Hello Norm,
I can not express how sad we are to lose you as our land lord. You were
great to us, you were always nice as can be. And you fixed everything without wasting any
time. You are truly a great land lord. Thank you for everything you have done for us.
I really truly hope that Rebeca and I end up in another Norm Haley Property some time in the
near future.
Thanks again Norm,

Norm is a consummate professional: he
knows the market and pegged my home at the right asking price, even
though it was substantially higher than most in the neighborhood. Other
agents I spoke with would have had me list it at a significantly lower
price, in view of the purported comparable properties that had sold
recently. He was absolutely correct: I got a full-price offer within
nine days of putting it on the market. Aside from price, Norm is great
to work with. I was living out of town once the property was put on the
market, and he took care of all the details regarding repairs and other
similar matters at the house in my absence. More importantly, he keeps
his cool and works well with the other party's agent, even when they are
being difficult, to resolve issues.

Thanks for all you have done recently and
over the years to help me with my rental condo. Neither Kathy nor I
could still have our Southern California Real Estate without you. Your
expertise, contacts and plain old work on our behalf are tremendously
appreciated. You are also a good friend and we are very thankful for
you.
Very Sincerely,

Hi Norm
We have had a wonderful time at Myrtle Avenue, and are going to miss it,
and you as such a wonderful landlord. We have so enjoyed having you as a
resource, all your recommendations have worked out so well and you have
been very available to tend to any problems in the house or on the
property very quickly. The garden is beautifully maintained and always
looks wonderful with plenty of flowers along the front walk. We have
enjoyed living in Monrovia, not only because of the small town feeling,
but also because of the nature that is at your doorsteps. The San
Gabriel mountains are wonderful for day hiking and only a 5 minute drive
from Myrtle Avenue. We have so enjoyed having you as a resource, all
your recommendations have
worked out so well. We have lived here for three years and will miss
this lovely home.

Hey Norm...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, so much
for your extremely generous housewarming treat ! WOW, what a nice thing
for you to do. I just can't even tell you how much that means to me and
to Juan (who gets by on bills, paychecks and more bills). You are such a
classy gentleman, and of course, this is why we truly enjoy doing
business with you ! You are so ethical and knowledgeable. It's a good
thing these days to have such attention from a fine professional like
YOU. We look forward to more deals in the future...though at the price
of this one, it may be awhile !!! Thank you again,
Fondly and sincerely,

I just wanted to thank you for being such
a great landlord. You made it really easy for us to live in the house &
were so responsive to any kind of complaint. I feel like we really
lucked out & hopefully my good luck with you will continue in the future
with other landlords.
Thanks Again. Cheers

This letter will serve as a letter of
recommendation for Norm Haley who has been managing two of my buildings
for a couple of years.
When Norm took over the management, my 10 unit apartment building in
Monterey Park, California was in need of proper management of the then
present tenants, filling of vacancies, taking care of the poor
landscaping, and all of the deferred maintenance which the previous
managers had not attended to. There were several vacancies, and the
previous managers just gave the key to prospective tenants to look at
the units without supervising them. I later found that several of the
units had been left open by those looking at the apartments, and
luckily, no vandalism occurred.
Norm completely turned everything around. The apartment is now full, the
landscaping is immaculate, and we are slowly renovating each unit as it
becomes vacant. He also did an excellent job with my single-family house
I own in Pasadena, California, and rent out.
I can highly recommend Norm Haley without hesitation as a person of the
highest integrity, who is extremely intelligent, who is enthusiastic
about his work, is extremely hard working and diligent, and whom you can
rely on
without question.
If you have any questions whatsoever,
please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely yours,
Henry Tsutomu Tai, M.D., Ph.D. |

"I wanted to take a moment to
express again my sincere thanks for how you
handled the situation that occurred in your Hellman Ave. property last
Thursday night. Your prompt attention, your ability to get a hold of
someone
who could handle the circumstances, and your interest in making sure all
of
the details turned out as expected left me a great deal of respect and
gratitude for you and your business. When things became more interesting
Sunday morning, the same attention to detail and the needs of your
tenants
again stood out, and as before, everything was taken care of quickly and
efficiently".

"Dear Norm, We were finally informed
today, by escrow, that the Bubbling
Wells Road property has been registered in our name. Joanne and I want
to
thank you for your invaluable assistance, without which we would have
been
snared by the other real estate agent and mortgage broker into a very
unfavorable deal. We are very happy with the way things have been
resolved."

"I know it sounds contradictory, but
having known Norm in a few of his many
capacities (landlord, developer, agent, friend and car-nut!), Norm is
the
consummate professional whose word Is bond. If Norm gives you his word
that he will do something, it gets done. Having been in a business where
your only asset is your word, I know Norm's capabilities are rare and
valuable.
Case in point, the seller of our house conducted a "Sale by Owner". The
longer the process continued, the more bids the seller received at
higher
prices. Norm pressed for a two-week escrow (unbelievable!). It didn't
happen - it was only 12 days! If you have a chance to work with him,
please
jump at it. I guarantee you won't regret it - in fact, you'll enjoy
every
step of the process. Thanks again Norm, for making the potentially
harrowing experience of purchasing a house in a seller's market, a
pleasure."

"Thank you so much for all you
have done for me. I could have never done all of the stuff involved
in getting my condo ready. You sure do know your "stuff" Norm! My

You've been a super Real Estate advisor and friend. We are both so

"I want to thank
you for selling my house so quickly. Your Marketing
knowledge and experience brought me four offers in less
than a week. I chose you because you always answer your
telephone personally and I didn't want to deal with any
assistants or secretaries. I am 92 years old and have
lived in the house for 32 years. Thank you for the way
you handled everything"

whole new meaning to the word integrity. Representing us
both as buyers and sellers and you were totally dedicated
to us and your work. You were committed to making sure we
had a clear understanding of every step of the process.
You did everything in your power to make the experience a
pleasant and successful one." Betsy & Dan Lombardo

know how we could possibly be absentee landlords without
you! Thanks so very much." Madalyn Martinez

| "We are very grateful to you for
all of your efforts to make our housing desires a
reality. As our buyers' agent you spent many hours
showing us properties well before we had our former home
on the market so that we would become familiar with the
options in our price range in the area we wanted to live.
In the months that we looked you kept us appraised of any
interesting properties and were never more than a phone
call away. I have never seen anyone respond so quickly to
a page. Either you picked it up immediately or called
within five to ten minutes. I never had to go through
intermediaries or feel out of touch..." "Your knowledge of Pasadena and the
surrounding communities, your years of experience in the
real estate field, and your negotiating skills were all
instrumental in helping us secure the property we decided
upon. We knew we could trust your judgment whenever we
had questions and depend upon your professionalism to
guide us. While an anomaly in the crowded real estate
field today, an independent agent is a rare treasure.
Thank you for making a difficult move as painless as
possible.

30 years, and I can't imagine anyone being more available
or more helpful! Advising and steering me through the
unusual circumstances of the purchase of my present home,
and assisting me in every way possible in the preparation
and sale of my condo surely saved me from the turmoil
that many people experience in these transactions. Thanks
so much for everything! Norm, you are a gem!" Barbara
