It wasn't an ordinary home search; it was our 1st home.  Recently married and not knowing what to do or who to contact; what we did know is we wanted some one we could trust and who was professional.   This is the biggest investment we have ever made.  We didn't want to choose just any real estate agent!  We searched the web to find the right agent.  After reading numerous agent profiles, we chose Ben & Kim Boldt.   They listened to what our objectives were and helped us find our first home!  Now with a baby on the way, we're filling the rooms with love.  We recommend Ben & Kim Boldt to all our friends & family!    Thank you for all your help!

Dear Kim and Ben

"We wanted to thank you for all your help with the purchase of our second home in Tucson.  From intitially driving us around and familiarizing us with the different areas of the city, to recognizing the type of house we were looking for and setting up showings of them, to handling the negotiations of the offer to purchase, and finally arranging for contractors to take care of some maintenance issues, working with you both has been a pleasure.  As out of towners, we especially appreciate your help with contractors--finding reliable people, then scheduling and supervising their work. You have been our eyes and ears on the ground.  We can't tell you how helpful you have been. It gives us great comfort to know that we can call you for recommendations from contractor names to restaurants--even driving directions!"

Thank you

Scott and Genevieve  - Wisconsin

"It was a very pleasurable experience working with Kim & Ben Boldt. their service was excellent. We found a lovely home and we would recommend their services to anyone."

"After 4 1/2 wonderful years living in Invercargill, New Zealand – 10,000 miles from Tucson – Fran decided it was time to retire.  After much exploring on the web and talking to family and friends we decided Tucson was the place to be.  So in July of 2005 we got on the big bird for the 13+ hour flight to LA and eight hour drive to Tucson.  We had five days to find a home in the desert Southwest (we had to return to Invercargill for six months so Fran could finish obligations at the Southern Institute of Technology).  We were extremely fortunate to be introduced to Ben and Kim Boldt of Long Realty.  Over the five days they patiently escorted us to house after house that met our specifications which included single story, no steps and a lot size that provided exercise area for our two dogs.  They introduced us to finance experts at Long who guided us through the labyrinth of getting an acceptable, affordable mortgage.   They got us through a July houses inspection and an August closing flawlessly even though we were in New Zealand.  Following the closing they helped us manage the rental of our new home to the sellers for a period of six weeks – talk about absentee landlords.  When the sellers left in September, they escorted a relative from Phoenix on the final inspection required by the lender.  The Boldt's also served as our agent for delivery of rental furniture, computers and household goods that we would need before we and our container arrived from New Zealand.  They also provided all of the contacts we would need to get services like water, electricity and gas started.  They held our hand with the problems encountered with the pool and worked with the sellers realtor to ensure that the sellers paid for the necessary repairs. 

All in all, the Boldt's helped to make our 10,000+ mile move painless - no small task.  Their service and dedication to the welfare of the client (us) was outstanding and most appreciated."

Thanks Ben and Kim,

Dear Long Realty Office Manager,

We wish to inform you of our wonderful experience in having Kim Boldt as our Realtor while in search of a home in Tucson.

Ms. Boldt was very efficient in trying to locate the right place for us. She responded to all our email and phone inquiries very quickly.

We are relocating from Las Vegas to Tucson, made two visits and Kim was just wonderful. We were able to purchase our new home very quickly, because Kim took the time to make sure what our needs and wants were.  We are happy to recommend her to any other potential client as a superb agent.

Sincerely
Gladys & Richard - Nevada

After being frustrated by my conversations with three other realtors who came across as "used car sales persons", we were able to find two "professionals" to work with during our relocation to Tucson.  From the initial "get acquainted" visit to Oro Valley, to finding the home and working through an "interesting" transaction with the seller, Ben & Kim consistently demonstrated their knowledge, an understanding of our concerns and apprehensions and the highest level of professional services.  It was a pleasure working with Ben & Kim - the "professionals" in Tucson real estate. 

Bob & Griseldis  - Pennsylvania

Ben & Kim,

"Thank you so much for all your help!!!
I can't tell you how impressed we were with your willingness to provide information, pictures, area assessment, and on-line follow-up in our second home search.  I would never have thought I could effectively investigate and purchase real estate "onLine"!!  Your honest opinions and timely follow-up made it all possible.  You really did a great job of providing us all the needed information to make an informed decision.  Thank you so much for all of your assistance, recommendations and follow up!  We couldn't, wouldn't have done it without you!  We can't wait to have you over when we get things organized in March."

Regards,
Dean, Liz, Marc & Sue - Wisconsin

"Ben provided the highest level of professional services to help us find and buy our new home. 

He took his time to explain what was happening and what we should be expecting throughout our home buying process.

Ben is a true professional and trusted advisor".

Richard and Sue  - Arizona

"Please accept our thanks and gratitude for the magnificent service that Kim and you have provided to my family.
Your service went well above and beyond what one normally expects from a realtor/customer relationship and truly developed into a "professional and trusted advisor" role.  Your incredible patience and logical progression through the buying cycle put my family at ease during the process. Additionally, your business acumen combined with your knowledge of the area made you stand out significantly among your peers.

