Voted Top 3 Favorite Metro East Agents in the Suburban Journal's "Best of 2007" and “Best of 2008” Readers Poll

Every week I get thank you cards and letters from clients, some that I have shared with you. And every time I get a card or letter it makes me feel even better about what I do and how I do it.

I work very hard for my clients and always strive to do the right thing. I don’t do it for the recognition or awards, I do it because that’s what my clients need and expect. Just a simple thank you from a client is in itself very rewarding.

Now imagine my surprise when I got a phone call from the Suburban Journal’s staff informing me that I was selected in the top 3 Favorite Agents in the paper’s “Best Of 2007” and again in the “Best Of 2008” Readers Poll.

Again, I don’t work as hard as I do for the recognition. I do it because it’s right. To be recognized with this honor is beyond flattering. It is a great honor to be recognized not only by my clients, but the readers of the Suburban Journal as well. To all those who voted for me, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!



Dear Tammy,

On behalf of the Board of Education, Administration, Staff and Students of the Collinsville Area Vocational Building Trades program, thank you for the time and energy you put forth in selling our building trades house. In addition, I can't thank you enough for the donation of your commission on the sale of the house. That in itself shows that you are truly interested in the welfare of the school, the district and the community.

I felt you were exceptionally professional and knowledgable of the real estate market. You truly are an exemplary realtor and it was our pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you on this project.

Once again, thank you for your time, efforts and donation of commission. If you should ever need a reference, please contact me.

Sincerely,

Dennis E. Craft, Ed.D.
Superintendent, Unit 10



We first of all would like to say what an amazing job Tammy Owens did for us in such a tough market. We have been more than pleased with her performance throughout the sale of our house.

Tammy is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She always kept us up to date with every showing and I feel this is better than most any other realtor in this area. Her performance is due in part to her thorough marketing but most of all due to her commitment to do the best job possible.

Sincerely,
June and Jim Hallowell

Tammy,

Just wanted to let you know that you did a fantastic job in selling our house. You were professional and courteous every step of the way, and made the entire process easy for us. If asked, we will highly recommend you.

Living temporarily in Marine, moving to our new house in St. Peters in 2 weeks.

Thanks a lot!

Dear Tammy,

Thank you so much for your help with the sale of our home. We never imagined we would sell within 24 hours of listing it with the market as slow as it is. To top it off, we never thought we would be able to sell for a thousand less than our asking price! Your kindness and professionalism are greatly appreciated.

Thank you again!

Tom, Laura & Jack O'Hara



Rick and Tammy,

We were searching for you 2 real estate people for over a year and had gone through 3 other agents before we found you. You are aggressive in your sales and marketing and know how to get the sale done. We are both very impressed with you and have recommended you on more than one occasion to other people in the area. Keep up the good work.

If you ever get a chance to visit the Lake of the Ozarks, please come by and see us.

Thanks ever so much,

Dear Tammy,

I am just beginning to settle down in my new place and I just wanted to say “thank you so much for the work you did on the listing and selling of my home in Collinsville, Il”. I was pleasantly surprised at the additional effort on you part that eliminated the pressure of the sale in a time where home sales have been at an all time low, creating a “buyers” market. You and your team at RE/MAX were responsive to my needs and created a calming presence. When looking back, the experience was actually quite enjoyable.

I specifically admired your marketing strategy…which kept me abreast of everything that was going on with the sale of my home from a showing, open house or just general information.

Tammy, from the initial interview to closing it was a joy to work with you. I have and will tell my friends, in the future, about your service and direct them to you. And I’ll personally be calling on you next spring when I start looking to purchase again.

Thankful and Sincerely Yours,

Michael A. Oglesby

Dear Tammy,

Thank you so much for the gifts as they have already been put to good use. Also, thank you so much for guiding us in one of the largest and most important decisions Stef and myself will make as a young couple. We truly appreciate all of your help.

