I can confidently say that Bill Lasonder has been the most helpful and enjoyable Realtor that I have ever bought a home with.  Buying a home today was different for me than it has been in the past, and Bill was there for me every step of the way.  I can truly say Bill went above and beyond my expectations during every step of the home buying process.  I can confidently recommend Bill to assist you with your real estate needs!!!   Sincerely, Ryan Schwartz Chief Operating Officer Quench Fine Wines, Ltd

Dear Bill,   When I showed an interest in purchasing a second home in the White Mountains, I was given your name from a satisfied customer. I have now learned why they were willing to recommend you.   Your title is Sales Representative, but in reality, I never felt that you were trying to sell me something. You helped me with a tough decision on which property to purchase. I am extremely pleased with the selection which I have made.   Your attention to details and follow through on my behalf, from the time of offer to receiving the key to my new home, was unbelievable.   If at anytime, I can be of help to you and/or your clients please feel free to contact me.   Frank Hipp

Working with Bill Lasonder to find a second home in the White Mountains was easy and extremely comfortable. Bill is a true professional and does not sell but allows one to buy ..very refreshing in todays hard core sales environment. Bill was thorough, prompt and made the whole process flow smoothly and seamlessly. For anyone looking for that perfect mountain home, Bill will make what could be a laborious task tedious a real pleasure!! We highly recommend him!!!!   Tom and Pam Branch Tucson, Arizona

Bill was our Buyer's Agent for the past year while we searched for the "perfect" home. Bill strove to give us all the information we needed, while never being pushy. With our hectic work schedule, Bill arranged to show properties when we were available, which was not always convenient. When we finally found the property we were looking for, Bill was exceptionally thorough in making sure all the information and documentation was accurate. He worked with the Seller continuously to ensure a quick and successful closing. While he was busy working with the Selling Agent, he continued to keep us updated during every step of the process. We are grateful we had Bill as our Realtor during this endeavor. Jason and Heather Johnson Pinetop, Arizona

Bill represented us in buying a second home in the Pinetop area.  We were very pleased with his work.  Bill is professional, friendly, helpful and responsive.  He appears well-connected and well-liked in the Pinetop area.  He is hard working.  Our deal was unfolding over the Thanksgiving holiday, yet we were able to reach him even when he was out of town with this family.  Throughout the process, I was confident that he was looking out for our best interests, including helping us evaluate all the relevant factors and working to get us the best price possible.  Even after the sale, when he had already earned his commission, Bill continued working hard on the many details needed in the inspection process and making the closing arrangements.  My wife and I highly recommend him.   Steve Hulsman Tempe, Arizona

My wife and I really enjoyed working with Bill Lasonder. He is very knowledgeable about Pinetop-Lakeside and the people in it. Even though we lived 4 hours away he kept us up to date on new property listings fitting our declared criteria, via e-mail. We got to pick what we thought was the best to see on our short visits and eventually we found the perfect house. We love Pinetop and could not think of a better person than Bill to have had as our guide in house hunting. His knowledge, after the sale, in finding local trades people and local services is also invaluable. We gladly recommend Bill to anyone wishing to find a place in Pinetop-Lakeside.     Dave and Rosel Child

Bill Lasonder is a hardworking realtor who always kept my best interests in mind.  He was very instrumental in helping me make the move from Oregon to Show Low, Arizona.  He diligently stayed on top of the many forms, inspections, and other home buying requirements in a timely and efficient manner.  I always felt very confident that Bill was representing my interests in a competent and enthusiastic manner---something particularly important when I was 1,400 miles away in Oregon. Complimenting his professional responsibilities, I found Mr. Lasonder to also be an excellent example of character and ethics.  He is well-grounded and well-connected within the community, serving as a realtor, little league coach, board member for a local school, etc.  His care and commitment to those he works with and serves is evident and appreciated. I would recommend Bill Lasonder to anyone who is looking for a dedicated, sincere, and experienced real estate agent.  He will go the extra mile to get the job done. -David Stone, Saint Anthony School Principal

