"We worked with Theresa Tuengel ago to find a new home.She was by far the most helpful and hard-working real estate agent we have ever been associated with. She was able to quickly assess our needs and then find many outstanding choices for us both in areas we had specified, and in areas we hadn't even thought of. It was a pleasure to work with her, and we would not hesitate to do so again.

"I would like to offer this letter of recommendation for Theresa Hill to anyone who is seeking the services of a realtor who will get results. My situation found me some 3000 miles away in Orlando, Florida with a house in Washington. I was faced with having to find a good agent from such a long distance. I searched the Internet and found a realtor whose sales record spoke for itself. Theresa Tuengel had far outsold the others that I had to choose from. I contacted her and she immediately went to work orchestrating the clean-up and repair of the property, listed it, and advertised it. Within three weeks we had offers on the property, and on March 11 the sale was completed. Theresa is a pro. The entire transaction was far less complicated than I’d ever imagined. Take my word for it: if you want to sell your property, hire someone with a proven track record who can get the job done. Theresa scores a perfect “10” as far as I’m concerned!

"To whom it should concern:
If you can guarantee that you will not have any problems in your real estate transaction then you may ignore this letter. However, if you know that there are a plethora of potential problems in any real estate transaction, and that you wouldn’t know where to begin to resolve them, then read on.
We recently sold and purchased homes with the help of Theresa Tuengel And, it is a good thing we did. We were approached by someone to purchase our home, and thus we could have saved a lot of money had we decided not to use a Realtor. But, from past experience, we knew that it is very risky to venture into a real estate deal without someone skilled in this area. Thus, we asked Theresa Tuengel to represent us (and the buyers) in our transaction. We selected Theresa because we wanted someone who knew what they were doing and was also superbly skilled in the real estate arena. No plain old Realtor would do. Theresa agreed to do this for a minimal 1% fee. It was well worth the money.
After our buyers were under contract, we set out to find our desired home. Theresa represented us on this transaction also. With the multitude of resources Theresa provided, we were able to find the perfect house. Theresa used her expertise to get us the house we wanted. We were in competition with another couple, but Theresa knew all the right things to do to make our offer more attractive (and it wasn’t to offer more money). The sellers accepted our offer, and so life was good.
Well, as usually happens, a snag happened. Everything was scheduled to close on a specific date. But, little did we know, our buyer’s loan would not be funded on time. Thus, our little dream house was in jeopardy (since it was contingent on the sale of our original home). That’s were Theresa earned her money. She brought all sorts of resources to bear so that we were able to close. She did the loan officer’s job for him. She got another loan office lined up to provide the money if the first one ultimately couldn’t do the job. She got us set up with another loan person, so that we could ultimately cash out the seller of our dream house if it was required. She protected the buyer’s of our home (in other words, she represented someone she wasn’t paid to represent). She was yelled at, hung up on, and endured a lot of grief (not her own fault) from the person who was jeopardizing the transaction. There were numerous other things she did, but we won’t bore you with the details.
In summary, we were glad, and fortunate, to have Theresa as our Realtor. We would not have our new home if we had any other Realtor. Again, if you think you can get away without any hiccups in your transaction. Then, go ahead, and try it yourself. But remember, you can’t stop problems from happening. You can only deal with them when they happen. And, it is best to have the best-qualified person to handle them – Theresa Tuengel , Remax Northwest.

"Theresa,
I just wanted to personally thank you again for all your help and assistance in getting our home on 5 acres sold!! While I know it was challenging with the first sale agreement falling through and the second offer never responding to our counter-offer, I appreciated how you kept on pushing ahead and getting the people and realtors out to see our house, and as the saying goes the third time was a charm! It is hard to believe that even with the first sale falling through we still got the property sold in less than 90 days! This is incredible to me since our property had so many potential hurdles.
I can honestly say that from past realtor experiences that you went above and beyond to help us get moved cross country very quickly and worked with us extremely well from 3,000+ miles away. I would highly recommend you to anyone who needs awesome, professional, and cutting edge service to get their home sold quickly, especially since the market is starting to slow down a bit. I wish you all the best in the future, and will look you up if we ever decide to relocate back to the Pacific Northwest!
Sincerely,T Weaver"

"I recently employed Theresa Tuengel to sell my home in Washington state. Based on my experience I would strongly recommend that you consider hiring her as your real estate agent.
I currently live in New Jersey so trying to find an agent that I trusted and felt comfortable with was difficult. I interviewed 3 prospective agents at the beginning of my search and decided to go with Theresa in the end because of her experience, qualifications, track record of success, and the avenues she employed for marketing her client’s homes.
I thought that Theresa’s recommendations were exemplarily, not only raising the value of the home, but making it significantly more attractive to the prospective buyers. The proof of that can be found in the 3 offers that I received within 6 days of putting the house on the market.
I thought Theresa was extremely professional throughout her employment. She kept me up-to-date on the status of the repairs and provided information throughout the sales and closing process. Never at any point though did I feel pressured to make a certain decision. She did a terrific job providing me the data I needed to make a decision and her recommendation, but when it came down to making a decision I always had complete control.
If I ever again am looking to buy or sell a home in Washington Theresa will be my agent. I would be happy to speak with you about any additional details. Theresa can pass along my contact information if you need it. Best of luck selling your home.
Sincerely A Gilroy "
