day of looking, no less! Lois combines a shrewd business mind and detailed knowledge of neighborhoods with Southern hospitality and a protective maternal instinct. As first-time home buyers, my wife and I were blessed to have found such a trustworthy, knowledgeable and savvy negotiator and advocate. Thank you, Lois"

Dear Lois:
Please let this letter serve to document the services you have performed for us in various residential real estate transactions over the last ten years:
* Represented us or our immediate family members as real estate agent in seven successful-completed transactions in which we were buyer or seller.
* Your approach to each situation was highly professional and you provided us with the type of market analysis that made us comfortable with each transaction as to location, property pricing, etc. We believe that your knowledge of the San Fernando Valley area real estate market and residential neighborhoods is excellent.
* You follow through on all the transactions during the escrows to insure that they moved quickly and were properly documented, so as to protect us from potential future problems; and we appreciated your willingness to hold the other parties, including escrows, to agreed-upon terms when, in certain instances, other parties wanted to "cut corners" in order to get closed.
We are happy to recommend you as real estate agent to any prospective buyer or seller of residential real estate.
Yours very truly, Ed & Judy Elliot Sherman Oaks, California

Dear Lois,
I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated the wonderful job you did in selling my house in Encino, You not only brought me multiple offers, you advised me on the best offer to accept based on your long history in the real estate business, experience and general knowledge of the market. Your negotiation skills, I believe, brought me the right price for this property. During the escrow period you helped me secure needed permits for work done on the property, which I would have had difficulty doing on my own. Your advice made this deal close on time and in an acceptable manner to all parties invovled. You were an invaluable part in selling this house for me.
I would certainly recommend you and your office to any of your prospective clients, as well as friends and family.
Very truly yours, Joyce E. Gans Sherman Oaks, California

Dear Mr. Katz, manager of the Coldwell Banker, Encino,
Thanks to Lois Knighton of your office, my condominium in Studio City sold recently. Lois was a wonderful asset to have as my realtor. Not only did she handle my sale in a professional and calm manner, but she is friendly and personable as well.
My new job in Newport Beach required me to move to Orange County and I needed to sell my home quickly in order to purchse a new home in Irvine. The realtor representing my buyer did not adequately perform her responsibilities and Lois went above and beyond the call of her duties and handled both jobs beautifully in order to close the sale.
There are so many uncertainties with starting a new job, selling a home, buying a home, and living in temporary housing between closings that it was a very stressful time for me. I feel blessed to have had Lois on my side. Lois is both honest and a giving individual and she put me at ease with the escrow process. She handled the negotiating details beautifully, and persitently monitored the escrow process all the way to closing. She kept me posted on every development. I am so grateful for her support, kindness and professional work ethic.
I feel honored to have had her work with me on my home, and am proud to call her my friend.
