Dear Choice Realty,
It has been my distinct pleasure to work with Jonathan Lee. He has been a wonderful blessing to me and our team at Esther Victory Ministries for Christ. When we began searching for a location that would be suitable for our outreach center it seemed as if we would never find it. We met Jonathan and he worked with us on a very personal level and helped us find the perfect location.
As we embark on this journey we invite you to join us at our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Grand Opening Celebration on October 25th from 12:00 - 2:00 at 1209 Central Avenue in Summerville. There will be lots of food, live music and great door giveaways. Please plan to attend if at all possible.
Esther Victory Ministries will provide emergency groceries to families in need, school supplies to children and help provide essential medications to senior citizens who can not afford them in the Summerville/Ladson area.

Dear Jonathan,
I want to thank you for your wonderful support and assistance in finding our new Charleston Office Space. We are all so excited about the opportunity to move into a location that meets our needs for space, visibility and a very professional environment. It was obvious from the beginning that you had our best interest in mind and were willing to work to help us find just the right office that would fit into our budget and meet our needs.
As a non-profit organization, we must constantly work to keep our costs as low as possible and you certainly helped us to accomplish this by negotiating a 43% savings off our first year occupancy cost, 15 days of free rent and a free sign! You also helped us to find the right space before the renewal of our previous lease which would have been costly for us. We really appreciate the opportunity to have new carpet and tile installed at no cost to our organization.
Jonathan, I really appreciate your support and assistance and would welcome the opportunity to recommend you to others who are looking to relocate. Thank you again for helping us to continue our mission in a professional, safe and comfortable environment.
Sincerely,
Cindy C. Alewine, CEO/President

My name is Jens Franzen. I am a chiropractor who just moved back from Ireland to the Charleston area. Even though the economy had changed here since the last time I lived here I was quite surprised how difficult it still was to find the right place for my new business.
I thought it would be quite easy to find commercial property but I soon found out I was completely off….at least when it came to Goose Creek. I knew Goose Creek was the area I wanted to open my new business in and I tried to do most of the ground work myself, demographics, looking at different locations, negotiating and much more.
Soon however, I realized that I needed help from someone who was up on the market and also could help me negotiating a good deal. I happened to get in contact with Jonathan Lee in January this year and he was very knowledgeable but foremost I appreciated his genuine concern to help me even if it meant walking an extra mile to get what I were looking for.
Jonathan helped me every step of the way and I ended up in a great location in the heart of Goose Creek. Even though it was some kinks which needed to be ironed out, Jonathan Lee handled everything with outmost precision from a business point of view and helped me to get what I was looking for. He also helped protect my interest in finalizing contracts, etc.
I would recommend anyone to use Jonathan Lee’s services since I feel he is honest, helpful and always willing to look out for his clients first.
If anyone wants to contact me further on how Jonathan Lee has helped me feel free to contact me at 843 437 5533.

Dear Jonathan:
We enjoyed working with you and Choice Realty. It was amazing how efficient and professional you were in regards to our lease. Within a week, you negotiated our lease, reduced occupancy costs by 21%, and provided our company with flexibility in terms of expansion and renewal options. WOW! Not only did you save us money, but also eliminated the hassle associated with real estate transactions.
If need be, we will definitely use you in the future. In the mean time though, we are recommending you to everyone.
Thank you; we couldn't have succeeded without you!

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter in reference to service that I received from Choice Realty. I chose Choice Realty to handle my real estate needs in looking for an office for my growing business. Mr. Lee was very diligent in handling my transactions. He located and negotiated the lease of my new office within 45 days and reduced occupancy costs by 20 percent. Mr. Lee also provided my company with flexibility in terms of expansion, renewals, and termination options. He was very professional and courteous when dealing with all my needs in this matter. I have been very happy with the service that Mr. Lee and Choice Realty provided me while searching out a location for my new office that was convenient and affordable. Choice Realty took the hassle out of looking for a location for my new office and provided me with outstanding customer service. I would highly recommend Choice Realty in handling any real estate transaction in the future.

Dear Jonathan:
I want to thank you for your much needed help locating office space during my recent visit to Charleston. It is very hard to find realtors willing to help find small office space. You not only helped me locate a space within one day, you took a personal interest in negotiating a rate that was 25% less than the property owner was asking. Also, your prompt handling of the lease allowed me to focus on the many other things that I had going on.
If you ever need to use me as a reference feel free to contact me or have any of your potential clients contact me.

Dear Mr. Lee,
I want to thank you, Choice Realty, and your agent Phil Hapke. Phil exceeded all expectations of performance as he represented me in selling my property. Even though the real estate market had softened, and I was admittedly trying to sell a good house in a tough market, Phil was there every time I called. He never let up in the quest to get my house sold. When we finally got an offer on the property, Phil nursed the agreement to closing even though at times we thought the contract was going to fall out. He stepped in to reassure the buyer's agent and met every challenge in the pre-settlement with professionalism and tact.
When I have another house to sell or if I plan on buying another house, I will call Choice Realty first.
Sincerely,
Jim Fuller

Dear Jonathan:
We would like to thank you for all of your help in the purchase of our first home. We appreciate all of the advice you gave us. Since we are new home buyers, the whole experience was new to us. We felt very confident all along that we had chosen someone who truly looked out for our investment and our future. We will recommend you to all of our friends who are also in the market for houses.
Thanks again. Please come by to see our house when we get moved in.
Sincerely,
Ivy and Seth Deitch