As you know, I set very high standards for myself as well as those around me.  You and Kim exceeded our expectations at every turn.  There may be two thousand realtors that have a license in Tucson, but there is only one that has earned and deserves our trust and respect.  You are a tremendous asset to the Long Realty organization and would be a terrific asset to their relocation division or any other position they might have available.

I trust that our relationship will not begin and end with the settlement of our new home.  If I can be of any help to you in the future, please don't hesitate to give me a call."

Warmest regards,
Jay T - Director of Sales- Western Region - New Jersey 

"Ben's fast response, professional service and keen advice during the purchase of our new home saved us thousands of dollars!  Without Ben, we may have missed this once in a lifetime opportunity."

Norm & Marcy S - Oregon 

"My wife and I have found Ben to be the consummate professional that we all want on our side when buying or selling a home!  Ben represented us in our recent purchase of a home and we found him to be honest, knowledgeable, conscientious, courteous and thorough with a sense of humor that kept our negotiations on a positive and friendly basis. Ben took care of us from the inception of our business relationship thru the fruition of the buying process and in the follow up work needed to complete the contractually agreed to repair work on our new home.  It was truly a pleasure to have had Ben representing us. He made a tremendous difference in the relocation process and we are sure he extends the same degree of professionalism to his other clients. We recommend Ben wholeheartedly!"

Sherl and Janet P - Washington 

"Ben was a beacon in the night during our relocation to Tucson from Chicago.  He provided the highest level of professional services from the first contact to the closing on our home.  Ben anticipated potential issues and communicated what needed to be done to resolve them. Ben provided timely communication on the events taking place and was always willing to do what ever was needed to keep everything on course.  He exceeded all of our expectations and made our relocation much easier. He is more than a realtor; he is your personal real estate consultant!"

Steve & Vickie - Illinois 

"Once we switched our listing to Ben, everything just seemed to happen the way we wanted it too.  Ben helped market our home in Catalina Shadows and got us into our new home in Sunset Creek.  His professional approach, responsiveness to our concerns, level of communication, honest & knowledgeable advice and a willingness to "get it done" was exceptional.  Clearly, Ben is in a class by himself in Tucson Real Estate.  He not only knows the real estate market, he clearly understands how to provide the highest level of professional services."

Matt & Katrina B - Arizona

"We feel very lucky to have had Ben working with us to locate and purchase our new home.  His high level professional service, knowledge of the market, sincere interest in understanding what we wanted and responsiveness to our schedules was outstanding.  His business consulting experience is very evident and his style is very personable and easy to work with.  Ben is an outstanding service provider and made our home buying process a fun and satisfying adventure!"

James P & Traci  - Arizona

"Service, Service, Service!  From the time we met Ben at an open house, to listing our home with Ben, through its sale and the purchase of our new home, Ben was there every step of the way.  Ben's professional background and experience comes through day in and day out.  He kept us abreast of the market, advised us on issues as they arose and communicated what needed to be done to achieve our goals.  We couldn't have made a better decision than to have Ben represent us!"

Doug and Linda  - Indiana

"Ben, thank you for all of your hard work on our behalf.  Your services were invaluable to making our relocation to Tucson a smooth transition.  We also appreciate all the "newcomers" tips on where to dine, shop, etc...  Thanks Again!"

Robert & Eileen - Connecticut

"We would like to express our appreciation to Ben and Kim for their outstanding efforts in the recent sale of our home in Oro Valley.  They both provided us with a continuous flow of information on each step of the home selling process.  As you know the paper work involved is selling a home in today's market is very involved and voluminous and requires someone with experience to handle.  It was a pleasure to have such a high level of expertise on our side which helped quicken the selling process.  Long Realty is fortunate to have Ben and Kim on their team."

Bob and Joan  - Washington

"We have been very impressed with you as well as the Long team's ability to make the sale happen as quickly as it did.  Everyone was so pleasant to work with.  Our questions were answered with professionalism and speed.  All of the contractors you have set us up with have been good to work with also. We look forward to showing off our place in and the neighbors are wonderful."  

Kate and Vern  - Arizona

"After renting our home for the past 2 years and living in California, we needed a real estate agent who not only could sell our home, but also bring our AZ home from showing wear and tear to a better selling condition.  We had a tight budget to work with and wanted an agent we could trust to find quality products at the best price since we needed to put in new tile, carpet, light fixture, not to mention hire the right staff to get it done.  They were our eyes and ears while we stayed in California.  We couldn't of done it without them.  The home was gorgeous when we put it up for sale.  It sold in a timely fashion and our lives weren't stressed out traveling 1,650 miles round trip to get the job done.  Thank you for making our lives easier!  We strongly recommend Ben & Kim Boldt if you're selling a home."

Kevin & Kimberlee - California

Good Afternoon Ben & Kim
