We have been observing his activity in our neighborhood for years and were impressed with his style.  We were not disappointed.  Ruben helped us every step of the way.  His knowledge of the local market and his unique style of marketing helped us sell our house in record time and for more than we expected.  Thanks Ruben!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From our first meeting with Ruben, we saw that his professionalism and expertise in the Real Estate industry is unparalleled.  His attention to detail and perfection regarding the presentation of our home prior to listing gave us comfort in knowing we had chosen the right agent.</p>
<p>Ruben&#8217;s network of professionals made it easy to get repairs done quickly, which was imperative for the sale of our home.  The work done on our home was executed flawlessly.   He consistently kept us informed of the status of requirements and offers.  His response time was impeccable.  Ruben would have answers to questions before I could make the first point of contact.</p>
<p>My husband and I completely trusted Ruben&#8217;s judgment and advice. In every counter offer scenario, Ruben&#8217;s expertise was apparent in the research he had done, allowing us to make the most informed decisions possible.  In addition, Ruben&#8217;s expertise in negotiation is superb, saving us much time and keeping more dollars in our pocket.</p>
<p>Ruben&#8217;s compassion for our financial constraints and us was a blessing. Ruben actively contacted our lender to keep them informed of the sale of our home to keep our home out of foreclosure.  He also offered personal assistance with other hardships he witnessed my family facing.</p>
<p>Ruben&#8217;s interaction with our children was always a treat.  Our girls loved to see Ruben and would get upset when we didn&#8217;t have to conduct business very long.</p>
<p>Ruben never hesitated about moving his personal schedule around to ensure that our home was tended to.  Though we were well aware that we were not his only clients, he made us feel as if we were.  Ruben&#8217;s unmistakable laugh and sense of humor kept our spirits up at every turn, which made Ruben an absolute joy to work with!  Ruben&#8217;s credentials, integrity and kind heart are what we account to as a recipe for success in serving us as clients. We are so proud and confident in referring Ruben as our agent.  We now have a Realtor and friend for life in Ruben Rodarte.</p>
<p>Ruben, thank you so very much for seeing us through this most difficult chapter of our lives!  Always know you and your work are not taken for granted.  Always, Mia, Brian, Kendall and Kori Burke</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We wanted to thank you again for all of your help and hard work in selling our house!  We interviewed two other agents besides you.  We chose you because of a “gut” feeling we had that you would be honest, straight forward, and someone we would be able to communicate with.  Over the next few days and weeks, our gut feeling proved to be right.  You always did exactly what you said and then more.  First, you were able to get us more than our asking price when making the sale.  That was absolutely great!  Second, negotiating a 20% discount with the escrow company as well as a discount with the termite company on the necessary repairs were not expected but added to out bottom line!  Third, you went beyond the call of duty when you stored one of out cars in the garage at your own home while our home was tented for termites.  That really helped simplify our life at a time when everything seems so complicated.  Helping us get rid of some of our appliances relieved our mind too.</p>
<p>We also appreciated the fact that you stayed in constant contact with us to keep us informed and to inquire if we needed anything.  Not a day went by without some type of communication.  You had our best interest at heart.</p>
<p>We also feel that you did a great job in working with and communicating with the other agent involved in this transaction.  One example was the quick escrow that you worked out with the other agent and buyer which was exactly what we had dreamed of to complete the sale in a quick manner.  You did just that!  Thanks to you, we were able to complete everything in less than a month!</p>
<p>Ruben, if you need any recommendations, we will be very happy to share our very positive experience we had with you.</p>
<p>Thank you once again.  We are in our new home and enjoying it very much in Kingsport, Tn.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Jim and Rita Hughes</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would like to take this opportunity to offer a much deserved letter of recommendation on behalf of  Mr. Ruben Rodarte.</p>
<p>It has been an absolute pleasure working with Ruben on the short sale of my house.  In this difficult and very challenging real estate market, he has been an absolute life saver!  He was highly recommended to me by a good friend; if I had researched him myself, I could not have found a more dedicated, thorough, and knowledgeable person to assist me.</p>
<p>In this tough real estate market, a lot of patience is required.  I continued to run low on this, Ruben never did.  He persisted and oversaw the sale, managing it at all times of the day and night (not to mention weekends).  He never gave up.  His expertise was absolutely invaluable.  He worked resolutely with me, the buyers, the escrow company, and the banks in a flawless manner, assisting all of us in understanding the complexities of the short sale process.</p>
<p>He has an in-depth understanding of the short sale of distressed homes and used this knowledge and education to move us forward throughout the difficult and challenging process of completing a short sale.  He kept me informed at every stage and more importantly, he kept the buyers informed so that we would not lose them due to the lengthy process of bank approval.</p>
<p>Mr. Rodarte proved to be a natural leader.  In the beginning of the short sale process, he came up with a strategy of the best way to present my home, what I should expect, and basically starting with the end in mind.  He completed an extensive market analysis of the home sales in my area and throughout Southern California, and knew best how to position my property for a successful short sale.  I found his enthusiasm, dedication, and professionalism both inspiring and motivating.</p>
<p>It has been a pleasure to recommend Ruben; he did an absolutely outstanding job in the sale of my home.  I can say that I have brought three homes in Southern California since I moved here 17 years ago.  I have had good real estate agents, but not great and consequently, I did not use any of them again.  I have found my permanent agent in Ruben; he did a superb job!</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Geraldine Davis</p>
