What My Clients Say

“Thank you so much for being a part of this journey. You helped make our dreams come true. There were some rough patches, but you stood with us. You gave us the knowledge on how to purchase a home. This is valuable knowledge we can pass down to Bella. We laughed, cried, and mostly had a good time. We hope to stay in touch. Thank you for the memories. Till we meet again!”
– The Smithson Family

“Recently my husband and I, as executors of my father’s trust estate, were charged with selling his home following his death at 95. Neither of us had had any experience selling or purchasing a home in over forty years and we had no idea whom to contact. It was our very great fortune to meet Mae Wandell, an agent of 30 years in the Danville area. Mae immediately literally took us by the hand and led us through the process of selling a home in the current real estate climate in California. On her excellent recommendations, we prepared Dad’s home, where he had lived since 1961, for staging, photography, listing, and showing. Mae’s instructions were direct, easy to follow, and perfect for our needs, and the stager she selected for showing the home was excellent. She also used the internet extensively, placing the home description and photographs on multiple listing sites. We had 9 firm offers within 10 days of listing. Mae used her skill and knowledge to offer suggestions and recommendations as we sorted through all the offers. Recognizing my personal desires, she quickly recognized my personal needs at selling my family home, and efficiently and skillfully achieved a contract with the buyer’s agent, to whom I wanted to sell. And then Mae took charge of everything else, advising us of dates and times of contract signing, sitting next to us through the whole process. She kept us fully informed at all times, giving perfect estimates of closing dates. The honesty and integrity of Mae Wandell must be unmatched in the industry. We are so grateful for her caring concern for our needs, but also for her professionalism. We could not have chosen a better real estate agent for our needs. We highly recommend Mae to anyone who wishes to sell or to purchase property.”

“This letter is to serve as a thank you for the service you provided us, as well as a letter of recommendation to anyone who would consider choosing you for his or her realtor. We were struggling for months with the sale of our home, and were coming under a tight time frame due to our new house being built out of state. We were uncomfortable with having to make the decision to switch realtors (who was a personal friend of ours), but we knew it was the right thing to do. The tough question was then, who? After our first meeting with Mae, we knew she was what we needed. She immediately staged our house, rearranged furniture in the family and living rooms, along with the bedrooms, brought in some of her own furniture and lights, moved pictures on the wall around, etc. NOW our house looked ready to sell! We didn’t think we’d make it, but we sold it two days before our new house closed, which was critical for our loan. The Buyer’s realtor was difficult to work with, and Mae had to steer him through much of the process! When problems came along, Mae was there to take the worry away from us, resolve the issues, and work at getting a fair price for us. We now know from experience, there IS a difference in realtors from negotiations, to administration of the many details, to connecting with us personally to ease our anxiety. Mae is the complete package. She is professional, friendly, and understands the importance of keeping the client informed of the details, yet not bothered by them, throughout the sales process. We are happy to recommend Mae Wandell to ALL our friends and family!”
