I first contacted Judge Bellamak approximately eight months prior to actually listing our home. We exchanged a few emails and right off the bat, I found him to be friendly, very knowledgeable, and willing to share his expertise. He provided me with an informative perspective of the Phoenix real estate market, in general, and my area, in particular. I later learned that “my area” was also “his area” and that we lived in fairly close proximity.

At the time of my initial contact, my wife and I were only thinking about possibly selling. We had no specific time parameter in mind. At no time did I feel pressured to make a decision about listing our home. From our first email exchange, all conversations with Judge or Traci had the tone and tenor of conversing with a good friend, it was truly that comfortable.

Over the next several months, I periodically reached out to Judge to obtain his updated perception and assessment of the local real estate market and to keep in touch. A month or so later, my wife and I decided to sell. I notified Judge and shortly thereafter, The Bellamaks came to our home. We walked through the house and then sat and talked. Both Judge and Traci are very personable and both extremely knowledgeable. We spoke for a considerable period of time, which was thoroughly enjoyable and wonderfully informative.

We then made the decision to list our home with them and it is a decision we have never once regretted. The entire experience from Day One far exceeded anything we could have imagined.

In fact, from our first walk-through, Judge’s knowledge of house systems (plumbing, roofing, heating/cooling, etc.) and structural components was beyond impressive. He was able to assess various systems and components and offer suggestions that proved to be invaluable once we listed the house and ultimately, when a buyer had the house inspected. Having retained other realtors throughout the years, I have never encountered any individual who brought with them this additional level of expertise, as did Judge Bellamak.

Communication between us was ongoing from the beginning, through to the sale and closing of the house. Whether in person, by text, email or phone call, Judge and/or Traci were always available, always friendly, always helpful, calm and thoughtful. In a process that inevitably has emotional highs and lows, The Bellamaks were consistently good-natured, professional and positive in their outlook. Working with them was a wonderful experience. If we had another house to sell, we would list it with them today, it was truly that positive an experience.

We had numerous conversations throughout the various stages: Listing, showing, offers, counter-offers, and ultimately acceptance. Beyond that, Judge and Traci’s expertise helped us navigate the rarely enjoyable home-inspection process and they were extremely helpful assisting us in deciphering the resulting inspection report.

At all times, my wife and I felt that we were one half of an extraordinary team with The Bellamaks. With their collective expertise, we never felt vulnerable or out of our comfort zone. We always felt protected and that Judge and Traci had our best interests, first and foremost. The advice, recommendations and suggestions received from The Bellamaks were outstanding and without question, facilitated the entire negotiation process, culminating in the sale of our home at a price that made us very happy.

Now that the sale has concluded, we plan to keep in touch periodically with Judge and Traci. They are both very sincere, caring individuals, with a delightful sense of humor, who actually engage in meaningful conversation which consists of both speaking and listening. Throughout the time they represented us, we always felt that we were heard, and our feelings and opinions were always welcome. At no time were we ever asked to do or accept anything we weren’t comfortable doing or accepting.

In short — probably too late for that — we thoroughly enjoyed working with The Bellamaks and it has been our pleasure to recommend them to our friends and colleagues. It was a superb experience, with an outstanding result — thanks entirely to Judge and Traci Bellamak.

Judge, I want to thank you for helping me sell my house in Marion Estates.  Your passion for this unique Phoenix neighborhood, and your understanding of its diverse and evolving housing mix, made you the ideal realtor to sell my house.  I was more than please with you and Traci, as well as the success we had.  You helped me prioritize what should be done to sell my house for the best value.  On a personal note, I enjoyed you and Traci as neighbors — the community is very lucky to have you two.  I am sure that you and the wonderful Marion Estates will keep moving to greater heights!

We put our trust in Judge and Traci — and we were not disappointed.  They made the entire process much easier than we expected.  Even on moving day, when their jobs were technically over, Judge and Traci were right there with us — helping to make the move as smooth as possible.

I am an attorney and my wife is reading intervention specialist for young children.  We recently sold our home in North Arcadia and purchased a new home in Scottsdale.  Judge and Traci handled both transactions for us — and they did a fabulous job.  We got top dollar for the home we sold, and they negotiated a highly favorable price for the home we brought.

We found Judge and Traci to be extraordinarily knowledgeable about all aspects of the real estate market and home construction in general.  Right from the start, they understood our goals and our needs and they worked exceptionally hard to get the job done.  They were professional, approachable, honest and encouraging.  They kept us informed every step of the way and worked around our hectic schedules and family activities.  As a result, we were all on the same page: there were no surprises — and it was a lot less stressful for everyone.

We could not be happier with the results of the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home.  Judge and Traci not only got the big things right, but they excelled in taking care of the little details that made all the difference.  It was a pleasure to work with them individually and as a team — and we highly recommend Judge and Traci to anyone who is considering the sale or purchase of a home.

Traci, It has been a real pleasure working with you on this transaction between your buyers and my sellers. It’s nice to work with someone who has good communication and organizational skills and is also just a genuinely nice person. I hope we get the opportunity to work with each other again soon.

Thanks again for representing us so well in the purchase of our Phoenix house. Traci did a superb job of assisting us in buying a house in the Biltmore area in March, 2004. She located a house that exactly fit our needs. Then we had two long and distant trips scheduled between submitting our offer and the closing date. Traci handled all of the details prior to the closing smoothly and efficiently in our absence. We recommend her highly for her thoroughness and attention to detail….all delivered with unfailing good humor.

We know you went the extra mile for us since our first June hunts and you always remained upbeat, encouraging, professional, thorough and fun. You showed sensitivity to the children and your patience’s was most appreciated. I am ready and willing to write your nomination for realtor of the year. I admire your exceptional quality, follow through and charisma as a realtor.

Thanks for all your patience showing us about 100 houses before we finally picked one. You were always very supportive and not pushy! And thanks for making it so easy to get through the closing. All your extra offers of support have been really appreciated!
