SONA CONSULTING ENGINEERS

March 22, 2002

Dear Neighbor:
We are taking this moment to write you this letter because we thought you might benefit from it We hired Ira and Carol Serkes of Pacific Union Bay Area Real Estate to help us sell our duplex at 2309 Parker Street, Berkeley, California and were very impressed by their outstanding services.

We live about 50 miles away from the property and our daughter, part owner of the property, lives in the building. Ira listed the property and brought in multiple offers in a couple of days after the realtors tour. We would recommend Ira and Carol Serkes for the real estate service needs with full confidence for the following reasons:

• They worked around the schedules of the occupants minimizing the impact;
• They helped us prepare the property for presentation;
• We liked the analytical approach that Ira used to value the property which convinced us for a certain pricing
• They are quite familiar with the area of their service
• They are well organized, computer savvy and their internet presence add value to their service;
• Escrow closed within thirty days and every aspect of the escrow was carried out perfectly.
• Carol did a marvelous job of keeping us informed through email and fax.
• Added to this, Holly Potenziani from Old Republic Title Company, made the transaction “click” perfectly.

Sincerely,
P.C.Chokkalingam
Property Owner and R.E. Broker