I would like to thank you for your service as Realtor in selling my Condo this July.  You were very knowledgeable about the market and prices and helped us set an appropriate price for our condo. You kept us informed on a regular basis until we had a contract.  During escrow, you helped us through this process effectively and also kept us informed every step of the way. Again thanks, you helped us sell our condo in a relatively slow market in 6 weeks. Sincerely, -William Meder

We recently purchased a home in Pinetop, Arizona.  It was one of the most pleasant and trouble-free transactions that we have ever experienced involving a major purchase.  We owe this solely to the professional, efficient and pro-active approach of Mr. Bill Lasonder. Bill was recommended to us by a local member of the White Mountain Gem and Mineral Club.  We contacted him on a Friday evening, May 28th and met with him the next morning.  Based on the criteria we gave him for our home search, he had already prepared a list of prospective properties for us to look at.  He drove us around and we looked at five (5) of the listed properties.  We narrowed it down to two (2).  The next day he drove us back to them, we made a decision to make an offer on one of them. By Monday morning Bill had the offer drafted and emailed to us for signature. Bill explained the entire purchase process to us in great detail and scheduled all the necessary inspections.  He provided us with all the paperwork, including a list of the utilities and other service providers with the phone numbers for us to contact upon close of escrow. We recommend Bill, without hesitation.  As a professional Real Estate Agent, he has integrity, works efficiently and has great follow-through. Sincerely, -Rick and Cathy Obermiller

Dear Bill, I just had to drop you a note and thank you for your assistance with our real estate search and purchase.  I do not think I told you, but I am a Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of a publicly traded company.  While that doesn't even get me a seat at a restaurant, it has put me in the position of dealing with a variety of talented accountants, attorneys and other consultants.  I can not think of a consultant whom I have worked with who has done a better job understanding, responding, executing, managing and completing an engagement.  From the day of our first call, to our visit to Pinetop, three days later, to closing the transaction in 22 days, your attitude and effort was spectacular.  We are especially pleased with your ability and willingness to assist us with all aspects of, not just the purchase, but also the numerous details to close the transaction and move in.  This was even more amazing given that you were in the middle of recuperation and had one bad wheel. Thank you for your professionalism, the sincerity of your interest in our needs, and the 'five star' service. Sincerely, -Les M. Taeger

Donna and I contracted with Bill Lasonder to sell two pieces of property this spring, after an initial interview, during which I decided he was the Realtor I needed to represent us. Bill had a buyer for the first piece of property within 5 days and at full price.  He even negotiated the splitting of some related fees, which was a plus.  The second piece of property, our home, also was sold for full price, through Bill's efforts. During this entire process Bill was always available to us for consultation on all matters concerning the sale and processing through escrow on the related properties.  Along with his professionalism and dedication to pleasing the customer, he became a friend who I can trust for referrals to competent contractors and other services we may need in our new home, which we also found through his efforts. All in all, it has been a journey that was made a lot easier through Bill's hard work and expertise. We HIGHLY recommend Bill for any real estate related transactions, buying or selling, here in The White Mountains. THANKS BILL!!! -Lou and Donna Wurst

June 28, 2007   Bill,   Dave and I would like to thank you so much for all you help and assistance in purchasing our condo in Pinetop.   Never before had we had such a wonderful experience with a real estate agent.   From our first contact with you I knew we had made the right choice.  You were so kind and patience.  We explained to you what we were looking for and you instantly sent us a list.  Your knowledge of the area and the market helped us narrow our choices.  After we had decided exactly what we wanted you sent us all the listing that met our criteria and we schedule to meet you on a Saturday to look.   When we arrived at your office you have everything planned for the day.  We were given data on each unit that we were going to be looking at.  As we looked at each unit you have valuable information to share.  You spent the whole day with us and by the end of the day we had made an offer.    Your guidance and personal attention through the closing was awesome.  Your assistance in regards to setting up our utilities, telephone, and other services was extremely helpful and proved that your service extended beyond just closing a deal.  We are proud to recommend you to anyone that is looking in this area.  Your professionalism, kindness, and patience made this purchase the easiest we have ever made.    Thank you, Dave and Veronica Harper

