Dear Toni,
Mike and I want to thank you for all that you did to make the purchase of our new home possible. To be honest, before we decided to contact any real estate agent, we were a little nervous that we might experience someone who is more concerned about their commission and making that big sale than ensuring we get the right house.
Thankfully, Mike’s sister recommended that we drop you an email. What we found was a real estate agent who really cares about what’s best for us. You listened and asked good questions that helped us get to the root of what we were looking for. When we asked you tough questions about the house or the transaction, you were honest with your responses.We never felt like you were telling us something just to get the sale.
If that weren’t enough, you did tons of research based on what you had learned from us about what we were looking for. You reminded us of the importance of having enough information to make a good decision. When the time came to have a look at the house we bought, you walked with me for hours through its rooms and corridors. You measured rooms and even made a sketch of the layout of the house so Mike, who wasn’t able to be there, could get an idea of what it looked like.
Once we made the decision to make an offer, you kept late hours with me to make sure we had all our t’s crossed and all our i’s dotted. You kept Mike in the loop by making phone calls and sending emails. And, once things got rolling, you continued excellent service with fast response times when we had questions. It was easy to trust you as our representative in the whole process because you had invested so much of yourself into ensuring our happiness.
Making such a large purchase from such a long distance can be overwhelming. You made it easy because you continued to check up on things all the way through closing. You also kept us informed as you went along. Your honesty and integrity gave us a peace of mind and simply made such a large transaction very easy.
So, Toni, thank you for everything. Mike and I will definitely recommend you to others looking for a real estate agent. We’ve never met an agent so ready to do whatever it takes to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of their clients.
Our Best Wishes Always,
Sherry and Mike Dryja
We have not yet met Toni Wellman, yet feel very comfortable recommending her and her agency for anyone relocating to the greater Phoenix area. Let me explain.
When my company decided I was to be relocated from Virginia to Arizona, we needed to move quickly to avoid too much disruption to our children and their school schedules. In a matter of four weeks we searched, found, closed on and moved into a home in Chandler, Arizona. This is an exceptionally daunting task under any circumstance, but one that was accomplished smoothly, despite the long distance nature of this whole transaction. Amazingly, there were no issues and all timelines happened as planned. There is no doubt that Toni’s attention to detail and professionalism played a huge part in making this go as smoothly as it did.
Aside from the professional execution of this endeavor, we found Toni to be friendly, attentive, caring and very patient, answering our hundreds of questions about Arizona, their school systems, services, etc.
If you are relocating to the Phoenix area, we wholeheartedly and sincerely recommend Toni and her team!
Sincerely,
August Zumbühl
5/2007 Although we were thousands of miles away in England, Toni created a working environment which made us feel we were there with her in Arizona. Whether it be photographs, site plans, contacts for anything and everything imaginable Toni co-ordinated the entire operation - nothing was too much for Toni, always ultra professional, punctual, responsive the superlatives go on & on. In summary, if you are an international buyer looking to purchase a property in the Valley of the Sun look no further than Toni Wellman - we would not hesitate to work with her again'.

'The thought of buying a home in the USA was a daunting prospect until that is, we were introduced to Toni Wellman. We cannot overstate what a pleasure it was to have Toni working for us in Arizona - as an international buyer the ease by which she maneuvered throughout the house buying process, whether that be administrative, legal or regulatory was quite simply put... amazing!

When I was a first-time homebuyer, her guidance through the process was invaluable. She was always very responsive and able to answer my questions. I could tell that she had developed solid relationships with lenders, appraisers and the myriad of vendors that you must deal with in the purchase/sale of a home.
I also know Toni on a business level and can tell you that she is extremely professional and trustworthy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Toni to be your real estate agent.

Thank you so much for all of your help these past few years. When I was looking to buy my first home, I didn’t know where to start, but knew I had specific criteria (location, price, etc.) You listened to what was important to me and worked hard to find the “perfect” place. You went above and beyond in terms of customer service by walking me through every step of the way, and referring me to the right people for financing and home inspections.
When it came time to sell my first home and move in with my fiancé, I once again, needed your help. I received excellent guidance, and had sold my property in excess of my asking price within days.
With a baby on the way, my husband and I decided it was time for a bigger home. You helped us find a home that our children will grow up in. As usual, your attention to detail, your negotiating skills, and your professional manner, guided us effortlessly through the process. I will never forget the “surprise” you had waiting for me on our final walk through.
We would be happy to refer anybody to you in their search for a new home, or sale of their current home. We genuinely appreciate all you have done for us.

