Testimonials

Dear Chris, Thanks for the opportunity to comment. Don was absolutely fantastic, he eased my stress level by constantly keeping me in the loop and being very professional and respectful of my situation, Love the guy! "Don provided excellent service. He is knowledgeable, protective, and hard working. This was a particularly stressful time for me. Selling our family home and being widowed three years ago, I was concerned with how my family would cope. Don took such good care of us all, I felt very protected and cared for during the entire process. He was the ultimate professional, but very sensitive to our situation. I have already recommended Don to a neighbor who plans to sell his home next year and won't hesitate to recommend his valuable service in the future. Thank You Harriet Isaac

We cannot thank Don Bennetts enough for his incredible expertise and execution of the sale of our home here in Fallbrook. Our situation was unusual in that we lost our home in a fire in 2019. Having met Don before and knowing his background in construction and real estate it was a no brainer to seek his consultation and knowledge through every step of the way. He guided us through the rebuilding process even when we were not sure we would be selling it after completion. He calmly carried us through some stressful and complicated times and was very helpful in major decisions in the rebuild. He had no guarantee of our using him now or ever but advised us in making this home a ""gorgeous gem" in a rapidly changing market. We had 24 showings in 7 days and opened escrow in less than 10 with multiple offers. He was ahead of us every step of the way. We highly recommend Don and look forward to working with him again in the near future. We have never worked with a more competent and seasoned professional like Don. He is 10 star from start to finish.

Don is very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. Don knew
immediately what needed to be done to help make our house ready to
sell. He hand delivered necessary contracts and paperwork for us! Don's
experience as a contractor also helped in selling our house. We are
recommending Don to my parents, who are planning to sell their house
in Fallbrook this year.

It was a pleasure working with Don on our home sale, He is very professional and pleasant to work with. He was there for every showing. followed up with all potential buyers. reported back to us after every showing. responded quickly to all of our questions and concerns, and helped us to review all offers and negotiate terms. I would definitely use Don for future real estate transactions.

Dear Chris, We just wanted to take the time to write you regarding our experience with one of your agents, Mr. Don Bennetts. As you know Don has been working with us since October 2004 and listed our house in Menifee in January 2005. The market slowed in Riverside County, but we can't begin to tell you how positive Don has kept things for us through this whole experience. He has been kind, upbeat, honest and thorough. Although our home hasn't sold, Don couldn't have done any more to actively market the property. He continuously did a revised market analysis, kept us informed of surrounding sales and listings, and called just to check in on us. We felt he followed through on every showing and he obtained helpful feedback from those who returned his calls. He bent over backwards to get information when potential buyers requested tax, school and town information. We really feel he had done all he could do. On a personal note, we consider Don to be a friend. Our boys adore him ( Cole would greet agents at the door with Mr. Bennett's card) and he shows an equal respect for our children. Not only is Don an outstanding agent, he is a stand up guy and we appreciate his integrity. We'll be renting for approximately a year and then will enter the Fallbrook market as buyers. We're glad we had such an honest agent with us along the way and we thank Don and the Coldwell Banker Landmark Group for their time and effort. We look forward to doing business together in the future. Sincerely, Darlene and Robert McCabe--

Don was so easy going and easy to work with. We both really enjoyed
working with Don.

As a professional, we’d rate Don, par-excellence ... as a person, he’ll be your new best friend! He listens carefully to your vision of a new home, location and lifestyle you’re seeking...and then works tirelessly to make your dream come true. We had complete trust and confidence that Don’s highest priority was to be our advocate and protector. When seas got rough...as they always do...he was our calm in the storm. We are happy beyond words to now have the keys to the perfect home in which to live the next exciting chapter of our lives! Thank you Don

Don Bennetts was an absolute delight! We could not have asked for a better Realtor. He was professional, flexible, communicated well with us, was easy-going, and kind hearted. As a young, growing family and being first-time home buyers, the process can be a bit stressful. Don was always available to talk and answer our many questions. His main goal throughout the entire home buying process was to look out for our best interest. Don put our minds at ease. We appreciated all of his hard work in making our dream come true. We look forward to working with Don again in the future, to find my ideal business property. We plan on referring friends and family looking for a Realtor in the area over to Don. We have nothing but great things to say about Don Bennetts!