Bill Lasonder has been a wonderful Realtor!  He responded quickly to any questions that we had.  He is friendly, very knowledgeable and helped us negotiate a deal that was beyond satisfactory!  I have already referred him to family and friends.  I will call him first if I have any other real estate needs in the future. I want to thank Bill for doing so much for us.  We have never experienced such a personal, polite, friendly and knowledgeable real estate agent that was even able to help us from out-of-state.  Honestly, I cannot say enough about Bill.  He represents Realty Executives in the highest regards. He was always professional, yet warm and friendly.  We will always recommend Bill to anyone needing an agent in The White Mountains area.  He was always available and one of the best agents we have ever had. -David and Jamie Tomkins "Happy New Homeowners"

Bill, We wanted to thank you for all your help with our recent land purchase.  It was fortunate for us that we ran across your internet website and contacted you for assistance.  Your attention to detail was critical in making what could have been a difficult purchase into a smooth transaction.  There were so many things we would not have had the knowledge to investigate on our own and we sincerely appreciate your assitance every step of the way.  You kept constant contact with us and were always so easy to reach with any questions. You should know we will be referring anyone we know who is looking for real estate in your area to you, and in fact already have.  Our experience with you was nothing but positive and we will definitely be in contact with any further real estate needs. Thanks for everything! -Trevor Allen and Kimberly Kennedy

Dear Bill:  We want to thank you for selling our two 40-acre parcels of land in the beautiful White Mountains.  As a real estate broker myself in California, I know the difficulties that can be encountered in selling vacant land.   You were always available and extremely responsive.  Your dedication and professionalism are noteworthy and truly appreciated.  It was a pleasure doing business with you.  Thank you again. Sincerely, Michael S. Damron Beverly L. Damron Redwood City, California

We want to extend our sincere gratitude.  You truly are a phenomenal Realtor.  Your consistent patience and dedication to your job are so evident.  We never once felt rushed or pressured to settle for anything less than what we wanted.  We appreciate the (what felt like) endless homes and lots you continued to show us.  You definitely understand what the "Phoenix-area buyer" is looking for in a second residence. At times, John and I did not really agree on what we as individuals wanted in a home.  Your continued perseverance for this reason alone would warrant outstanding service.  But that was just the beginning.  You went out of your way to assist us.  Considering the fact that we have three young children, made things much more complicated.  I have to laugh.  Our oldest child, Joseph, actually referred to you as "Uncle Bill" when I mentioned your name.  That goes to show you how much time you spent with all of us! Our two transactions were complicated and time consuming.  We really want to commend you on your professionalism and being so conscientious to every detail.  These are character traits that are so rare today especially in the real estate field. Lastly, yet most important, you continued to assist us with your time and expertise even though our transactions are completed.  You have gained our trust.  We are "life-long" customers!  Actually, we not only think of you as our Realtor, but also a friend. Thanks again, Bill Sincerely, John and Theresa Gorraiz

10 January 2006 My family recently purchased a cabin for winter and summer "getaways". We contacted Bill Lasonder of Realty Executives and could not have been happier with our choice.  Bill took the time to understand our exact needs, saw to all details and went the extra mile to make our purchase practically hassle free. I would recommend Bill to anyone looking for a Realtor that is considerate, committed to service and a straight shooter. Sincerely, Ted Jakes

My name is Janis Lando. I found Bill via the internet, long distance. I was searching for a home, not a house in the White Mountain area of Arizona. I was living in New Jersey. Bill was the only Realtor that responded to my inquires. Long hours were spent over the phone and internet. You see, I had a deadline and had only one month to move from New Jersey to Arizona (I work for the Government). Wow, what a challenge to try and find a house for myself and all of my animals. I have a horse so I needed 3 acres and could only afford so much. Bill (very patient) worked diligently to help me. I chose a beautiful home in rural Snowflake. 20 acres!. A dream come true.  Bill was there from the beginning and is still there after the sale. He cares. He also helped me after the move.