I have worked with Toni on 4 homes and she has worked with several referrals of mine. She is honest, direct, reliable, and is extremely knowledgeable in the industry. I highly recommend Toni if you are considering a Real Estate transaction in the near future. Sincerely,
Toni has helped me sell two investment properties, and purchase my personal residence over the course of the last couple years. In each of the three transactions, Toni has been professional and efficient, and made the experience simple for me. Toni has proven to be well organized, and has a good understanding of the process and likely stumbling blocks. I really appreciate her ability to deal effectively with all the details in closing a transaction, while still keeping me in the loop on key decisions.
Logan Weitzel- September 2020 As Toni is always prepared and organized, she gave me lists to help me understand the process of buying a house and of the documents I needed to take to the mortgage company to get financing. These were a huge help to me as a first time homebuyer. These lists also helped expedite the entire purchase process as we closed in less than 30 days. Toni’s assistance to me did not stop there. She recommended a terrific mortgage company, she set up the home inspection, and she helped me negotiate with the sellers after the home inspection. Toni was always more than willing to answer all my questions and was never more than a phone call away. If she wasn’t available immediately, she would return my calls in one to two hours. She always made me feel like I was her only client, although I know she was working with quite a few others simultaneously. Toni has a very good business sense and is well-respected in the real estate, mortgage and home inspection business communities. I have recommended her to all of my friends, acquaintances and coworkers that are considering a home purchase. I can’t thank her enough for all of her assistance in my home purchase and for being so easy and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Toni Velleman as a real estate agent on her professionalism, knowledge of the market and purchasing process, and her ability to interact so well with everyone she encounters.

8/05 Being a first-time home buyer was a daunting experience for me. Having as little knowledge about real estate as I did, along with the turbulent market here in Well, Toni was referred to me from a friend. I usually like to go with referrals as long as I trust the source…because then, the research is done! Going into this, I had to be extremely critical as I needed to learn and did not want to be mistreated. So, I decided to test drive Toni and set up a meeting with her. From the very get-go through the moment I got my keys, and even afterward, Toni has been there for me. Generally I would assume that all real estate agents are relatively the same. They interview you, research, show you some houses, and then help sell you one. Obviously this is true, but it is the little things surrounding the process that made my experience with Toni so wonderful. The following are a few of the ways that Toni has really worked to create an actual relationship with me and really get to know me: § She treated it as an educational opportunity and taught me a lot of what happens behind the scenes § She would always meet me where it was most convenient for me § She would drive me to the properties § She would call everyone involved, multiple times a week and keep me informed – even if nothing was happening § She would ask me questions § She even baked me cookies and continues to keep in touch I normally do not do these kinds of endorsements because I feel that is why people get paid for a job. In this case, Toni went and continues to go above and far beyond the normal duties of a real estate agent. She is fantastic, she is wonderful, and if I ever need her again, I know she will be there. Toni, thank you so much for helping me to begin this phase of my life. Gratefully, Patrick Dostal
She is very professional and knowledge. I felt like I was in good hands through the whole experience. As well, she was patient with me. She took time to educate me at every step.
Beyond purchasing the home, Toni continued to work with me afterwards to make sure everything was perfect for me in my new home. I would highly recommend her to any one looking to buy a home for the first time or the twentieth time!
Toni really helped to keep me calm during the offer and counter-offer process. Since there were two bids on the house, I was very nervous that I might be outbid. After the bidding war was over, I was victorious, and I know most of the credit goes to Toni. The rapport she developed with the seller’s realtors, as well as the counter-offer she helped me prepare and present, was definitely a positive influence on which bid was accepted. I feel that her warm personality and genuine friendliness when interacting with the other realtors truly helped me get my house.
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I write this endorsement for Toni Velleman as my real estate agent. What I write hear can only scratch the surface of the level of service and support I received from Toni in the purchase of my first property.
It's a good life!!
you. I wish all realtors were so dedicated as you. Hope we can work together again.
Toni,
organized and your follow-up was impeccable. I hope I get to work with you again!
