"……………I have nothing but good impression of Ken West and his people too. With your permission, I will forward this message to Ken. Everyone likes to get a pat on the back now and then especially when they have earned it. Larry Shuppert" -- Letter from a seller to a buyer

"Dear Kim; Just a card of thanks to you, Danelle & everyone associated with our recent property purchase through West's Real Estate. I cannot recall when I've seen any transaction go as smoothly as this one has. It seems that there is at least one annoying glitch to mar almost every business deal these days. Competance and professionalism always shows through! and above all, the easy and friendly atmosphere was appreciated greatly. It will not be forgotten should we need real estate service again. Thank you, Earl & Norrine Gigstead" -- Satisfied Buyers

"4/1/05 Dear Ken; Please forgive my delay in writing to you regarding the sale of our lake property. Alan and I and our entire family were very pleased with the way you and your office handled this sale. Being owners of Homan Lake for almost 60 years and selling it was a very sad and traumatic thing, but you and your office were most kind, helpful and diligent during this process and made it easier for us all. Thank you again for all that you did, it was most appreciated. We wish you continued sucess in the years to come. Sincerely, Alan and Pat Homan" -- Satisfied Seller

"Dear Danelle, We wish to thank you for all your efforts during the past months. Your professionalism and positive attitude were greatly appreciated. We never had to wait to have a phone call returned, task accomplished or questions answered. You and West State Wide always gave that extra effort to serve us. It was a pleasure doing business with you and West State Wide. Sincerely, Ron and Mary Alice Follett" -- Satisfied Buyer!

"June 29, 2004 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN RE: Kenneth West I have had dealings with Ken West and his agency for the past twenty plus years. Ken has always approached his job in a professional and efficient manner. He and I have had numerous relationships over the years which have included attorney, client, broker client, working with common clients and lastly, his appearance as an expert witness in my court. I would be happy to attest to his integrity and professionalism. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Very truly yours, C. Joseph Schwedler" -- Former attorney now Iron County Trial Judge

"Hi Danelle; .......................Your paperwork came through nicely on the land closing, and I must say that this has been the easiest real estate transaction I have ever had. Thanks, George Kamber" -- Satisfied Seller!

"Dear Ken, Sales Associates & Support Staff: With happy heart and pleasure I send this Letter of Thank You to all of you for your loyalty to us. It is our privilege to proudly provide you with title evidence for a period in excess of 30 years and it is a pleasure to work with a good real estate company, such as yours. I remember working with Bud West & Lowell Brammer at the time they had their office in Sagola back in 1974, when, I believe it was originally United Farm Agency. Even though, at that time we were the only title and abstract company in this county (we still are the only local company) we always looked for ways to improve our services to accommodate the customer. Before Peninsula Title & Abstract Corp., the abstract companies usually provided two to three week service to update an abstract and title insurance was something that had to be issued by a company below the bridge after the abstract was done. We introduced the issuance of title commitments and policies locally here in the Upper Peninsula, along with 24-hour service. To afford you the extra remedy for title solutions, when needed, we carry multiple title insurance underwriters. It is our practice to provide you, the Realtor, with Pre-Titles before the sale to avoid any surprises when the buyer is found. Most agencies still do not provide this service. Real estate closings are done locally and every attempt is made to close as quicky as possible. Because we have a huge library of properties that we have previously insured, we can provide your sellers with a reissue credit (lower title premium). Regardless of whether the prior title policy was a lender's policy or an owner's policy, our customers realize a savings on title premiums on policies that are reissued or refinanced, in accordance with the rates approved by the Insurance Commissioner's office. But most of all, we are proud to go the extra mile, when necessary, such as with Kendric Whisler, or assisting with Boundary Line Agreements, or with obtaining name and descriptions to obtain easements, etc. etc. to help facilitate the sale. Ken, Please give a copy of this letter to everyone in your office. I don't always think to send a thank you and you all have been great to work with and loyal to us. We realize that we are actually in the same business - the movement / transfer of real estate and none of us get paid until it closes. Thank you and we look forward to many more years of helping you close real esate deals. We all appreciate your business and your loyalty. With Best Wishes, Gordon Marcinak Peninsula Title & Abstract Crystal Falls, MI" -- Peninsula Title and Abstract Corporation

