Hi Idy, I would like to take the time to say how much I appreciate your efforts and talents as my real estate agent. You have diligently investigated properties I have brought to your attention, identified properties that are available and met my needs and have been totally responsive and a pleasure to work with. Recently, during the purchase of my townhouse, you showed a knack for knowing even better than I did what I wanted. You went the extra mile to pursue an opportunity, which in hindsight, was a better value than the property I was immediately interested in. I would like to say thank you again for that and I will be eternally grateful (and better off) as a result of your efforts. I look forward to a continued relationship and would highly recommend you to others. Sincerely, Doug S.

Dear Seller's, I needed to sell my father's house, but lived over 3.5 hours away. Idy McMahon was recommended to me by a friend & I now highly recommend her to you. Idy handled all the inspections & repairs that were needed since I couldn't be there. She gave me excellent selling advice that was specific to the Aptos area. Through her expertise, we had an offer higher than our asking price within the week and escrow closed within the month. Idy McMahon can do the same for you. Laurie L.

Idy did a wonderful job in selling our condo in a very short time for a significant amount over asking price. She jumped right on the project and worked tirelessly to get it ready to sell. She had an open house and offers within 1 week of the date we listed it. I would highly reccommend her for any real estate transaction. John H.

Dear Idy, My wife & I would like to thank you for handling the sale of our home. It was a very scary time for us & you helped make a bad situation easier to accept. Even when we wanted to give up and call it quits, you always encouraged us and in the end you were right. We will be eternally grateful to you for your hard work, patience and diligent follow up with the bank. It was very overwhelming for us at times, but, you never gave up. Thank you for your support and we will refer you to our family and friends and look forward to the time when we will be eligible to buy again. Sincerely, R. M.

As a first time home buyer, I had a lot to learn. Idy went above and beyond to help me understand the process, making sure I knew what I needed to know. It would have been a daunting process, but Idy was always in my corner, standing up for my interests, and giving me excellent guidance and advice. At no time did I feel like I was in the dark about anything. With Idy's help, I found a wonderful home in a great location. The whole experience was very positive. Prior to being my realtor, she was my landlord, and that experience was also very positive. I would recommend, without reservation, working with Idy to do just about anything. You'll be glad you did. Idy McMahon is rock solid, dependable, forthright, fair, smart, easy going, and a very nice person. Five stars. With honors. Give her a chance. You'll be glad you did. Bret B.

Review for Idy McMahon: I knew Idy would do the fantastic job when she sold my home. Although I live out of state, the sale of my rental home was completed without any problems. Idy handled everything from the painting of my home, the redo of the tile in the bathroom to the cleanup of the yards and more. If you need someone who is timely, caring, trustworthy and efficient you want Idy. My house sold the first weekend and it was a great experience. I definitely would work with Idy in the future.

I decided to sell my home. I knew I couldn't leave it in the hands of just anyone. Before meeting w/Idy, I met w/other realtors & cont. to feel as if I needed to weigh my options to ensure I wasn't making a mistake. Right off the bat, I could feel Idy's passion & knew she meant business. I was skeptical of her strategy. The other well-known realtors planned to offer $100K below market value. She suggested to offer at its worth & bid up from there. Idy has this honest nature to her. I believed it when she said she's never sold a home at a price she was disappointed in & wasn't going to start w/me. She was right! It didn't just sell above the asking price. ldy was able to sell it above the price I told her I wanted. ldy truly made an effort to work w/me on my initial concerns & consistently impressed me w/her punctuality & ability to make this experience even smoother than I could have imagined. I can't say enough positive things about ldy. I'm truly thankful she was on my team. K. Smith

Dear Seller’s, It was such a pleasure working with Idy. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Idy completely managed the sale of a family property from beginning to end, even overseeing all repairs and upgrades. With her excellent organizational and communication skills we were always kept abreast of everything that was going on and what the next steps were going to be. Her positive attitude, real estate knowledge, and negotiations were always spot on. We highly recommend her. Karl & Debbie O.

To Whom It May Concern: When I got ready to sell my parents' home, I remembered the flyers that had come to my home. I liked the idea of having a woman realtor, and called to schedule a meeting. From the moment she came to my home, I felt I was in good hands with Idy and I was right. She basically held my hand through the whole process. My home needed a lot of cosmetic work to get ready for sale, and we were on a tight timeline. It turned out that I didn't have enough help to properly pack up all the belongings and Idy herself came and helped me finish packing on the last day. I can say without a doubt that without her help, it not only wouldn't have gotten done, I may have had a breakdown by the end of the process! I will recommend Idy to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home. She is a professional who very clearly know what it takes to maneuver in the real estate market. Sincerely and gratefully, Terrie E.