Don was always available and kept us totally up to date by phone, emails, and personal contact. We communicated on a daily basis, not only did he have a superior knowledge of real estate, he was also able to explain it in a clear, concise method. The multitude of documents were always clearly explained and in person for clear communication. There was no question of his realization that this was a significant event in our lives. Don was a personal friend prior to this transaction but his approach is what sold us. We couldn't have been happier! See attached letter: Dear Chris, We are happy to complete your customer opinion survey and glad to see that you follow up on your agent's actions and capabilities to ensure quality representation. Fortunately, this is an easy follow up letter to write! Don was excellent in all regards to our real estate transaction. Your question #11, " How did you happen to choose our agent" is an important thought process for sellers. We have known Don for over fifteen years and know of him as a warm, caring, intelligent individual who is trustworthy and honest. So, as we decided to list our home, we naturally wanted to interview him, but with such a significant transaction in our lives taking place, friendship would have to be tempered with our desire to get the best agent that we could get, we could not afford less. We invited Don to our home to discuss the listing and he excelled in building our confidence through his marketing strategy, his awareness and manner in listening to our needs, and his overall excellence in real estate knowledge and practices. We were sold and never regretted the choice for a moment. We were also asking a higher price for our home than current comps in the area so my wife and I were not only concerned for our ability to sell the home, but also for the cost to Don for his marketing to sell this home. We explained this to him and he did not hesitate to put our concerns at ease. So naturally, we were elated that we sold the home in two days to all cash buyers who also happened to be real estate brokers and closed the deal in approximately three weeks. We got all we needed out of the transaction, including the ability to rent back for up to two months if needed to find another home. One other story that also shows Don's professionalism is regarding the buyer's home inspection evaluation, done by a very thorough, comprehensive inspector while the buyers, my wife, myself and Don waited for the completion of the inspection and subsequent report. This inspector took approximately 5 hours to inspect every aspect of our home, a time frame that as we understand it, is usually done in 2 hours. Well, just as we all appreciate a comprehensive evaluation, a significant time frame ( five hours) like this can impact our lives also. In this particular case, it was Don's wedding anniversary on that day and he and his wife had plans to celebrate the occasion. As two, then three and four hours passed, and it appeared that the inspector was not going to find anything of substance in his report, the buyers and ourselves encouraged Don to leave and go enjoy his anniversary. Well, we failed in getting him to leave with his statement, " I want to be here until it's completed", and he stayed through the last of the five hours without a whimper. Very nice! On a side note, during our purchase of a home in Fountain Valley, CA, we regularly would consult Don to ensure we were proceeding in the most effective manner and he did not hesitate to provide solid, constructive input into our purchase process. To close, we would not hesitate to use Don again for our real estate needs and would recommend him without reservation to family and friends for theirs. With true appreciation of a job well done, Charles and Janis Reynolds

Don really went to bat for us. This process was somewhat confusing for
me but Don made it seem like it was going to work out, and it did. I was
juggling many different issues during this time and Don was more than
willing to work with me and always readily available.

Don Bennett's was a Godsend to me. As a woman all on her own, Don
walked me through every phase. Even after escrow closed he still is
helping me. I would recommend Don to anyone. Don is a very nice man
and knows so much about the construction aspect, he was so great to
work with.

Don is awesome! He works hard for his clients and is one of the best real estate agents out there. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable and makes the transaction super easy. I highly recommend him whether you are buying or selling.

I had the pleasure of watching Don's Real Estate expertise in action recently when I asked him to list my home in Fallbrook.

Always calm and responsive. extremely knowledgeable and ever available, a wealth of suggestions and references. when needed, Don listed and sold my home within a week for Over 112% of the asking price, Needless to say. would most definitely recommend his real estate services and skills.

A friend recommended Don to me; he had helped her mom and they had been very happy with him. Our relationship began with him giving me a ride home from the mechanic; that flexible helpfulness continued throughout our seller/realtor connection. He and his wife went so far above and beyond the norm; I was out of state; they helped me know what to do, and how and who to do it. I felt so protected and confident that he was working in everyone’s best interests; mine, and my buyer’s. He really knows what sellers need and what buyers want, and cheerfully achieves both, so everyone is happy and pleased at the outcomes. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