"West State Wide Real Estate Attention: Ken West Needless to say, we, my sister and brother, and I were greatly pleased with the conduct and outcome of this sale. Homan Lake within its entire section, was one of the few remaining private lakes in Iron County. It had been our own lake for nearly sixty years. We all had mixed feelings about the sale. It was emotionally upsetting for all of us. You considered these and gave us reasonable sales potentials after a thorough research of the property. I personally thought we would need to have a National firm handle this sale with local realtor participation. I am now happy that such was not required. Your firm handled this sale with great professionalism and in the process were were able to include many covenants and deed restrictions, that will keep this property private, upscale, environmentally OK, and beautiful, as we have known it, for all the years it was ours. Sincerely, John F. Homan" -- Satisfied Seller

"Department of Veterans Affairs Dear Mr. West: We have concluded the transition of our Property Management operations to Ocwen Mortgage. This is an appropriate time to reflect upon the Property Management operations. For many years, the acquired sale program provided the only available source for home ownership for a number of prospective purchasers. It must also be considered that the properties were in fact, an asset of the United States Government, and therefore due diligence was required to maintain and often improve those assets. We consider the Property Management function a considerable success over the years here in Michigan. Our success could not have been achieved without the tireless cooperation of our Management Brokers staffs. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you and the members of your staff, for all your efforts on behalf of the Department of Veteran Affairs. Sincerely yours, Keith Thompson Director" -- Department of Veterans Affairs

"Champion Realty Corporation Dear Ken: I and the undersigned sincerely thank you and your people for the wonderful box of Christmas “goodies” we received from you this week. It was extremely thoughtful and considerate of you to remember us this way. You and your staff are real professionals and you did an excellent job of marketing some tough land tracts for us over the past few years. You can be assured that should Champion Realty acquire additional lands to market in the future your firm's name will be high on the list of prospective brokers. again, thanks for the candy and T-shirts. Be assured that Crystal Falls and the UP will get some excellent advertising in Texas as eight different employees of Champion Realty will be parading around in the T-shirts. All good wishes for your continued success in this coming year. Sincerely, Lin Mundy, et al" -- Satisfied seller!

"Dear Ken: While it has been quite a few months since we closed on our house with Danelle, I haven't forgotten what a pleasure she was to deal with - she was awesome. Buying the house we wanted proved to be a little bit of a challenge - through no fault of Danelle's - but wanted you to know that she was one of the most profession people I have ever dealt with in buying a home. She was not only professional but very patient, pleasant, knowledgeable, always accommodating our schedule; and never gave up on us finding what we wanted. I always recomment her to everyone. You are very lucky to have her as part of your team. Sincerely," -- SATISFIED SELLER September 19, 2006 West State Wide Real Estate, Attention: Ken West

"Dear Ken: I wanted to write to you to let you know how pleased I was with your company, West State Wide Real Estate. My first transaction with your company was almost thirty years ago when I purchased a parcel of property and sever years later your office also sold it for me. Most recently I listed a parcel of property with your office once again. I was very please with the way I was treated from the listing to the final sale. I was impressed with the quick action on your part of the onsite evaluation of my property. There are not many agents that would take the time to walk the property the way you did. The property was listed quickly on the internet along with the pictures you took. When we had questions that needed to be asked to the local government agencies you did this I believe the same day, and got the answers we needed. You also researched the local market prices to properly price this property. I do not know of another Realtor that i have dealt with in my 29 years of real estate investing that has done their job representing me as their client the way you did. You handled the whole process from start to finish with the highest level of professionalism. This work ethic is a rare trait nowadays and I would highly recommend you and your company to anybody with hesitation. It has been a pleasure to work with you and your company, West State Wide Real Estate. I look forward to working with you and your office in the future. Sincerely," -- Satisfied Seller