To Whom It May Concern: It was such a pleasure working with Idy. As a single mom and first time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and special needs. Idy was on top of all the steps and procedures involved in the purchasing process, answering my texts, emails and calls promptly and with ready information. Before contacting Idy, I was afraid my single income and purchasing window would discourage a realtor. She treated me as if I were buying a top dollar home, never once making me feel less important than wealthier clients. Buying my first home went so much more smoothly than I imagined and I have Idy to thank for that. Jessica H.

Hello Idy. I want to take a few mins. to express my appreciation for the best experience I had w/the sale of my home. From start, all the steps you recommended; starting w/inspections, etc. turned out perfect in order to move quickly when offers came in. You were very professional, knowledgeable, detail oriented, followed up on everything, including repairs and also the staging process. You are very reliable. I never saw so much effort put into an open house process. You have my gratitude for making this sale not only a best sale I could have had, but also an easy sale for me. I will gladly recommend you to my friends. You listed & closed my sale in less than a month (not a cash offer). I trusted you w/your opinion on the listing price & you got me multiple offers. Sale price was beyond anything I ever dreamed about. Once again, you have my gratitude for making this experience truly the best it could have been. Best Wishes. Sincerely, Silvana C.

I very much appreciate all your hard work & dedication. You are very knowledgeable & experienced agent. You were professional, responsive & patient throughout the selling of my home from listing to closing. You explained the different processes so that they made sense & you jumped in & did the “heavy lifting” too! I had a general idea of what to expect, but in particular your responsiveness, attention to the transaction details, & your knowledge of the listing methods were right on track. By that I mean, getting the termite and inspection reports in advance (full disclosure at the outset; I had no idea this was done before & not after a buyer’s offer), cleaning the house, getting the yards clean & neat, leaving other details I thought might be important out (e.g., re-finishing the deck; glad I didn’t go to that work & expense), window cleaning, power washing & all the other prep that goes into getting a house ready to sell. You did not waste any time! Sincerely, Linda R.

Idy, As first time home buyers, I must say my wife and I were at our wits end. We had a bid on multiple properties within our means, yet each and every one went to someone else. Then we met you, Idy McMahon. Your outstanding professionalism helped us find a home, then got us through the processes. You were more than a real estate agent. You were more like a friend. You communicated with us almost daily. When we had a concern, you investigated and were right there to explain the pros and cons thoroughly. We are so grateful to you and would recommend you to any and all. You are truly a blessing. Thank you. Sincerely, Owen & Chae Rin A.

To Whom It May Concern: Idy McMahon is an awesome Realtor. I have known her for over 10 years. She has helped me with 6 total buying, selling, and refinance transactions, starting with my first home. She is very customer oriented and dedicated to helping you find your perfect home. Real Estate transactions can be stressful an complicated. Idy helps with all the issues and steps so you can concentrate on your new home search. I recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area. Jamie Honnaker

Friends, It's w/pleasure & gratitude that I share comments on my experience w/Idy in the purchase of my home. As a first time buyer, I needed someone w/knowledge of the market, professionalism & flexibility to represent my interests. Idy is all three. She is the most knowledgeable real estate person I found while searching for a realtor. She was able to answer all my questions & concerns, arranged viewing of my massive list of interested properties w/humor & grace & was very forthcoming & honest when evaluating the value of the home I chose. I found working w/Idy a joy & felt she was there to help me during every step of the way. She emanates a sense of trust-worthiness that made me feel very secure during what is without a doubt a very involved & potentially intimidating process. Idy is a true professional in every sense of the word. She put my interests far above her own & had no problems working w/i my needs. I am very happy to give Idy my highest recommendation. Nicole J.

We knew Idy from her flyers around our neighborhood & decided to give her a call along w/a few other realtors to sell our home. After meeting w/everyone, it was clear Idy had the most knowledge of our neighborhood & the best game plan, so it was a clear choice...& boy are we glad we picked her! Ours was not a simple home to sell. We were moving to the East Coast in very short notice & our home needed a major face lift before it would be ready for market. Working w/Idy couldn't have been easier. She had a person for every job we needed done & they all did great work in short time & it made the stress of that entire process come down to basically nothing. When we went into contract, not only did we have one buyer, but several in the wings, as backup. Well, something went wrong w/our first buyer, as sometimes do, but in a matter of hours we were back in contract w/our backup. We got a price we were thrilled w/& never sweat about it. Idy had it covered! Thanks! Jordan & Tony N.

To Whom It May Concern:

If you are buying or selling a property in Capitola, Idy McMahon is the realtor you want to use. I got to know Idy from the postcards that she sends out.

I had a nice condo, being 82 years old, it was time for me to sell it. I contacted Idy and in less than 60 days from start to finish sold.

Dave, the goose man

To Whom It May Concern:

Idy was such a great asset in the sale of our house. She knew exactly what our priorities were and she delivered in a relatively effortless sales process while keeping us calm and collected throughout. She's a great friend, a great realtor, and we would highly recommend her to others.
Sincerely,

Doug & Trudy Schenk
