Jackie P. sold a home in Menifee, CA

My friend/co-worker said she knew the best realtor in the area and recommended Destry after hiring him 20 years ago as her buying agent. I wondered how she vividly remembered his services? Well, fast forward to last January when my husband and I listed and sold our house with Destry and I now totally understand where she was coming from. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: - Destry is "off the charts" unbelievable in every way possible! - He possesses a calm, friendly, reassuring, professional demeanor - not pushy nor a push-over. - His knowledge and experience came into play throughout the sale of our house, especially when a couple minor issues came up during escrow. Destry knew exactly what to do and immediately took action

He is easy to contact and immediately returns messages - Somehow he remains humble and approachable through his success - His assistant, Samantha and recommended professional photographer, contractor, roofer, are la crme of the crop - second to none Cons: - absolutely none As a side note, I attended a retirement party and found out three additional co-workers hired Destry as their buying and/or selling agent. We shared nothing but positive experiences! Thank you Destry :) (Part 2/2)

Reid J. sold a home in Temecula, CA

To: Whom It May Concern It is my wife and my immense pleasure to write a review on Destry Johnson, who we initially believed to be the best real estate agent to represent us, and sell our $550,000.00 Temecula, California home. We based our decision to use Destry exclusively on our communications over the telephone, e-mails, and text messaging. Over the short period of a 2 weeks we found Destry to be a consummate professional, who delivered ALL that he committed to. From Going Live (Listing on Zillow) it took Destry a TOTAL of 10 days to have an Open House, Followed by an Initial Offer, Followed by a Counter Offer, Culminating in Going into Escrow, and Leading shortly thereafter to a Successful Closing. It is both rare and refreshing, in this day and age, to find professionals like Destry, who enjoys his profession and his work, while committing to diligently working, what seemed to be 24/7, and at the same time delivering superior service to his clients.

Not to mention gladly tolerating, as well as welcoming countless questions expediently. We could not be more pleased with the entire sales process from the initial listing to escrow to final closing. This review/recommendation comes from my wife and my many experiences, with a number of real estate agents, whom we have purchased, and sold a number of homes in NY, DC, and California, throughout our 45+ years of marriage. Destry exemplifies everything one expects, but seldom gets from people in sales. To us, Destry represents the Best-of-the-Best, when it comes to real estate agents. We recommend Destry without reservation, and we would not think twice about doing so. We are also more than willing to communicate verbally, or in writing with anyone looking to buy a home, or sell their home through Destry. Lastly, Destry has what I refer to as the 3 Ps to success in life and business. *** Patience / Perseverance / Persistence *** Most Sincerely, Dr. Reid Jilek