Recently, my husband, Larry, and I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Bill Lasonder on the purchase of a cabin in the Pinetop-Lakeside area.  We had been referred to Bill by a friend of ours who lives in Yuma where we do.  She had said that Bill was her neighbor and a really nice man.  She guaranteed that he would be very fair and helpful in showing us all of the properties that we might be interested in within the Pinetop area.  She said that we would find it rare to find an agent up there that would do this.  Typically, an agent will show you only their own listings. So... we called Bill and made a plan to meet and he was everything and more that our friend had indicated.  Bill was very instrumental in assisting us with determining exactly what type of property would suit our needs.  He was very patient, an excellent listener and once we found the property that we hoped to buy, he took over and made it a pain-free transaction. Bill also educated us about many other things that would help us once we took ownership of the property that we were purchasing.  He was always available and very prompt to handle whatever task needed to be completed. We have recommended Bill to some family and also to some friends since we know that they will not be disappointed if they have the chance to work with him on any real estate transaction. -Larry and Sandy Pikula... Yuma, Arizona

Dear Bill... It was a pleasure working with you in our successful quest to find our dream getaway in The White Mountains.  You were professional in every sense of the word.  After an initial interview (mostly on-line), you were immediately able to identify what we were looking for, make the arrangement to visit the "possibles" and were available at our convenience. Because of your thorough analysis and extra effort, we were able to make an offer the same day and had our purchase complete within 30 days.  Further, we appreciated the fact that you walked us through the entire process to ensure everything went smoothly. Again... thank you and your efforts on our behalf. -Detlef and Sally Lange

Our name is Ed and Sandy Cesolini.  We were in the position to buy a second home for weekend getaways and vacation purposes.  We had searched the web tediously and found several homes.  Bill responded to one of the general inquiries I sent out.  He researched all the remote homes I uncovered and there were many.  We e-mailed back and forth as to price, acreage, location, privileges, etc.  After a couple of weeks, we narrowed it down to about five homes spread throughout The White Mountains communities.  He spent an entire Saturday driving us around the area looking at each home.  We decided on a 2500 sq-ft home, horse pens and setup, 5-acres and in a rural setting.  On October 7th, we closed on our vacation home. Bill is very relaxed and easy going.  He was very professional and displayed genuine interest in assisting us.  We were not just a sale.  He did not pressure us at all and allowed us to slowly work through the homes that would suit our needs.  He did an excellent job handling the disclosure and closing process to finalizing the deal.  I would recommend Bill to anyone who is looking for a home in The White Mountains area that wants a pleasurable and relaxed experience.  We are confident and satisfied with our home.  We are even more satisfied with our decision to have Bill assist us. -Ed and Sandy Cesolini... Queen Creek Arizona and now Snowflake Arizona

We were referred to Bill very indirectly and had no idea what to expect.   Soon after meeting him, we were grateful for the referral as it was obvious Bill was an ethical real estate agent committed to the best interest of his clients.  On top of that, hes a really nice guy! Bill patiently showed us multiple homes, providing guidance and local knowledge to help our decision process.  He was consistently available, responsive and always willing to answer a question, even if he had to research the answer himself.  Once we selected a property, Bill was instrumental in the purchase and financing process, making it as painless as possible.  Our mortgage officer complemented Bill as "a very nice man who knows what hes doing."   Bill continued to be a great help after the closing; much appreciated for new out-of-town owners.  He firmly believes in establishing a relationship with clients and we are proud to call Bill "our first friend in Pinetop."  Anyone looking to buy or sell property in the White Mountains couldnt be in better hands  choosing Bill Lasonder as their real estate agent. Sincerely, Margot Davis Chandler, Arizona
