Lester,

Simply put, we could not have had a better home buying experience than what we had with Bond County Realtors. While their knowledge of the housing market and the transaction process was all first rate, it was the personalized attention that made the experience such a pleasurable one. They continued to provide excellent customer service well beyond the signing of the contract. There was not an instance when they did not immediately respond to any of our needs – and we did lean on them often, many times well beyond the scope of expectation. We love our new “old” home and our return to Greenville could not have gotten off to a better start. What began out as a business relationship ended in friendship. We feel very fortunate to have worked with and gotten to know Lester and the staff at Bond County Realtors. It is businesses such as Bond County Realtors that make Greenville such a great place to live.

I personally want to thank you and Bond County Realtors for all your effort in making the purchase of the Health Care Building a reality for Greenville College and the Greenville community.

You went way beyond what most realtors would do to improve the city of Greenville and the college.

I am the former owner of a property at 610 Ash St. in Greenville, Illinois.  I purchased the home in 1994 as an investment and sold it in January 2010.  Because I live on the West Coast I was very concerned about long distance arrangements and the need for a trusted and honest professional Real Estate Broker.  I went fishing on the internet and I got lucky.  I hit the jackpot when I selected Bond County Realtors from the list.  I did not have the opportunity to personally meet Lester Harnetiaux.  All communications were via e-mail, FAX or phone.  Before the sign went up Lester asked if I would like him to see if he could get the property taxes reduced.    He was able to have the appraised value lowered by 5 figures and saved me a chunk.  Lester is one of those 'i' dotting "T" crossing guys, very thorough and expedient.  I am pleased to recommend him highly as a top-of-the-line business man who was of great service to me.

Lester,

I just want to write a note of appreciation for your hard work and exceptional customer service in representing me with my recent purchase of a home in Greenville.  You went above and beyond what is expected of a real estate agent, just to make this transaction as painless as possible for me and that was no easy task considering I currently live 65 miles away.  I can not express enough gratitude for your willingness to show the house several times at the last minute and during off hours, getting the utilities operational in an expedite manner, arranging home repairs with a reputable company, and your keen eye in reviewing the closing documents that saved me several dollars in lender's computational errors.  I will definitely use your services in any future real estate transactions in Bond County and will encourage my family and friends to do the same.  Thanks again for your excellent service!!!!

Just a note to express my appreciation of the professional manner in which you handled the sale of my home after the sudden death of my husband John.  This is the fourth property we have listed with your office with you acting as the agent.  This time as in the past I was especially pleased with your attention to details and hard work.  Your efforts led to a fast and profitable sale for me, even in this hard economy.  You and your staff made what is a difficult time for me much easier.

When we moved to Greenville in 2001 we did not know anyone in town.  A couple of years later we purchased a second property as an investment but we had no idea what we were doing.  Thank goodness the bank hired Lester at Bond County Realtors to do the appraisal.  He took the time to answer our questions and give us pointers without knowing us or asking anything in return.  His knowledge of the Greenville area and the people who live in it combined with the years of experience he has in real estate is something there is no substitute for.  Since then we have been involved in a number of real estate transactions and there is a reason why the phone number to Bond County Realtors is the one I have stored in my phone.

We can't thank you enough for your help during this process of buying property.  We will certainly contact you if any additional needs arise.