Sincerely,

Dan & Stef

We thought we were ready to look for a house, but we weren't, and Tammy was amazingly patient and understanding. When we finally called her back, she was more than willing to spend hours answering our hundreds of questions and calming our concerns. She never hesitated to return our emails, meet us any time of any day, or reassure us that we would undoubtedly find 'the one.' Tammy was more than we ever could have wished for. Not only was she honest and genuine, but she was never pushy and always made us laugh. Viewing houses with her was like spending time with a treasured friend. She always made us feel important--she still sends both of us messages on MySpace! We can't thank her enough for her generosity and for finding us our dream home!

Jama F. & Josh S., Collinsville



Dear Tammy,

As I think about working with you during the purchase of our new home, I'm being completely honest when I say there was nothing more you could have done for our family! Representing us, being our friend, teaching us, devoting all of your time to us, I could go on for days and days about how wonderful you are! There's a reason you're one of the top agents in the area.

OK, here's the wrap up...When you look up realtor in the dictionary there's a picture of Tammy Anderson-Owens! Works well in any circumstance. The absolute BEST!!!

We Love You,

Kevin Bronnbauer & Jeree Kent



Tammy,

We really appreciate all of the time and effort you put into finding our dream home. We will recommend you to anyone who is looking for or selling a home. We look forward to having you as a neighbor. Thanks again for everything you have done.

Rick and Tammy,

Thank you so much for all that you've done for us! You have made buying our first home a wonderful experience.

Hi Tammy,

We want to thank you so much for all your help. Nobody can believe that we sold our home so fast(15 days) unheard of these days. We know if you hadn't been our realtor this would not have happened. Your marketing strategy was superior and you kept us updated on all aspects of the sale of our home.

Again we want to thank you for all your hard work and for letting us get on with our new life in Florida so quickly. We are loving life here..2.9 miles from the beach..life is good!


Sincerely,

Pegi & Dave Wilder



"Tammy was a joy to work with and has really become a friend for life. Tammy works quickly and gets the job done. We were able to close on our new home within 1 month from the day we decided to buy it. I highly recommend Tammy!!"

Gene & Lisa Halbrooks



Dear Tammy,

Thanks for your help in finding myself and Kinnedy a home to live in again.

Details of the Recommendation:

"My former realtor and still trusted friend had gotten out of the residential side of real estate by the time I needed to buy another house. Being familiar with my style and my demands, I asked him for a referral. His 20+ previous years in the business served me well because I was extremely pleased with the person he had chosen.

Tammy is an experienced, detailed and reliable agent that listened and applied my demands for what I viewed as the ideal home while staying within my allotted budget. Being that we were on a bit of a time crunch she could have easily strayed from my wants and needs to get the deal done, but instead she kept her nose to the grindstone and delivered the home that was a perfect fit. I would recommend her to any friend, relative or stranger off the street without any reservations."

Ian Noyes - Troy, IL



Dear Tammy & Rick,

I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for the wonderful job you did on selling my property for me. You are two of the nicest, most wonderful people I've ever met. I've thanked Dave many times for the referral. This card and gift card are just a small token of my appreciation for all you've done. Dave showed me the thank you card you sent him. He thinks very highly of you both. I hope you both can relax and have a nice dinner together.

Your Friend and Client,

Cindy

Dear Tammy,

The sale of my rental property was the first time I experienced a real estate sale on my own. You answered all my questions and my childrens too. You were helpful and reassuring that the property would sell and it did. It was a load off my shoulders. Thanks Tammy.

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did in helping us relocate and purchase our new home.

Laura and I have relocated to three different cities in the past five years and I have to say that from Chicago, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth you were the wisest and most accommodating Realtor we have been with. Your professionalism and knowledge helped make the transition seamless. (I wish you organized the entire relocation process)

Purchasing a new home is a very difficult and emotional process. When you throw in the fact that the new home will be approximately 800 miles away it really raises the challenge of finding the right one. I was very impressed on your follow up and attention to detail via e-mail. It was if you were next door to us in Dallas!

Your understanding of your unique relocation challenges was key in this transaction. I want everyone to know about your outstanding service and commitment to the customer.

Thank you again & best wishes from my family to yours!

Tammy catered to the fact that I was a first-time buyer and relatively blind to the transaction process. The whole process was quite simple thanks to Tammy
