To whom it may concern:
My husband and I recently purchased our first home with the help of Sharon Riegert.  She was very organized and explained all of the intricacies of home buying to us so we knew what to expect every step of the way.  Sharon was always available to answer any of our questions by email and/or phone.  Sharon was able to make recommendations and connect us with an attorney, a mortgage officer, and a home inspector.  All three were just as wonderful as her and made the process run smoothly.   We strongly recommend Sharon to anyone who is looking to purchase a home.  
Sincerely,
Emily & Dana Rikli

Dear Frank,
I am contacting you to express our thanks (Seiko and I) for working with us as our realtor in finding our dream home in Naperville, in the Kin Loch neighborhood.

From the time we met you in late April, 2010 through Wendy Cox, you provided excellent information and insight to our home search process. The internet tools you provided us to narrow the search for homes were great. This was very important as we were reaching out to you from Singapore and needed on-line tools to overcome the distance and time difference issues.

We were amazed, during our short trip from Singapore to Naperville in May, how you smoothly took us through about 20 homes in 3 days and how you diplomatically helped us (maybe nudged is a better word) narrow down the search in a short period of time to ultimately make an offer soon after our 3 day search ended. Seiko appreciated your dad and colleague, Tom, showing her around Naperville, especially the Asian food outlets, while I flew off to foreign lands.

The best part of our experience was your always being there for us during our complicated international move stretching from Singapore to Chile to Washington D.C. and finally Naperville. You provided kind but realistic views on the status of things.

After our experience with you and Baird & Warner, we would gladly recommend you to others searching for homes in the Chicago area.

Very kindly regards,
Steve and Seiko Kreps

As first time buyers, my wife and I were somewhat naïve to the entire home purchasing process.  Some friends of ours recommended us to Sharon Riegert of the Passaro Team at Baird & Warner in Naperville.  Sharon walked us through the process slowly, ensuring that we were comfortable with each step.  Sharon’s professionalism and patience made us feel at ease throughout this very important stage in our life, especially during the current economic times.  Once we found and closed on our new home, she was upfront about the fact that sellers overpaid her commission.  Shortly after closing, Sharon ensured that we received our 1% rebate in a timely and straight forward fashion.  In this way, Sharon’s concern for our welfare was obvious even after the sale was completed.  Her services are highly recommended.

To: Tom Passaro & Team 
RE: Sale of Property
       2604 Wendy DR.
       Naperville IL. 60565

Tom,
I must admit when you informed us of all the things you and your team would do to close the sale of my
Home. I did not believe it. (However you proved me wrong)!
The entire Passaro Team went over and above to service and facilitate the sale of our home.
The ideas and services were above and beyond the call of duty.
I am writing this letter to let you and your team know that Jan and I appreciate the team performance and the
 effort put forth in closing the sale of property.
We will always give any prospective customer our praise for the performance of the Passaro Team.
As you know we had worked with another agent for about 18 months trying to sell our home, and I assure
 you, the performance of your team is far superior to any agency I’ve worked with.
You can be proud of the team excellence put forth by the Passaro Team.
Sincerely
Chuck & Jan Graves

To Whom It May Concern,
This is to express our appreciation for the real estate service provided to us by
Tom Passaro of Baird & Warner.
We had originally listed our townhouse with another agent, at a time of drastic change in the real estate market conditions. After several months of complete inaction, we allowed the original listing to expire, and accepted a friend’s recommendation of the Passaro Team with B&W. We were immediately impressed when we were presented with a marketing analysis and a plan to address the inaction of the market, and were pleased to sign with them. The “traffic plan” did increase the number of showings, as intended. We were further pleased when Mr. Tom Passaro visited us to present monthly updates on the showing activity. When the market remained in its doldrums, Tom assisted us in making timely adjustments to our effort, once with a price adjustment and once by the Passaro Team providing decorative staging to enhance what had been an empty house presentation. The end result was the one we had hoped for-the sale was completed in spite of a very difficult market.
We were very pleased with the service we were given and would be willing to give our
recommendation to anyone searching for good help with their real estate transaction.

My husband and I are writing to express our heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding level of service that we recently received from both Tom Passaro and the entire Passaro Team with Baird & Warner Real Estate in the handling of both the sale of our townhouse and the purchase of our new home.
 Our townhouse was professionally represented with a level of quality that surpassed what we had seen in the market. Our property was listed on the internet with multiple photographs that were professionally taken. Quality color printed booklets were also provided to potential buyers that viewed the property. In addition, a 24 hour toil free phone number was offered on the exterior for sale sign in front of our property which provided a prerecorded description. We were able to sell our townhouse in two weeks time. We attibute a great deal of this success to the excellent work that the Passaro Team did in the representation of our property.
Regarding the purchase of our new home, Mr. Tom Passaro was simply excellent. He far exceeded any expectations we had for our realtor. We were treated like family. Tom kept in close contact with us throughout the entire process. He helped us understand all the specific details of, selling and purchasing a home. He was available at any moment and was more than pleasant, friendly and accommodating the entire way. 
We sincerely appreciate how Tom helped us thru this process. His outstanding level of service and sincerity in helping us find the right home for our family was extraordinary and will be remembered by our family. He helped make the most challenging and stressful purchase of our lives thus far a thoroughly pleasant and enjoyable experience. Now that we are getting settled in our new home we will miss working with him so closely.
 
Thanks again Tom!
 
Sincerely,
Barbara & Francisco Escamilla

As first time homebuyers, we found the Passaro Team to be a perfect fit.  The Passaro Team quickly put us at ease as they were there to answer any question or concern that we had about the house buying process.  In the end, we were fortunate to have found the perfect home.  Even after we moved in, the Passaro Team continues to stay in contact offering support and guidance in any way necessary.  We thank the Passaro Team for helping us to start our new life as homeowners.  We would recommend them to anyone looking for a home in the Chicagoland area.

Dear Tom,
This is just a note to thank you for your prompt and efficient service in the sale of my home at 6S272 Somerset Ct. in Naperville. You were just as aggressive in the sale of my home as your were in soliciting my business.
I can highly recommend your services to anyone else interested in selling their home quickly and at the
 right price. Please feel free to use me as reference in soliciting other clients in the market place.
Sincerely yours,
John Hannon

“Working with the Passaro Team, specifically Sharon was a wonderful experience.  Sharon genuinely cared about finding not only a house for my husband and I, but also a home!  It was our first time buying a home, and she made a very emotional and stressful process, easy and stress free.  Sharon is extremely organized, and always handles herself in a professional manner.  She took care of us and always had our family's best interest at heart.  If I have any friends that are looking to buy or sell, we will give them your name!  We loved working with you! Audrey and Lee Rogers”

“I live in Wisconsin.  I had no idea where to begin when my father passed away and we needed to sell his home in West Chicago.  Thehouse had not been well cared during his illness. Sharon talked to us, gave us some guidelines on how to begin, went from room to room with us, and let us know just what had to be done to make the home 'marketable'.  She helped us get the house ready to be sold.  This was a very emotional time, and Sharon gave us personal support as well as her real estate knowledge to get the job done.  The first people who saw the house made an offer, and after several negotiations, the house was sold. This could never have happened so smoothly if Sharon had not been there to support the process.  Sharon is a great businesswoman, professional, and yet has the warmth of a truefriend.”  Nancy Hink
I would recommend Baird and Warner to anyone.
Thanks for having someone like Sharon available to help us.
Feel free to contact me personally 715-828-0269 or at the email address on the top.