Dear Jonathan:
I cannot thank you enough for finding the wonderful treehouse (round house in Bethune, SC) for us!
After having had a very positive experience owning a vacation rental home, my husband and I were anxious to purchase another--at the right price!
The treehouse (in Kershaw County) is just perfect--not too far from home and in a beautiful hardwood forest setting. I don't think anyone but you could have found such a place!
I enjoy looking at your listings because you offer a wonderful variety of properties. Also, I like to see investment properties for sale in other parts of the state.
Thank you, also, for your pleasant and unobtrusive nature, professional service, and commitment to your clients. Working with you was such a pleasure. We appreciated your patient demeanor and never felt rushed or pressured. That means a lot!
We wish you great success and look forward to working with you again!
Sincerely,
Laura and Birdie Crosby

Dear Choice Realty:
Please take this letter as a brief synopsis of my past experience with you regarding the sale of my home.
First, I want to say that this was more than I anticipated. Not only did you do this in a prompt manner, but you were also very polite, professional AND pleasant to work with. My thanks to you and John for your expeditious handling.
Secondly I was more than pleased with the commitment you put in the bid and sticking with it. Too often people have complained about dealing with investors who not only make insufficient bids but who might later on decrease it as well. That was, of course, a very important factor in this whole process.
Needless to say I would highly recommend you to others who may have a need for your services. And once again, I want to thank you for your courtesy and professionalism.
Sincerely,
J. Washington

To Whom It May Concern,
In January 2007 I had the opportunity to meet and work with Jonathan Lee and Phil of Choice [Realty] in the sale of my mother-in-law's second [rental] home. I must say I have never had a more pleasurable experience selling a house. Jonathan and Phil made the whole experience very nice. With my in-laws in their 80's, they treated them with respect and made sure that this is really what they wanted to do and not just a whim. They also took the time from their busy schedule to not only inspect the house, but to go several blocks to my in-laws home to talk to my father-in-law as he is unable to walk without assistance due to serious medical problems. They wanted to make sure everyone was happy with the contract and results. Even at the closing they had the documents changed because something was not right according to the contract. If I know of anyone wanting to sell their home, or if I decide to sell my home, my first choice would be Jonathan and Phil. Thanks to both of them for the great experience. Respectfully,
The Powells

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Helga P. Sandoval, MD, I moved to Charleston almost 6 years ago and 3 years ago Phil helped me to find a house exactly as what I was looking for. Time has passed since then, the house became too big for me, no time for the garden, plus I needed a change and there was Phil again. I was thinking to rent a smaller place to move in, however, he advised me to better invest my money and once more, he found a perfect place for my current needs. I moved a month ago to my new condo and I love it..
Thank you, once again Phil!

Dear Mr. Lee,
This letter is to express my sincere appreciation for all your help in selling my house so quickly. In my time of need to move on with my life was greatly appreciated. The price was fair and the closing a lot easier than I thought. I will recommend you to all my friends of family who wish to sell their homes. It was a pleasure.

Dear Jonathan,
We just want to let you know that we appreciate the ease you and your company made it for us to sell our home. I know that with any other realtor it would not have been as easy to set the guidelines we needed while our new home was being built. You allowed us to stay in the home even after it was sold so that we would not have to look for an apartment until our new home was complete.
We would have had to do all of the necessary transfers of lights and water and phone etc...and pay deposits on an apartment. Which of course can become very costly.
We also have small children, which multiple moves would affect in an adverse manner.
Also the closing on the property was done with professionalism and an ease to get through. Although we as a family are moving on, we desire good things for the property we are leaving behind where our children were being raised. It has many memories. We are just down to earth kind of family and we feel like you were willing to help us at any cost.
Thanks again,
The Millers

Dear Johnathon, I would like to thank you very much, for buying my house on [address omitted] in North Charleston.
When I called another person, there was a little beating around the bush; if you know what I mean.
As for you Johnathon, you showed your professionalism through out the whole ordeal. That's what got my attention.
I would recommend you to anyone who is interested in selling their home or property.
Thanks!

Dear Jonathan:
When my son told me that he had called you about his problems with taking care of his apartment building, and paying the mortgages since he had become disabled, I had doubts that you could produce the kind of results he needed. I was relieved for him, as well as being amazed that you were able to accomplish the sale of the apartments quickly, at a great price, and that everything you said you could do, you did. In other words, I was very impressed.
For that reason, when my husband and I decided to sell our rental property, I called you for your help. You far exceeded our expectations. I really appreciated the fact that you dealt honestly and fairly with us. It's hard to express my sincere appreciation without "gushing." It has been so very nice to work with a person who is not just out to make money, but to build a good reputation by knowing the business and dealing honestly with people. I tell everyone I know about you and your Company.
Thank you for all your help. I wish for you and your Company nothing but the best.
Sincerely,
Minxie Edwards

Dear Mr. Lee:
Just a short note of thanks to you and your staff at Choice Realty regarding the recent sale of my home in North Charleston. Although we have been out of the property for over five years, my wife and I still had a lot of emotional attachment to it as this was our home for over twenty-five years where our children were born and raised and played with their friends. The professional and courteous manner in which you conducted your operations was most certainly appreciated and made leaving our old home behind a little easier.
I also want to thank you for putting in the extra effort to have our closing earlier this week. As you know, my wife and I are presently getting ready to go out of town and your accommodation to help out our situation made this previously scheduled trip possible. And, having concluded this sale before us leaving will also make our trip that much more enjoyable. I have already thanked the closing attorney, Mr. Fleming, but I also wanted to thank you for a very smooth overall transaction. I know your office had a large role in those preparations as well.
Without belaboring this any further, I will simply close by again thanking you and your staff for a job well done. I will be sure to recommend your agency in the future to any of my friends and family who are interested in a quick, but professional, sale of their real estate property.
Sincerely,
Mr. Clark
