Steve & Lynda Stefani

I have referred Grady to at least 5 different clients to represent them in the sale of their homes as a short sale. Every client was extremely happy w/Grady’s knowledge of the short sale and foreclosure processes and communication. I have also worked with Grady as a buyer’s agent, when Grady was the listing agent. In all respects Grady was professional, represented his client well, and a pleasure to work with.

Pablo Gonzalez

It has been two and half years since I have known Grady as a close friend and a fine colleague at work. Grady is one of the most disciplined and punctual people I’ve ever known. His ability to work efficiently under stressful conditions and nerve-wrecking deadlines speaks volumes about his hard work, determination and his composed demeanor.

Tiffany Robinson-Livingston

Customer Service Representative Lawyers Title Palm Springs

I can’t tell you the numerous compliments I have received regarding Grady Beck’s performance on his transactions. He is one of the most professional yet personable Realtors I have worked with. Grady and his wife Carol ARE the ultimate TEAM in the real estate industry. I have closed countless short sales for them, all of which they were able to successfully negotiate with the Seller’s existing lender of record to lower their payoff amount in order to close escrow which helps the Seller avoid a foreclosure on their credit. To sum Grady up in one word: “unparalleled” service!!

Lucina Duran

Grady is a detailed oriented professional. Has extensive knowledge of the real estate field and was excellent to work with.

Sue Pixler

Former Area Manager at Titanium Solutions

It is my pleasure to recommend Grady Beck as a Local Listing Broker to market and sell real estate assets. I am the Area Manager for Titanium Solutions. Titanium Solutions is the leading provider of homeowner contacting and counseling services. We work with many of the nation’s largest mortgage servicers, primary mortgage insurers, government agencies and counseling agencies to facilitate communication with homeowners facing foreclosure, before it is too late. If counseling does not work then we will assist in the sale of the home. Overall, Grady has excellent communication skills and a very strong work ethic. He completes assignments without delay and in a professional manner. Grady is very passionate about his work and the clients that he works with. In the year and a half that I have known him, he has shown his determination to excel in this market by growing and expanding his business with new ventures. In conclusion, I think Grady Beck is a tremendous asset.

Bill & Vikki Schultz

We have worked with Grady on several transactions over the last few years. We have always found him to be very professional to work with. Grady has always believed in full disclosure in property transactions to protect everyone. This sets him apart from many agents that close their eyes to issues that may arise in a transaction. We would highly recommend Grady to any one we know.

I would like to give testimony to the deep integrity that Grady Beck possesses, and it shows itself in the person that Grady is, with his family, within his personal service, with the work that he does, and how Grady constantly reaches to the hearts and lives of so many others to encourage them and provide them with all that he has that he can help them with. He does not grow weary in doing good, and he does it not for personal praise, but simply to serve, and to quietly serve well through others. May people like Grady keep encouraged as he helps and serves others so diligently. Keep up the good work, Grady. What you sow you will bountifully reap. And thank you for impacting my own life in doing so!

Toni Aiello

Client and New Friend

First of all we want to say Grady Beck as our realtor went above and beyond the search for our new home. With us not knowing this area Grady was always so knowledgeable answering all her questions, he not only knew the area, but the plants that would grow well here, the wildlife surrounding the area, the weather and where to shop. Homebuying can be very stressful, but Grady always had a positive response encouraging us in knowing he was going to help us get the home that was right for us. Every home he showed us he was quick at finding the answers to our questions. We definitely would recommend Grady Beck he is an honest and wonderful advocate for his clients always having their best interest as his number one priority. As a human being he was so understanding of our situation and he had the patience of a saint. It was a privilege to work with someone with so much integrity, I would like to thank him for communicating our needs so perfectly to the seller. One last important bit of information is that Grady is still checking in on earth after the sale to make sure that we are settling in comfortably in our new home.
