"I hired Sequoia to market a vacant hair salon I had been trying to sell for 3 years. I'm glad to say that the sale closed last month thanks to Rick. I had my building listed with another firm that had a good story but was weak on results. I wish I had given my listing to Rick first and saved myself a lot of time and interest $.

I found Rick to be short on hype and flash but long on experience. He kept in touch and would discuss options with me and then execute them. He knew how to market a property and work with a prospect to overcome the hurdles along the way and get the deal DONE. Isn't that what it's all about? I highly recommend Sequoia as true professionals that know the market and quietly produce results."

Jeff Kenyon, Arcadia GlassHouse

"Rick Ferris and his team were extremely professional and helpful in guiding us through evaluation of several commercial buildings. He stuck with us through the entire process and offered good solid advice - never any pressure to buy. Within a just a few short months we found a good property, negotiated a great price, and closed the deal. My highest regards."

It was a pleasure working with you and the rest of the Sequoia staff. Thanks for getting the job done and for the nice people you brought in. We would definitely use you again!

Richard P. Muny

I want to thank you again for applying what I consider a rather unusual approach to an old problem. I have been very happy with your conduct and will recommend you to all my business associates.

The concept of buyers agents is not new but you were able to accomplish a land purchase for me that I had been trying to do for several years. The answer was not simple. Your contacts in the business and visibility in the marketplace seemed to do the trick. I'm very sure that our strategy never would have been effective if I had just done it myself.

I would be glad to speak with anyone who is contemplating this strategy to help them in the decision to use your services. Thanks again for being a professional.

~Richard P. Muny

Fred Frisco

Everyone at Sequoia Realty has been truly professional and has made me feel very welcome. I would especially like to single out Linsey Jasinski. She has gone out of her way to make sure our company had a place to call home through Sequoia Realty. Just when I was ready to give up on finding a building this year Linsey searched all options possible and found a solution.  Linsey introduced me to the owner of the building we decided to lease and has been available for both parties ever since.  Her friendly, confident smile and knowledgeable background has provided comfort to me and has helped to make my new business venture a success!
